naturally <strong>and</strong> instantly, we can gauge <strong>and</strong> watch the<br />
evolution of people’s perception of us over time.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are four signs of interest in this photograph.<br />
Julie has her neck exposed, she is displaying her wrist,<br />
she is making eye contact <strong>and</strong> isn’t showing any closed<br />
body positions.<br />
Just as we need to be mindful of positive cues, we<br />
also need to watch for negative cues. Keep an eye<br />
out for what scientists call de-courting skills, where<br />
the overall attentiveness of a person falls over time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rapport between two people can change over<br />
the course of just a few minutes.<br />
When it finally comes time to speak, it is essential<br />
to once again ramp up our mindfulness of what is<br />
going on non-verbally since things might change<br />
dramatically. Priority should always be given to<br />
subconscious body language over conscious words.<br />
For example, a woman who otherwise gives off<br />
positive cues <strong>and</strong> jokingly pushes you off saying,<br />
“get away,” is probably just teasing you <strong>and</strong> really<br />
does want you to continue to pursue. A woman’s<br />
true intensions are never quite clear, but body<br />
language can help uncover what is hidden to others<br />
<strong>and</strong> sometimes even to her. Humans operate on so<br />
many different levels <strong>and</strong> are very complicated.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is normally always conflict going on in our<br />
minds so we need to expect there to be conflict in<br />
the language we use.<br />
A woman could be subconsciously struggling with<br />
interest <strong>and</strong> at the same time be in a committed<br />
relationship. Thus, she might give off some positive<br />
cues but be otherwise holding back on others.<br />
Conversely, she might have just come off a serious<br />
relationship <strong>and</strong> be thinking of the hurt she just<br />
experienced or she might be concerned with giving<br />
off too many signals <strong>and</strong> coming off too strong. All<br />
these factors will serve as confusion that will leak<br />
from the body. In other situations, women may find<br />
themselves drawn inexplicably to someone who<br />
they would normally find repulsive. Intellectually,<br />
there may exist many reasons to reject someone,<br />
however, subconsciously her mind might find<br />
something appealing. It is this struggle that makes<br />
for a great mix of signals <strong>and</strong> cues which makes<br />
Women use body language as a means to an end. A<br />
woman’s goal is to have you approach her. On the<br />
other h<strong>and</strong>, she may wish to send a message of<br />
repulsion. In a relationship, women take the first<br />
crucial step by sending appeals to men to approach<br />
them. You must take the next step. <strong>Body</strong> language<br />
as it relates to attraction is very strong initially, but<br />
women will not continue to flirt forever. Over time,<br />
if the hint is not taken, she will back away from<br />
signaling, fearing that you are either taken or<br />
disinterested. If you are smart, you will get the hint<br />
on her first try. Women only rarely pursue men <strong>and</strong><br />
you will find that as the lines of communication are<br />
opened, the cues of sexual interest such as hair<br />
tossing <strong>and</strong> preening diminish. <strong>The</strong>se cues wane<br />
over time because their purpose is to bring a couple<br />
together rather than to keep a couple together. Once<br />
a couple is together verbal communication takes<br />
over <strong>and</strong> the nonverbal sexual body language<br />
becomes less useful. This does not mean that she<br />
has suddenly become disinterested; it just means<br />
that she no longer needs to rely solely on her body<br />
to communicate.<br />
After she signals her interest with nonverbal body<br />
language she will expect that you will approach her<br />
to open a verbal dialogue. She will, at first, stay just<br />
out of arm’s reach. <strong>The</strong> reason for this is that she<br />
can better assess how valuable she is in your eyes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> more you are willing to chase, she thinks, the<br />
better off she is <strong>and</strong> the more secure she can be in<br />
terms of your fidelity <strong>and</strong> desire for a long-term<br />
relationship. However, if after you start the chase<br />
she begins to use negative body language then think<br />
twice <strong>and</strong> back off. She may no longer be interested<br />
or you may be moving too quickly. A woman who<br />
is interested in you will rarely give off negative<br />
body language. She may stop giving you positive<br />
body language, but she should rarely present<br />
negative signals.<br />
