naturally <strong>and</strong> instantly, we can gauge <strong>and</strong> watch the<br />

evolution of people’s perception of us over time.<br />

body language sometimes difficult to decipher<br />

absolutely.<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 />
