The Body Language Project: Dating, Attraction and Sexual ... - Wuala

Scarlett is for the most part displaying interest in Dave despite having her legs crossed away from him. She is showing great eye contact with a
slight smile and is playing with her hair which is a sign of arousal. Her left arm is closed off however, but this is overshadowed by the grooming
she is doing to her hair in combination with her eye contact. Dave is showing a confident and relaxed posture. When he is finished with his drink,
he would be best to place it on the bar top and use his hands to gesture while in conversation. He could also place his hand on his knee where it
would be in plain sight or use it to further the attraction with subtle and fleeting touching.
There is a mix of signals given off by Scarlett here. She is
definitely comfortable, which is obvious because she is
dangling one shoe from her foot. This shows that she is not in
any rush or worry about making a quick exit. Her legs are
crossed however, which is a closed body position that could
show disinterest. She seems to be fairly slumped over and
therefore disinterested, and is using her right arm to block
herself off. Her left hand is playing with her upper chest,
which combined with a blank stare on her face, is a signal of
boredom. These cues could either be because she is not
interested in Dave, the atmosphere, or is just having a bad day.
Either way, Dave should do something to liven things up.
Even though the distance between Dave and Scarlett is casual
versus intimate, Scarlett is using positive body language to signal
her interest. She is playing the tease by exposing her upper thigh
by pulling up her skirt and is combining this with eye contact.
