Are You Sending Your Date The Proper Body Language Signals?

  • Don't Cross Your Arms Or Legs: Crossing your arms gives you a closed posture. Even when you cross your legs, you may give off the appearance that you are ticked off about something, stand offish or board. Leave your arms at your side and spread your legs a little bit. Don't be afraid to take up space. Show your date that you have confidence and that you're open to having a great time.

  • Eyes: You should maintain eye contact with your date without staring. Don't come off as creepy, but instead pay attention to what your date is saying and try to form a connection through your gaze.

  • Touching: A light touch on your date's elbow when you talk, or a touch of their hand, can send powerful signals to your date. You'll also know if your date is receptive to you by the way he/she reacts to your touch.

  • Smiling: Smiling makes you look better, it helps you form a connection with your date and it feels good. You don't have to smile like a creepy clown all night, but smile when it counts to send even more powerful body language signals in your date's direction.

  • Eyebrows: Many people tend to ruffle their eyebrows and forehead when they get nervous. Try to relax your face and smile often so that your brow doesn't look so rigid.

  • Posture: Most people tend to hold tension in their shoulders. This can cause their shoulders to get this bunched up look. Or, if the person suffers from low self-esteem, their shoulders may slump. Try to keep your shoulders back and your chest out. Show your date that you have all the confidence in the world and that person will likely be far more receptive to everything you have to say.

Keep your body parts open and receptive when you go out on your next date and the other person will likely follow suit. You would hate to ruin a good dating opportunity because you were sending the wrong signals. Keep these tips in mind and your dating body language will always be on point.
