Topic: Non-verbal cues | |
---|---|
Greetings all, just a bit of a question here, seeing as I've been out of the loop for a long time.
How do any of you detect or decipher non-verbal cues in interactions with other singles. I'm not looking for tips, just curious as to how others see these cues and how they respond to them. |

Crossed arms says stay away. Licking your lips or swallowing says that you have a dry mouth, which happens when a person is turned on, same with flared nostrils (though that could mean other things.) If someone looks at the ground a lot it communicates insecurity, or upward, left right, around anywhere but at you, it communicates nervousness. Just google "body language" and you'll come across a slew of information.

or if they stare at your crotch.

Yeah, that's a pretty big one...

A simple glance or smile can mean they are interested... crossed arms or no eye contact.. no interest at all.

Ok, I think I use different cues, that may or may not be universal! I tend to play with my hair which means Hey you're cute, "NOTICE ME" I could use help playing with my hair!!! If you touch my hair...I will definitely notice you! If I laugh a lot, "I like you...keep talking, I'm not hearing what I want quite yet, but I am listening..."
I find that the more I am attracted to someone I will stumble for words and stutter, this does not work very well! So if I am quiet, I really like what you have to say! You have my undivided attention and I don't dare open my mouth cuz gibberish may fall out! But I am smiling! If my cheeks turn red, I am physically attracted! If any of the above lead to my blushing, ask me for my number! |

Myself, I'm a bit of a motormouth when it comes to interacting. I assume that it communicates nervousness as well. Eye contact, always, however some people find it hard to maintain it for periods over 4 seconds. It may have something to do with the fact that my default facial expression seems to appear to be somewhat stern.
Most of the people I know realize this, because I tend to have a self deprecating demeanor, at odds with my own non verbal cues. |

90% off all communication is non verbal. You've been doing it subconciously all your life.
You know how to interpret it. Its on a subconcious level though and your not aware of it if you start trying to think about it consciously you'll screw it up |
