Doesn’t matter whether she is interested in you, you’ll make her interested eventually anyway:) But look for these signs to show you whether you’re already making progress:) It’s also fun to look for these signs as a by-stander, either in everyday situations or for example in a bar – when the guy earnestly believes he is being sooo smooth but the woman he is talking to isn’t displaying any of the signs presented below, you can’t help but have a chuckle about it:)
Her lips:
- Big smiles with upper and lower teeth showing with a relaxed face.
- Biting of the lips or showing of the tongue, licking her lips or touching of her front teeth.
- She wets her lips, some women use only a single-lip lick, wetting the upper or lower lip, while others run the tongue around the entire lip area.
- She puts her fingernail between her teeth.
- She protrudes her lips and thrust her breasts forward.
Her eyes:
- She gazes in your eyes with deep interest and her pupils are dilated.
- She raises both eyebrows exaggeratedly for a couple of seconds, this is often combined with a smile and some eye contact.
- She winks at you while talking to you or winks at you from a distance.
- While talking to you, she blinks more than usual, fluttering her eyelashes.
- Eyebrows raised and then lowered, then a smile indicates interest in you.
Her hair:
- She pushes her fingers through her hair. This can be one hand movement or more of a stroking motion.
- She twirls her hair around her fingers while she is looking at you.
- She is throwing her hair back off her shoulders.
Her clothing:
- If she is wearing clothes that show her nipples underneath and you notice they are getting perky and erect.
- The hem goes up to expose a little more leg.
- She is fixing, patting or smoothing her outfit to make herself look better.
While she is seated:
- She moves in time to the music, with her eyes on you.
- She starts sitting straight up and her muscles appear to be firm.
- She is sitting with her legs open.She sits with her legs crossed in a manner to reveal her thigh.
- Her legs are rubbing against each other.
- Her legs are rubbing against the leg of the table.
- Her crossed leg is pointed towards you or if that same leg is rocking back and forth towards you.
Her hands:
- She exposes the palms of her hand facing you.
- While talking to you, she rests an elbow in the palm of one hand, while holding out her other hand, palm up.
- She rubs her wrists up and down.
- She sits with one hand touching one of her breasts.
- She rubs her chin or touches her cheek. This indicates that she’s thinking about you and her relating in some way:)
- She is fondling keys, sliding hands up and down a glass, playing with toys or other things on the table.
- She plays with her jewellery, especially with stroking and pulling motions.
- She touches your arm, shoulder, thigh, or hand while talking to you (in case you already haven’t started kino yourself, dumbass:).
- She is pretending to look at her watch as you pass her.
Her voice:
- She raises or lowers the volume of her voice to match yours.
- She speeds up or slows down her speaking to match yours.
- She laughs in unison with you.
- In a crowd she speaks only to you and focuses all of her undivided attention on you.
Micellaneous:
- She mirrors your body language and body positions.
- Her skin tone becomes red while being around you.
- She blows smoke straight out from between her lips and toward you.
- She leans over and speaks into her friend’s ear, just like in junior high school.
- She is standing with her head cocked slightly at an angle, one foot behind the other, hips slightly thrust forward.
- At a party – every once in a while she seems to appear out of nowhere in your vicinity and if you move to another spot, soon she appears out of nowhere again, you catch her glancing in your general direction (actually, glancing at YOU dummy!:), she bumps into you… accidentally, touches you… accidentally etc:)
When talking to a girl, these are some of the more important signs to watch for:
- Can you keep conversation going with her?
- Does she react well to kino?
- Does she touch you?
- Does she laugh?
Now I don’t have to explain what the answer “yes” to these questions means, do I:)
From “Sweep women off their feet…”: “All these signs usually tell you that the girl is captivated by your charms. But before you get there, chances are that her body language changes as the discussion progresses. Make sure that you watch her closely and as soon as you get a sign that should be an indication that you are on the right track, keep going in that direction. If the opposite happens, just change the subject and see what happens.”
The really gorgeous and beautiful girls however very seldom get around to displaying the signs of interest described above. They simply don’t have to, as they are used to getting some attention already long before that. With such girls you have to be on a lookout for the initial and thus much more subtle signs of interest. One example of this would be a gorgeous girl simply looking at your face. Obviously people tend to look at what or whom they like to look at. But whereas an average girl first just looks at your face and then progresses into the more overt signs of interest described above, looking at your face from time to time might be the only sign of interest you’ll ever get from the most beautiful of girls.
So if you think you’re not getting any signs of interest from beautiful girls – you are, but you just can’t see them well enough yet.
Don Steele: “Here are signs of interest sent from across the room. Most are applicable to both sexes. The sequence of the list approximates the courtship sequence.
- Sidelong glance(s) – Never sneaks a peek
- Looks at you a few times – Fleeting eye contact
- Holds your gaze briefly – Looks away quickly
- Downcast eyes, then away – Looks away, eyes level
- Posture changes to alert – Posture unchanged
- Preens, adjusts hair, attire – Does no preening
- Turns body toward you – Turns body away
- Tilts head – Head remains vertical
- Narrows eyes slightly – Eyes remain normal
- Smiles – Neutral, polite face
- Matches your posture – Posture unchanged
- Eyes sparkle – Normal or dull eyes
- Licks her lips – Keeps mouth closed
- Thrusts breasts – Sags to de-emphasize breasts
In Summary. Frequency of eye contact, the more the better. Amount of time she, or he, holds your gaze, the longer the better. How she breaks off eye contact, down before away is great! Shine of the eyes, the brighter the better. Direction of body, toward you, good, away, bad. Overall posture, erect and alert are good. Tilt of head, vertical is bad, increased tilt is great. Where the drink is held, high in front as a barrier, that’s bad. Hand activity, clenched, squeezing or pinching is bad, open, caressing or stroking is great.
Most of us are slightly afraid as well as somewhat excited in settings where social interaction is expected and required. So, most people do not sit or stand in an open posture. But, during courtship, the more open the other person’s posture is, the more open that person is to you and your advances. And, the more open you are, the more likely the other person is to open up to you. First Conversation Signals. Men, pay attention to all the ways she communicates during the first few minutes as you talk with her.
- KEEP TALKING – MOVE ON
- Alert, energetic – Tense, restless
- Pupils dilated – Normal or small pupils
- Gradually opens posture – Posture remains closed
- Lowers drink – Keeps drink high
- Touches self gently – Grips or pinches self
- Caresses objects – Squeezes, taps objects
- Crosses and uncrosses legs – Legs remain crossed
- Flashes of palm – Back of hand gestures
- Crossed legs steady – Swings crossed legs
- Dangles shoe on toe – Keeps shoe on
- Hands never touch face – Touches face
- Touches you any reason – Never touches you
- Feet firmly on floor – Feet on edges or toes
- Loosens anything – Tightens anything
- Leans forward – Leans away
- Steady hands, feet – Tapping, drumming
In social settings, most of us start out in a closed, defensive posture because we’re a bit apprehensive. A closed posture feels safe. When the person you are talking with shifts to a more open posture, it signifies trust and comfort. That person is, literally, opening up to you and what you have to offer. It takes courage to open up to the other person. If you go first, she, or he, will usually follow your move from closed to slightly more open. Open up in, slow, gradual shifts of posture.
A variation of mirroring is discussed in the articles dealing with eliciting values and using trance-words – that is verbal mirroring. But a better-known variation of mirroring is physical mirroring. Actually, you’ve most probably been doing it all your life without knowing it but once you know how to harness the power of mirroring consciously – its like young Skywalker recognizing and harnessing the power of the Force:).
Notice how people that seem to be engaged in an interesting conversation – they are excited about what they themselves are saying, they are about to say and what the other is saying, in other words, they have rapport – seem to take the same poses, whether sitting or standing up. When sitting, either side by side or on opposites sides of the table – one leans forward and then the other leans forward as well, one leans backward and then the other leans backward as well, they cross their hands in the same manner, tilt their heads similarly, seem to be having similar side-activities (one playing with his keychain, the other with her pen), etc etc. Are they directing their actions consciously? No, all their energies and concentration is on the discussion, everything else happens subconsciously. But actually, they don’t even have to be having a discussion, they may just both be thinking their own thoughts… and still you can see mirroring going on – they make the same movements almost the same time without seemingly without having any perceivable interaction with the other person.
What is all this knowledge good for? Well, mirroring can be used as a tool for building rapport. Being similar or having someone similar in your vicinity creates a feeling of ease, comfort, being understood, protected (should there appear a threat of any sort, there’s two of you now:) etc. So you can use the power of mirroring to create these feelings in the one you are mirroring, she’ll subconsciously link all those feelings to you (after all, you are the one mirroring her:) and rapport is going to develop between you without you having lifted a finger (unless she lifted a finger and you had to mirror her:). How, whom and from where should I mirror? Whom – that’s easy, the girl you want of course:) How – assuming the same posture, doing the same movements with your hands, in all respects using your body in a similar fashion to hers. More aspects of mirroring are:
- Following – doing the movements after she did them. Note that although your mind screams,“This is stupid! I’m going to get caught! She MUST see me doing the same movements! This is ridiculous!” don’t’ listen to it, fight it, it is the voice of the Dark Side!:) Why? Because they NEVER NOTICE it! Instead, they feel more comfortable and relaxed in connection with you, and eventually (that’s why you even bothered, right?:) – more drawn to you.
- Pacing – doing the movements the same time with her. Yes. Sounds impossible? Well it isn’t. Have you ever noticed how you sometimes happened to do the same things at exactly the same time with another person? Maybe yawn and then have a laugh about it:)? Because you thought it was accidental? Well it wasn’t, you had reached the second stage of mirroring:) (Yawning is not a good example though; the last thing you want is the girl yawning with you:). But there’s nothing magical or supernatural about doing the movements at the same time, because essentially the second phase is a stage of transition between the first and the third. In mirroring there’s always a leader and a follower. So far she has been leading you (because you’ve been following her) but now you are coming to the stage when YOU will be leading her! And the inevitable stage between following and leading is pacing – you are doing movements simultaneously.
- leading – if you’ve done your mirroring right, have followed and paced, then you are ready for a revelation. You can lead! Try it. Cough. She coughs. Scratch your elbow. Well maybe she’ll scratch her shoulder instead of her elbow, big deal:) In addition to being a tool of building rapport, you can lead her into doing some pretty fun stuff. Do a movement with your hands mimicking the parting of legs (this should be associated with something you are talking about, if it looks strange, she’ll notice it and you don’t want her conscious attention on your movements, keep her mind busy with what you’re talking about). Watch her legs part:) Have fun:)
Another more advanced aspect, although controversial as to the effectiveness of it, is mirroring her blinking her eyes and breathing. Being able to mirror her breathing and blinking her eyes is supposed to create an even deeper rapport, but first of all – trying to see when she breathes might seem like you staring at her breasts (and you would NEVER do that, would you?:); and secondly – all the concentration required to detect and match your breathing and blinking with hers will take away much-needed attention from what she is saying, how is she responding to your patterns, values, kino etc, so eventually this could do more harm than good.
As to from where to mirror – the most common situation is when you’re talking to her. But you can also try mirroring from a distance, say in a classroom, meeting, night-club or cafeteria, just make sure she has a chance to subconsciously detect you mirroring her, in other words, she must be able to see you (so you can forget about mirroring her while watching her take a shower through a peep-hole:).
A technique of creating instant rapport by “faking” body-language. Tom, ASF: “I just finished another book about body language, and they mention several times that when someone is interested in a discussion, they tilt their head slightly. I thought that now that I knew when someone was interested, maybe I could do the same to “simulate” my deep interest in what they say. And… it works! When someone’s like “and you know, my dog just got a new collar and it fits wondefully with the living room furniture; the shade of green is just the same as the kid’s bedroom carpet and that’s great because…” – usually you would be using a few words they said (dog, collar, etc) and using the same adjectives (wonderful, great, etc) and ask something making them continue. But when you tilt your head slightly and do the same thing, it’s obvious the impact is much stronger.”
