The Significance Of Body Language Between Two People

The Significance Of Body Language Between Two People

by Matt Fuller

Body language is a significant means of genuine expression - it doesn't lie. We hide behind our words, and seek to give a certain impression.

From the day we are born body language plays a significant factor in communicating our most basic requirements. A one month old baby instinctively knows that the way to its Mothers heart is through her eyes. The baby also knows that when it is hungry, crying is used as communicating this message.



While we can control our body language to a fair degree, one thing we can't control is our pupils - yes, one of the most subtle signs that someone is attracted to you is in the eyes. Nancy Fagin writes on the BBW Magazine website: "One of the obvious signs of physiological attraction is enlarged pupils. There are two main factors that cause our pupils to dilate, attraction and dim light. To confirm whether you think someone's eyes are dilating, try and do some subtle comparisons with others in the same room."



Before all the modern day conveniences of communicating such as social networking, Twitter and online dating sites, real time face to face forms of expressions were all we knew. 30 years ago, the most common way to determine mutual attraction was partly due to body language, nowadays, dating and meeting new people has become all too easy thanks to technology.



Body language certainly goes beyond the eyes for you to be able determine attraction. Who would have ever thought that feet would play such a role in the land of love and romance! Feet stare too so if the person you are talking to is standing with their feet aiming at you, they have you well and truly in their sights.



And the foot bone is connected to the leg bone....Yep, legs will tell you something as well. If someone likes you, they will cross their legs towards you - if the legs are crossed away from you, this is a way of shutting you out.



More obvious is the way the body is facing. Says Nancy Fagin "the trunk of their body will face you squarely" if they're interested. Mirroring is another fascinating aspect of body language. Tim Boucher, a self-described itinerant scholar, explains it like this on his website: "(Mirroring) "Put simply, this implies you subconsciously do whatever it is they are doing. When they choose to move forward in your direction to say something intimate to you, you also move forward to meet them. Equally, if they move back in their chair and take a sip from their glass and look you straight in the eye, when you are attracted to someone, you will pause then copy them".



When someone feels compelled to subconsciously copy our body language it's a sure bet that they are feeling very comfortable around you and do in fact like you. This tell tale sign of mirroring someone can be used as a positive signal both in romance and in the business world.



When all is said and done, nothing is more distinctive than when the physical component is brought into the equation. Touching, laughing, and the oldest trick in the book, accidently (on purpose) falling onto someone to initiate conversation.
