Romantic body language is interesting to us all. Is someone interested in you? How can you tell? By reading body language correctly you can tell whether or not the other person is comfortable around you and wants to get to know you better. Here are three quick tips to get you started. Learn more about body language and ensure that you don’t miss out on an approaching potential partner.
Does the person stand close to you? This is a simple, but valuable clue to determine if someone is interested in you romantically or not. The closer they stand to you the more interested they are in you romantically. In general the two foot rule applies. If a person does not get closer than two feet to you, they aren’t interested in a romance with you. This distance is significant because a length of two feet is approximately one arms length. If the person stands close to you and within arms reach they are not apprehensive about being touched by you and are sending you a signal that they are interested in you. The intimacy of standing close to someone is a clear romantic body language indication that you have a romantic interest in that person.
Does the person copy your body language? This often happens subconsciously but if you notice someone mimicking your behaviors it is a clear sign that they are interested in you. This mimicking behavior can begin almost immediately and is very easy to read and pick up on. If you notice this behavior, you may initially feel upset as though the other person is mocking you, but this is not the case. In fact the behavior should be flattering because it is an indication that the other person admires you and is trying to become more like you in subtle ways. There is a natural instinct to try to imitate those that we admire to draw ourselves closer to them. Mimicking is pretty easy to notice and it is also a clear sign of romantic body language.
Does the person turn directly towards you? Body positioning can also be a form of romantic body language. When speaking to someone, look to see if their body (particularly their torso) is turned towards you and leaning closer. If so, that is good! This body positioning leaves the person unguarded and vulnerable which indicates trust in the other person. If this trust were not in existence then the person would not put themselves in such a vulnerable position with you. Instead, they would be more likely to stand with their body turned slightly away from you and maybe even lean away. If a person positions their body openly towards you, it is a clear example of body language that expresses a romantic interest.
Although romantic body language is often subtle and subconscious it can also send a clear message regarding romantic interest. Perhaps the fact that body language is subconscious is what also makes it such an accurate indication or romantic language. Since body language is done without thought it allows the person to send messages that they would be uncomfortable conveying verbally. Is someone interested in you? Now you have three quick ways to figure it out!
