They say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. So what exactly is a man to do when a Venusian starts talking and acting like her? Body language is one of the most important, yet most neglected factors that people take for granted in the dating world.

Here are some body language clues you can learn from a girl and how they can be interpreted. Remember that these are interpretations and while they are accurate most of the time, they can also be highly subjective. We have divided these small gestures into 4 levels. Find them below:

She is physically attracted. A woman who is physically attracted will do one of two things to work magic with her eyes. She may stare at you non-stop or she may steal glances at you. Either way, she is looking at you and you notice her.

A woman who is physically attracted may cross or uncross her legs, or lean back and project herself as if she is modeling for the camera. A woman who is physically attracted licks her lips or bites them. She fiddles with the rim of her glass with her index finger. She may also not be ashamed to touch a guy on her thigh, chest, or face.

She is interested beyond your physical attributes. If a girl is attracted, but the interest isn’t sexual in nature, she won’t have that seductive look in her eyes. Instead, her gaze will be wide and her smile will be warm. Her body will be leaning forward, which means that she is ready to listen and converse with you. She will feel comfortable with her hands and will use them when she speaks.

You feel uncomfortable or very self-conscious. A girl can be self-conscious for a couple of reasons. She may feel awkward (not used to talking to a guy) or she may have very low self-esteem (she doesn’t see much in herself). She may look down when she talks, or put her hands in her pockets, or play with small things in her hands.

Although this won’t tell you if he likes you or not, it’s a good opportunity for you to boost his self-esteem. Do this by congratulating her. Choose a detail about her, for example, her hair. Then she says, “I love your hair, it really brings out the color of your eyes.”

She is not interested and might get bored. When you’re talking to a girl and she looks at everything around you except you, she may not be interested in what you’re talking about or in you. When a girl thinks you’re dumb, she rolls her eyes or crosses her arms over her chest, which in psychology means being defensive or not accepting.

So these are the signs that you may want to look out for. Reading them early will help you adjust your style before the date gets completely out of your control.
