Body Language Is Important
by angelic_magic at 10/7/2009 8:56:09 AM


There are definite body language signs, which say you are available, so if you are looking for love, you will want to make sure that you are giving off signs that you are “available”.
Each move we make should signal that we are an individual who is alive and very proud to be who they are! We may be very diplomatic, we can act in a certain matter,(depending on the situation),we can hide our inner thoughts and opinions and eventually think that we express only what we consciously want,through words. But if we believe this, we are totally wrong because our entire appearance has something to say about who we are, how we think and what we feel inside.
People have a presence about them, which can give hints as to how they are thinking.
Our body language will show someone if we are interested in them,and noticing their body language will help us to understand if that interest is reciprocated.! These are powerful signs.
If you think dating is all about the words we speak, then you are very far from the truth. When it comes to dating, nothing is more important than our body language. 'Speaking' the right dating body language is important because it can tell your date what kind of person you are. And this can either make your date or break it.

The reason why the body language is so powerful is because it speaks directly to the subconscious mind. It wins over verbal communication at the time. If, for example, you are excited about something and yet you keep your arms folded, your body language communicates the opposite.
But if you use the wrong words, your body language can make up for it.


We express more than words through our body language. Our face often mimics our gestures and our body position can confirm what we are saying. However sometimes without our conscience awareness, our body gestures show something different then our spoken word.
There are two levels of communication that occur in any interaction:

* content
* process

Content refers to what we SAY.
Process refers to EVERYTHING ELSE that occurs.
Remember to make eye contact, it is impossible to connect with anyone without looking them in the eye.
If this is something that is uncomfortable for you to do, then start practicing by looking everyone and anyone in the eye just to get used to it. Researchers have measured the length of the average casual eye contact at about 100 milliseconds. The flirting eye contact lasts at least 150 milliseconds. Amazingly it is done unconsciously and very accurately
We can communicate the way we feel without even realizing it.
A person who feels good about themselves will be perceived to be more attractive than a person who is nervous or anxious. This is why is very important to feel comfortable with the way we are. Feeling good about ourselves shows through.
Words are not the only indicator that shows what happens inside of us. There are many other components which let someone know what kind of person you are.. We should be sure that what we feel on the inside is in sync with how we look on the outside.Feel the goodness of being YOU on the inside..let it flow outward. That way we can be perceived by others as honest people who can be trusted.
Don’t forget to smile! Add life to your smile,FEEL good about your smile. This does not mean that you should smile all the time. Adding “life” to your smile means that you smile whenever it feels right. We have all noticed how contagious a smile can be,let yours be one of those smiles!

Yes so true ! I pay a lot of attention to face & body Language when I am in public........ I also sell a product at public festivals, so I need to pay great attention to peoples body language, to be a good merchant..& too know who is the one that is going to try and steal from me...... I can instantly tell if a women is friendly or want to be ignored in public by their body language, eye to eye contact is good but I never look more than a second or two, as starring is a big turn off, I learn about that real fast in Jr. high school wile meeting & having girl friends. Tone of the voice is very important as well !! Thanks You !

I am in total agreement with this and pleased to see tone of voice brought into the mix as well.Many people have no clue as to the many different aspects of communication.......soooooo much more than the noise comming out of your voice box...

I am a people watcher. Yes body language and eye contact is very important. I worry about people that don't smile, I feel as though I need to do something or say something to make them feel better.

I have always said that I can learn more about a person in a 10-minute face-to-face conversation than I could in six months of exchanging emails, and that is directly due to the things you are speaking about. The physical body language, vocal inflections, facial expressions, etc. all speak much louder than words, if a person knows what to look and listen for. I make my living dealing with people and use these tools to separate the real people from the chiselers, bull shitters, users, and cheap-skates (trying to get something for nothing). And all of these people skills spill over into my personal life as well. I agree with almost everything you said, but in the second paragraph you said these things speak directly to the subconscious mind....I think they speak directly FROM the subconscious mind. A person can lie or bull shit all they want to, but it's next to impossible to fake or control the things we are speaking about here. Another extremely thoughtful and well written topic, Miss Angelic. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
