Body-Language Signs You Can Send on the First Date

These days, you can manage almost your entire dating life online, you barely even need to see another person face-to-face. But there are some things that are best said, without words. These are the messages you can send, without even opening  your mouth.

Animation – In person, the words you use, your facial expressions and even how fast you talk, can say a lot about your energy level. Are you very animated? Or a little more toned down. Keep an eye on the way you talk and make sure the way you are saying things matches the words you use.

Power Poses – Spending a few moments at home or in the bathroom with your hands up, feet apart can do wonders for your confidence. Taking a physical position of power can boost your self-image and send the message that you are comfortable and confident.

New Direction – This is an easy one: turn in the direction of the person that you want to interact with. The direction of your body indicates where you want to be. DonĀ“t be shy and turn away!

Head Dub – When your conversation partner goes on a monologue, sometimes it can be difficult to indicate that you are still interested in what they have to say. A little head tilt is the best way to send the message that you are interested in what they have to say and involved in the conversation.

Eye Contact and a Handshake – The tried and true ways to establish a connection quickly and firmly. It can be intimidating to look a stranger right in the eye, but it creates a bond. Physical contact also establishes a level a familiarity that can open up the conversation and create a more comfortable environment.
