Body language is everything and when you are dating it will serve you well to be able to read and understand a lot of the body language going on around you. Less than 10% of all communication is done verbally; the rest is done through body language. If you know some of the basic signs and signals that people generally make when they are attracted to someone, you will find that you have a lot of luck when you are dating.

One of the most obvious signs that someone is interested in you is eye contact. Men and women usually only make contact with people that they like or are interested in. This eye contact can last less than a second, or it can last an uncomfortably long time, especially in the case of women. Women who are attracted to men will often make eye contact, look away, and then look back and hold the gaze for up to ten long seconds.

Another body language cue that someone may be into you is if they mirror your movements. If you move your right hand, they will move their left hand in the same manner. If you are curious to see just how into you someone is, you can move your body intentionally to see if the person you are with will mirror your movements. Of course, not everyone does this so don't be deterred if your date doesn't mirror your every movement.

Another good indication that someone is into you is if they touch you when it is not necessary. These are just small touches, like a touch of the hand or the knee or even the shoulder. Generally people will not touch people that they do not like or that they are not attracted to, so if you are on a date with someone and they touch you, chances are that they are into you and you can make your move.

Men and women both have a tendency to play with their hair when they are attracted to someone. Women will often flick their hair back or push it behind their ears while men will run their hands through their hair or even stroke their facial hair. If you are with someone that you are attracted to and they seem to mess with their hair every time you look at them that is a great indication that they are into you as well!

Being able to read body language will come in very handy when you are dating. Even if you are not on an actual date you will be able to figure out what the people around you are thinking or feeling about you at work, in the club, or even in the grocery store. When you stop and watch the way people react to you, you'll learn a lot more than if you listen to what they are saying. Dating can be a whole new experience when you look for telling body language.

My boyfriend's ex won't go away!
By: Daphne | 13-07-2008
Can anyone give me advice on how to handle my boyfriend's ex contacting him?  She has been the thorne in our relationship from the beginning.  I do not believe there is anything going on other than her contacting him.  He tells me every time she contacts him(whether it be a text, an im, or a phone call).  He tells me he doesn't contact her and has said that she is a drama queen.  She lately contacted him to tell him about her surgery that was scheduled the following day-she sent at text at 1am!  Then she tells him a few days later that everything was fine and also that she is dating someone.  So why does she need to contact him?  I know I have no control over the situation but I get angry every time she contacts him.  I appreciate him telling me but it is very frustrating.  He is aware of my feelings when she calls and I know I end up putting him a confused state because he feels that by telling me everything is ok.  At first it was, but now it is just a nuisance!  Any suggestions to help me deal with this situation?

Will I ever meet Mr Right?
By: J | 13-07-2008
I am a 32 year old single woman who is attractive,confident,educated,friendly and open. I was in a very bad relationship about 6 years ago. It only lasted a year but left me a bit scarred so that it took a while for me to feel ready to meet anyone. However, I am now willing and able and generally lead a good lifei in most areas. I have good friends, an active social life etc.Problem is, although I do date and have met 3 people whom I have dated for over a couple of months in the last 2 years, I live in a small place where new faces are not that easy to come by,especially single and decent ones.I really put myself out there and am always up for a new date. I have stopped getting drunk every weekend and eyeing people up in bars but find it hard to discover other ways of meeting people. Am I just in a place that is too small and conservative to meet my type of people? Is it my age that is limiting me? I dont really like much younger men. would it be a good enough reason to move even if everything else was going well?
