Dating Wizards Crash Course In Body Language /

Body language is probably the most important weapon a woman has in her armoury. It can subtly attract the guy you want, while keeping the guys you don’t at a distance.

So to help you become fluent in body language, the experts at Dating Wizard have outlined these handy hints, to let your body do the talking.

Eye contact /

Your eyes are the windows to your soul, so they say, so use them to your advantage. If you are not already talking to the guy you want, glancing over to catch his eye is a good place to start. Once you have his interest, catch his gaze and hold it, and the drop your gaze to the floor and smile. If the next time you lock eyes he smiles, you know he’s interested. Simple!

But, more importantly, what do you do once you’ve started chatting, or are on your first date? Maintaining eye contact is good but don’t stare like you’re scared he’ll disappear if you look away. Remember that men generally engage in less eye contact than women, so you don’t want to make him feel uncomfortable. Keep it light and flirtatious and you’ll have him eating out of your hand.

Don’t close yourself off /

Crossed arms in front of you does not send out the best message – it looks insolent and unavailable. Keep your arms open and either resting on the table if you’re out for dinner, or resting by your side or on your hip if you’re at a bar. You want to give off a laid back vibe, not a ‘I couldn’t be more bored’ vibe.

Don’t clench your fists and keep your hands relaxed - remember that playing with your glass or hair (not fidgeting) sends out seriously flirty signals. If you are really confident, then accidently-on-purpose touch his arm or hand, either when laughing at something he has said or to emphasise something you are saying.

Act confident /

Sit up/stand up straight and keep your body facing towards him, and lean in to him when he is talking to show that you really are interested. Keep your head high when walking to or from him, whether going to the ladies or going to the bar. Keep your movements slow and smooth, rather than jittery and rushed.

Tease me /

Playful teasing goes hand in hand with flirting – just don’t take it too far or get too personal, which will only result in a very awkward situation. Let him tease you (but don’t let him get away with being offensive or inappropriate) as this will allow you both to relax in each others company.

Make an effort /

Bit of a no-brainer but you’d be surprised how many people don’t make the effort when they leave the house. We’re not saying you have to get dolled up like a movie star, but there is no harm in taking pride in how you look. It will do wonders for your confidence.
