Dating Tips: It’s all about the body….language that is: Attract that date

Body language often says more than words.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression, we’ve all heard this 1,000 times. First impressions are made up of our appearance, what we say and do and our body language. Sadly, many of us often discount body language. A simple look, gesture or crossing of the arms may make or break that initial impression. We are going to focus on tips to avoid that.

Watch those arms! Folded or crossed arms come across as you blocked off or angry. Many times, it comes across as “unapproachable” or cold. Who wants to approach the angry person? When you find yourself struggling with what to do with your arms and hands, try changing your stance or putting something (like a drink) in your hand. Makes it harder to cross those arms

Smile! This is a biggie especially for the ladies. Who wants to talk to, flirt with or date Grumpy Smurf? A smile is very inviting and will make the other person feel more comfortable too.

Get close. Now we are not saying invade the person’s personal space, but let them now that being close to them isn’t so bad. Too much distance can be off-putting and once again, appears as if you are closed off.

Relax, relate and release. The last thing you want to do is come off as uptight or uncomfortable. Just breath and enjoy yourself. The other person is probably just as nervous as you and if you relax and smile, you will appear approachable and warm. Then you are ahead of the game!

Don’t be afraid to make eye contact. Eye contact is GREAT! It shows you are really engaged and interested. Sometimes that little bit of eye contact from across the room is all the other person needs to get the nerve to approach you. So get it together and give them a glace and a smile.
