If
either of these girls (on the left or right)
walks up to you,
looks into your eyes for 10 seconds,
then asks,
"Could you tell me the time?"
You REALLY think she wants to know
what time it is?

If you're a straight guy - and you give her the time of day and walk away, you REALLY need to
learn more about BODY LANGUAGE.

Okay, now women.

This guy walks up to you slowly, keeps his eyes on you, then says, "Excuse me.
Do you know where I can mail a letter around here?"

You think he's desperate to find a post office?

Think about it. He's smiling openly and approaching slowly with his head tilted.
Hallooo!
Offer to show him the way - walk with him -especially if it's a few blocks away!

Think.
Always be ready and aware! You never know when the perfect opportunity might
be standing there in front of you.
That's WHY understanding body language can REALLY pump up your love life!

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all!

According to experts, our non-verbal language communicates about 50% of what we
really mean (voice tonality contributes 38%) while words themselves contribute
a mere 7%.

Our bodies send out messages constantly and often we don't recognize
that we're communicating a lot more than we realize.

Our understanding and use of non-verbal cues in facial expression are familiar to us nearly from birth

By familiarizing ourselves with a few basic nonverbal signals, we can improve our ability to
understand what people are really communicating and become aware of what we are
broadcasting to the world with our own non-verbal cues.

A person's body posture, movements and positions more often tell us exactly what they mean
(which may be the exact opposite of what they are saying). Many people are unaware of how loudly they communicate
with their bodies.

This guy might as well stand up, wave his arms and scream,
"I'm a lousy cheat! Please - flunk me, now!"

Our use and reading of body language is largely unconscious. We understand what
a person indicates with their gestures and body positions and we send out our own
messages - but we rarely stop to think about how we do it.

Often when a person is considered to have great intuition about other people,
their understanding is actually due to careful observation of individuals,
and conscious or unconscious understanding of non-verbal communication.
These people can see and interpret verbal and non-verbal language due to
training or years of observation and analysis of people.

We need to recognize and give credibility to
our own "intuition" and "feelings" about a person or situation.

One of the most basic instances involves our personal "space."
We notice that when a stranger or someone gets too close, we feel uncomfortable.
Unconsciously we know the distancing from others that is appropriate for
our own culture. Every day we judge our own distance and respect the space of others
by avoiding getting too close and follow our "feeling" to adjust to the correct
distances from friends as opposed to acquaintances or strangers.
