If you have ever wondered how to read the signs of attraction to tell if someone is interested in you, this article will help you to decipher the body language and gestures that signal sexual attraction. You won't have to wonder, "Does she/he like me ?", just read the language which cannot lie - the body language signs of attraction !

So, you are sitting with to your potential love interest at a bar or cafe, for the purpose of ease we will assume that this is a woman, although these gestures and signs apply for both sexes with a few variations. You are sitting opposite each other, this will give you a better perspective and a good view so you can read the signs properly, OK, so glance down at her feet, which direction are they pointing to ? If her feet are pointed towards you this is a sign that she is interested in you, or at least interested in the conversation ! If her feet are pointed away from you this may be a sign that she is less interested in you, the logic behind this is that our legs and feet will automatically go towards what we want and turn away from what we don't !

Let's say you are in a group of people which includes the object of your affection, if her feet are pointed towards you this is a signal that you are her preferred choice, in that particular group anyway. Check out the validity of this theory yourself by where your own feet are pointed, most likely towards the most desirable person in the group!

If you are met by arms folded in front of the body of the person in question, this is a back off signal ! Folding your arms is a defense mechanism and if she does this when in with you she is putting a barrier between her and you so you may want to back off !

If she tosses her hair and tilts her head this is a self-preening gesture and it is telling you that she wants to look feminine for you ! A man will straighten his tie or clothes in an equivalent gesture.

Either gender will either tuck their thumbs into their belt or jeans and tilt their pelvis towards you to indicate sexual attraction. Also look out for a woman licking her lips and running her fingers over the rim of her glass, these are also sexual gestures.

If a woman tilts her head in a child-like manner, she is trying to invoke protective feelings in you. A woman will often take on child-like traits to attract a man. Also this gesture reveals her neck which signals femininity and vulnerability which are two qualities men find attractive in a female. A man will "enclose" you by curling his arm around the table where you are sitting as if to say, " You're mine", in a protective gesture that signals his interest.

Try these tips for yourself and see if your interest is requited !
