There’s a mutual magnetic attraction that occurs when meeting someone for the first time. A chemical reaction, a spark occurs, before our conscious mind can realize or comprehend what’s happening, as it’s beyond our senses.
What occurs is a process of science, chemistry and physics, before saying, “Hello, is it me you’re looking for.”
There’s a sense of anxiety which is quickly overtaken by anticipation, which is ultimately consumed by excitement.
The heart pounds as the sweat glands activate, when meeting someone for the first time.
This especially if it’s a romantic encounter, such as a blind date or at a night club.
If you instinctively like that person without a word spoken, you wonder if they like you back.
The Attraction Process
One of the biggest mysteries of human nature remains attraction, why we’re attracted to certain individuals.
And why we’re completely turned off, and don’t immediately like someone else.
Others around you can observe this chemical warfare before you can, the attraction between two people.
What exists are a variety of nonverbal cues, some which transmits into positive aura, when someone’s initially attracted to you.
Spontaneous Increased Eye Contact
What people subconsciously do is look at those they like, while avoid looking at people they don’t like.
It’s known it’s the brain chemical oxytocin that’s causing this reaction, and the reason for increased eye contact.
What elevated levels of oxytocin does is increases mutual eye gaze, as you steal glances.
What doing so does is provides a soothing sense of well-being, which invites and increases mutual attraction.
It’s oxytocin that’s responsible for increased pupil dilation, which indicates interest.
The wider the dilation is, the more attracted the person feels towards the other.
Look But Don’t Stare
Some knowing this, will purposely dilate their pupils, to make themselves appear more sensual.
There’s a fine line between increased comfortable eye contact and staring, which can then become creepy.
You can comfortably increase mutual gaze, by maintaining eye contact while you slightly turn your head to momentarily break the gaze.
The other person won’t perceive your extended gaze as staring, because your head is moving.
Why Are You Touching Me
What people often do is unknowingly touch the person they are attracted to.
During romantic encounters, what women may do is lightly touch the arm of the person they are talking to, if there’s likely.
This light glancing touch isn’t an invitation towards a sexual encounter; as all it indicates is she likes you, even before she realizes it herself.
What men will do to express mutual respect with another male by fist or chest bumping, lightly tapping the shoulder, or in sporting events, hug.
Men will express their attraction towards women, by lightly engaging in similar playful physical activities.
Various Touching Tells
Another way of showing attraction is by preening, such as adjusting a crooked tie, picking lint off clothing, which subconsciously indicates a person likes you.
Touching is one of the best reveals, if a person is interested in you or not.
To test is out, accidentally, casually touch another person you are attracted to and see how they react.
If they suddenly or abruptly pull away, the person isn’t attracted to you. They don’t like you, or aren’t interested in an intimate relationship.
Leaning Forward
Body language, it’s orientation is an important indicator which reveals if the person you’re talking to, likes you.
People will instinctively lean forward towards those they like, while distancing themselves from those they dislike by leaning back.
This inward leaning forward increases, as rapport increases. If you’re sitting next to someone and like them, your heads will simultaneously begin turning towards one another.
The shoulders will also begin to slowly align. Beyond that, their torsos will begin to turn, as they’re now facing one another, while leaning forward.
Mirroring Each Other
What others will observe before you will, is the subconscious reaction of mirroring the other persons body position, if there’s mutual attraction.
Mirroring establishes compatibility, which can also be used to find out whether the person likes you or not.
What it does is sends out a signal you like them, and in turn, they’re also telling you the same.
When you meet someone you’re attracted to, begin mirroring their body position.
Then at some point later in the encounter, intentionally alter your body stance.
If the person begins to mirror you within several seconds, then they like you as well.
Placement Of Barriers
When first meeting someone, if they like you and are wanting to know you better, they’ll inadvertently begin removing obstacles between both of two.
If they don’t like someone they’re with, what they’ll subconsciously do is instinctively start placing barriers.
This can often be a physical barrier, such as a newspaper, cup, cushion, purse, or whatever is immediately available.
Placing a barrier however, doesn’t always necessarily mean they don’t like you.
Hey Not So Fast
It can also mean they’re still not comfortable with you, have questions about you, that rapport has yet to be established.
So if the person you’re interested in, happens to place some type of obstacle between you two, be patient, as a bond isn’t established yet.
As the conversation continues, monitor if the person begins moving the objects.
If they happen to place it to one side, then they’re also removing the uncertainty they feel.
Nonverbal Behaviour
What being aware of nonverbal behaviours does, is allows you to monitor the progress of who you’re with.
If a mutual rapport is starting to build or not, which indicates whether a person likes you.
These nonverbal behaviours reveals all, which opens up the opportunity to develop the relationship under mutual conditions.
