The language of love is made of the same words as everyday speech. Though your intentions may be slightly different from what they usually are when you are looking for a date, certain mannerisms of communication will still be the same. The secret of attraction is paying attention to the differences of communication styles between the genders. Understanding these differences can help you to avoid simple misunderstandings that can lead to your soul-mate giving you a fake smile and a fake telephone number.

Body Language

Even before the word “Hello,” slips through your lips, you are communicating with the object of your greeting. People naturally raise their eyebrows slightly when someone attractive comes into their view. This gesture is not a huge phenomenon like it is when a cartoon character sees a well endowed female and says, “Hubba-hubba.” It is a rather subtle gesture. Also, people tend to point themselves toward the object of their affection. These two characteristics of affectionate body language are fairly gender-neutral. You can keep them in mind the next time you are on the prowl for a potential partner in love.

Subtle body gestures like the ones illustrated in the above paragraph illustrate the importance of body language. In fact, most communication that occurs is actually non-verbal. Because pointing toward and raising eyebrows at attractive people are gestures that are common in both men and women, those gestures are usually perceived as ‘good vibes’ by both genders. The next time you get that feeling or vibe that someone is attracted to you, take not of that person’s body language. Also, watch your own body language when you are in contact with someone that you think is attractive.
