A simple look or gesture can have many different meaning and it can be difficult to determine just what a person is trying to communicate through these actions. Particularly in the beginning stages of dating many of the physical signs acted out between two people can be misinterpreted, which can cause a great deal of frustration. Perhaps the only way to truly read a persons physical behavior accurately is to get to know them; however, because our society often teaches many of the same forms of communication through body language, there are some gestures that many people have in common.

It is through these physical actions that many people, sometimes unknowingly, manipulate situations with their new found romantic interest. Through a series of gestures certain signals are sent and a proper reaction to those signals is expected. While some of these actions may prove to be completely harmless, merely a form of flirtation, others are intended to produce a specific reaction in another person and not always a pleasant one.

Understanding how the physical language works; its intended response and how you can choose to either react accordingly, or not; can be of great help when trying to keep a clear head when dating. As simple as it may seem, when a person is attracted to another, they are often manipulated by many kinds of signals that produce an outcome that the person may have never originally desired. Because of this kind of manipulation, both men and women often find themselves regretting certain actions taken during the course of a date and can at times be confused by their own behavior. To eliminate the control of such manipulation so that each action taken by you is your own choice, rather than a nearly automated response to anothers direction, can help you to maintain control of yourself and the direction in which the relationship you are entering into takes.

Though it may never be safe to assume that a certain physical action indicates a particular feeling, in many cases it can be helpful to at least keep the possibility in mind because so many of these actions are common. Because there are so many possibilities when forming the meaning, or intention behind a certain look or physical movement, it can be difficult to know when the intention is positive. This is the focus behind understanding the mental games played behind such actions; how to diagnose the difference between a person who is interested and one who is not.

Basic Unintentional Actions:

Purposeful Manipulative Actions:

Some of the choices made in clothing styles are fairly obvious; such as tight fitting or skimpy clothing indicating that a woman wants to be looked at; but some of the choices made are far more intricate than one might imagine. One example of this planned physical movement might be a loose necked top or sweater that has a tenancy to fall off of the shoulder. Make no mistake, when that shirt slides casually from her collar bone to her arm this is often planned. It allows the woman to appear as if she is not trying to be sexy, while still showing a little skin and thus attracting another person. Another common example of this kind of action is when a woman wears a short skirt and purposefully bends herself in such a way that she will be showing off to anyone behind her. This is a very pointed action and is usually a good way to tell whether or not she is trying to attract attention. Though there is a possibility that the woman did drop something that needed to be picked up, a person can often tell whether or not the woman means it to be sexy, or not, by the way in which bends down: if the action is more of a squat than a bend it is highly likely that it is not meant to attraction attention, however is she bends her legs as little as possible there is a strong possibility that she is trying to draw attention to her physical form.

If a person is careful to observe just a few of the many physical signs that women give off, whether intentional or otherwise, the process of approaching and getting to know a woman can often be accomplished with much greater success. Though it may take patience and practice to learn; having a better understanding of the actions women take when in a social environment can help to avoid the general pitfalls that make dating a stressful game.
