Body Language Signs to Know if Your Crush Likes You Back!

Romance can be a daunting subject. From the fear of rejection to heartbreak, expressing how you feel to someone you like can feel like an enormous task. But, it does not always have to be that way.

"Non verbal communication is a great way to tell how your partner is feeling in a relationship. There are so many cues in which you can unconsciously read your partner’s feelings and intentions. But, if you are aware of how the brain works, and the mind controls the body- you can get an even better understanding," says Pamela 'Puja' Kirpalani - A master NLP practitioner, trainer & neuro-coach, Founder - Inner High Living.

So, if you have finally mustered up the courage to tell your crush how you feel, here are some body language cues to look out for when you hang out or are face to face with them:

Head Tilt 

"When you are speaking to someone else, and you suddenly notice their head starts tilting while still making eye contact with you- this is a tell-tale sign they are interested," says Pamela.

Foot Point 

"If the person's feet are pointed towards you, you still have their attention. If you notice one foot starts pointing towards the exit, you could be beginning to ‘lose them’, so this is something to take note of on a subtle level."

Steepling Hand Gesture 

"When a person’s hands are clasped in a steeple position while listening to you (fingertips touching at the top almost as if in a prayer position)  this is a sign they are considering your proposal, listening intently or trying to focus on what you have to say."

Exposure of Neck 

"Pay attention to if a lady flicks her hair away from her neck. When she does this, she is exposing her ‘most vulnerable’ area- her neck where a large number of nerve endings lie- and this is known as a submission gesture in dating."

Leaning In 

"Pay attention to when someone suddenly leans in towards you when you are speaking. This is a clear sign you have engaged your listener and they want to hear more."
