~ Excerpts ~ What’s your body language saying? What signals are you projecting to others? Are they positive ones? Or negative? Have you ever thought about keeping a close eye on your own body language? In the dating and mating game there will always be a mixture of both the positive and negative, depending on whom you are dealing with and the circumstances you find yourself in. Obviously, whether you are male or female, you don’t want to be directly projecting positive (or sexual) body language to someone you are not interested in. At the same time, however, you also don’t want your body language in general to come across as unapproachable or indifferent. It’s a balancing act that will take practice to master. But in order to be able to practice how you project yourself, you first have to be self-aware of your own body language and somewhat monitor your behaviour to see how you can improve. Video FeedbackIn the job hunting game there is one effective technique that trainers use to help job seekers improve their interview skills. A mock job interview scenario is set up between the prospective employee and a person acting as the employer. The whole process is videotaped and then played back to the job seeker for critiquing. Improving body language during the interview process is the main aim of this exercise. The same technique can be applied to the dating scene. In this modern digital age, many people possess a digital camcorder, or a digital still camera that has video capabilities. Set up some mock scenarios amongst your friends. Be sure to have a balanced mixture of males and females in the group. Capture some brief footage of a guy and girl role-playing a scenario where they are meeting for the first time. Play the footage back and everyone can offer their opinions on what was good about the scenario, and areas where body language can be improved upon. Although this won’t be as accurate as a real life scenario where the guy and girl genuinely don’t know each other, it will help to point out some obvious flaws in one’s body language. And it will be fun in the process. Seek FeedbackWhen out and about, have your friends observe your interaction with others. They can watch from a distance as you chat up that girl, or how you respond to that guy, and let you know how you did. Feedback from those not directly involved in the scenario can be the greatest source of useful information regarding your strengths, and the areas that might need some work. Never be so sensitive as to shy away from constructive criticism and feedback. It is essential for personal growth, improvement and learning.
Reading the Body Language Signals: Eye ContactEye contact is one of the most important and powerful components of communication and body language. But it’s all about balance. Too much or not enough and you could play yourself right out of the game. A lack of eye contact can be associated with a number of things: § Disinterest in the person or conversation § Thoughts wandering § Not listening or paying attention § Shyness § Lack of confidence § Dishonesty and deceitfulness § Anxiety None of the above possibilities are what you want to be conveying to a potential partner. They are all negative and have no real value in the dating game other than to thwart the efforts of someone you have no interest in. Too much eye contact can also tell a person a few disconcerting things: § Intense personality § Overly fixated § Possible psychotic tendencies § Over-keen § Desperate Eye contact that is overdone in the negative sense will only serve to make your potential partner feel very uneasy and uncomfortable in your presence. Positive eye contact starts off very casual in the early stages of communication between a guy and a girl. As each partner is speaking, eye contact is maintained intermittently. Glancing briefly away then making eye contact again on a regular basis lets the other person know that you are interested and paying attention, without them feeling like they are being locked with an intense stare. As things progress and the two of you are getting along famously, then more extended periods of eye contact are not only acceptable, but can make a person feel extra special and even be a turn on.
