This language is sometimes universal, for example in terms of the face, which can express six basic emotions \u2013 joy, disgust, anger, sadness, fear, and surprise, says psychologist David Cohen, author of <em>\u201cComment d\u00e9coder les gestes de vos interlocuteurs \u2013 et \u00eatre conscient des v\u00f4tres!<\/em>\u201d (How to decode actions of others \u2013 and be aware of your own!)(Leducs ed). And sometimes, it is more coded, depending on our culture, language...or gender. For example, men making the first move? Yes, that is a clich\u00e9 demolished by the analysis of many studies on how men and women flirt. In fact, women are the ones who take the initiative by using no less than 52 different non-verbal behaviours of seductive glances, prolonged gazes, pouts...
