Running your fingers through your hair, crossing your arms, playing with your eyes…these gestures may prove significant during a first meeting or a date.

Numerous psychologists are interested in body language, specifically to decode the hidden meaning behind the movement of our eyes, legs or the way we place our arms. Their aim is to assign meaning to each gesture and movement in the same way that a dictionary assigns meaning to words. In Psychology Today, Monica Moore (1995) noticed that women resorted to 52 different non verbal behaviours associated with seduction: an evasive smile, pouts, laughter, movements of the head to reveal a part of the neck and raised eyebrows. These signs, according to her, “give rhythm to the dance”. What are these gestures, often unconsciously made, that betray our will to seduce? How do you recognize when a man is attracted by you?
