How to judge the strength of your romantic relationship Flashcards
(17 cards)
A tight, forced smile or a half-smile with the lips pulled back tightly and not showing any teeth means that person is uncertain about how they feel about you.
The woman appears to be more into her man than he is into her:
- Her smile is genuine, with raised cheeks, smiling eyes, and lips parted to show her teeth.
- She leans her head into his head in a display of affection.
—-
He, in turn,:
- wears an ambivalent smile with his lips pulled back tightly.
- His nonsmiling eyes express ambivalence about the relationship.
When someone likes you:
- he smiles a lot,
- his eyebrows are raised,
- and his eyes open wide.
- He hugs you like he means it
- You both feel each other’s body close to you because there is no physical space between you.
He wants to engulf you and you feel the same. He has a genuine expression of joy on his face.
When someone is not into you:
- she can barely look at you,
- let alone touch you.
- She puts a great deal of space and distance between you.
If someone is not wearing an expression of joy when she hugs you, the relationship is in trouble and on its way out.
If you hug your partner and there is distance between you at the lower body level, chances are there is a lack of sexual attraction and physical chemistry between you.
There may be intimacy issues if a person always insists on hugging you from behind or insists on being in back of you.
Hugging, when there is genuine romantic affection and mutual attraction, takes place face to face, belly button to belly button.
- If one of the parties raises her shoulder and keeps her hands and arms to herself instead of touching the other, there is trouble in the relationship.
- When couples are into each other, they stay physically close and can’t keep their hands and arms off of each other.
If someone touches you at the shoulder area, she most likely just wants to be friends.
Couples who like each other:
- not only lean toward each other,
- they also walk in sync as they are literally in step with each other.
- They would never think of walking in back of or in front of each other.
If someone touches:
- your arm below the elbow -> she is probably interested in getting closer,
- and if she touches your thigh or lower body -> she is very attracted to you.
Men may put both hands in their pockets, with their thumbs pointing towards their male organ.
It is not meant to be vulgar, and most men don’t consciously realize they are doing it. But when they are attracted to a woman, many men automatically make this gesture, especially in bars and clubs when they are trying to pick up women.
Women also showcase their bodies to show a man they are interested:
- They will often play with a necklace to draw attention to their neck and breast area, which says they are available, vulnerable, and open.
- Fiddling with their jewelry draws attention to the area that attracts most men—the breasts.
- Similarly, women often toss their hair off their shoulders to draw attention to their upper body.
People attracted to each other lean into each other. It is a primitive behavior that allows for a closer view and closer smell.
If you are sitting across from someone and notice:
- that her toe is pointing up -> there is a good chance that she is attracted to you because it signifies that she is happy.
- Toes pointing up indicate happiness,
- while toes pointing down, with the heel off the ground, indicate the opposite.
If the person’s toes point in your direction while you are sitting or standing, she likes you. If you see one of their feet positioned with their toes pointing toward the door or the buffet table, she either wants to leave or she wants to get some food.
When someone is into you, that person laughs a lot with you.
- It’s time to get out of the relationship when the other person rolls his or her eyes or makes faces when you speak, accompanied by an audible sigh of impatience and disgust.
- The eye-rolling and face-making doesn’t just happen in private. It happens most of the time, especially when you are in the company of others.
