The Like Switch: Person to person sitting

Question 1

Answer 1

The inward lean:
- receptive to relationship building;
- indicates a positive relationship has been established;

in association with other friend signals, indicates an even closer relationship between the parties.

Question 2

Answer 2

One person is interested, the other one is not:
- woman is not interested (foe signals) = arms crossed (provides a barrier), leans backward;

People who do not feel comfortable with other individuals will erect barriers or leave ones already there in place.
