We have put together some information on body language on a first date and what it all means.
The more eye contact you establish the better. Start with some sidelong glances. Then, begin with direct eye contact. Be bold and try holding full eye contact, and try flashing a small smile. When in conversation, looking at the ceiling and all around the room, also shows a definite lack of interest so if you notice this try to change the topic of conversation, maybe ask some questions about them.

First impressions count, so make sure you are looking your best. When you are looking your best you will feel your best and then you will exude confidence. Confidence, although not arrogance, is definitely attractive.

Even without direct contact, your hands can send very powerful messages. There are a number of ways to convey that you want to get to know someone. Keeping your hands unclenched shows you’re open to them. Using your hands to caress objects, such as the rim of your glass or your hair, in a rhythmic (as opposed to fidgety) manner, can be a sensual act
Having your hands in your pockets, or balled in tight fists are not good signs. Finger tapping, drumming, pointing, or wagging are also signals to move on.

Your posture is one of the most telling body language signals. An open posture is evidence of an open person. Turning your body toward the person you’re conversing with, keeping your feet flat on the floor and leaning forward are actions that show interest. As well, slightly tilting your head and crossing and uncrossing your legs, give the message that you are interested. If you notice any of these that is a good sign.

Steer clear of chain smoking, being extremely intoxicated, or having eyes only for your plate of food as these are definitely body language disasters. One last tip… you’ll know things are going really well when you begin “mirroring” one another’s body language and gestures.

We hope this will give you a few things to look out for next time you are on a date, that will give you an idea of how successfully the date is going, even if you haven’t had any verbal feedback!
