We all imagine love as a fairy tale, something that builds up like a story with a beautiful journey. Every story has its own way of unfolding, and understanding people’s body language clues can help us determine if they are falling in love or not. Knowing some of the signs and body language clues of the person you are with can be the make it or break it moment of the relationship.
What Is Body Language?
Body language is the behavior of someone’s body when speaking and understanding people’s intentions and emotions. It is non-verbal communication that happens with any kind of physical expression like eye contact, posture, gestures, facial expressions, and touch to communicate your feelings and emotions.
Overview of Common Body Language Clues of Someone Falling in Love
Falling in love comes with many changes in someone’s physiology and body language. Though it can be difficult to spot the signs that someone is falling in love, there are several body language clues that can help you shed some light onto how the other person may be feeling.
Flirting
Flirting is one of the most important way you can tell if someone is falling in love or not. Flirting body language usually involves playing with one’s hair or clothing, subtle glances, smiling, or any other seductive behavior.
Eye Contact
Eye contact is an important body language clue when telling if someone is falling in love with you. When someone is in love, they tend to maintain eye contact with you, as they want to stare deeply into the other person’s eyes and try to understand them better.
Blushing
Blushing is a telltale sign of interest and attraction. When someone is blushing or looking like they are blushing, it could be an indication that they are feeling something for you.
Smiling
When someone is in love, they tend to smile a lot more and make more expressions which demonstrate their joy. If someone is smiling a lot and even staring into your eyes with an unmissable spark, it could be an indication that the person is feeling something more than just companionship.
Mirroring
People often mirror each other when they are in love. This means that they mimick the other’s behavior such as gestures, speech, posture, movements and other forms of behavior.
Body Posture
When body language is a sign of attraction, the body posture of the other person changes a lot. People will become more open and straight as they become more attracted to each other.
Touch
Touching is another important body language indicator that can tell you if someone is falling in love with you. If someone is hesitant or too shy to touch you, it could be a sign that they are still not comfortable enough to show any physical affection or nearness. On the other hand, if they are eager to touch you or show any kind of physical nearness, it could be an indication that they are interested in something more than a friendship.
Body Language Clues of Someone Who Is Falling Out Of Love
Just like body language clues can tell you when someone is falling in love, body language clues can also tell if someone is falling out of love. This can help you understand the other person’s feelings for you and if things could go further.
Crossed Arms
Crossed arms are a sign of disinterest and disconnection. When someone has crossed arms, this means that person is not open to you, or is not in the mood for any kind of intimacy.
Monosyllabic Answers
When someone is in love, they tend to be very talkative and bubbly, but when they are losing interest and are falling out of love, they usually tend to avoid conversations. Monosyllabic answers are a sign that the person is not really interested in having conversations.
Lack of Eye Contact
When someone is falling out of love, they will lessen their contact with you, including avoiding establishing eye contact with you. This avoidance of eye contact could be an indication that this person is not interested in maintaining a deep, intimate relationship with you anymore.
Decrease in Physical Contact
Decrease in physical contact is a sign that someone is not interested in the relationship anymore. If you sense that the other person is avoiding any kind of physical contact, it could be a sign that this person is losing interest in you.
Emotional Disconnectedness
The last body language clue of someone falling out of love is lack of emotion. When a person is losing interest, they tend to appear cold and may not be open to any of your emotional or physical needs.
Understanding body language clues can be the difference between falling in love and losing interest. If you are not sure what the other person’s feelings are, keep an eye on the small details and observe the way their body language changes. Paying attention to body language can open many doors and can help us better understand people’s feelings and intentions.
