Body language will often say more about our true feelings than we do. It plays a key role in the impression we make to others – and the way other people feel about this.

When you are on a first date with someone, you are often wondering how they feel about you.

But what if you could tell a lot about how he really feels about you, without him saying a word?

This is where body language comes in. Essentially, learning body language is similar to learning any other type of linguistics.

By learning key signals (phrases) the body language of your date can tell you a lot about whether it is likely to work out or not.

Below, we have listed just a few of the common cues that guys often give off with their language.

Crossing the arms

Crossed arms is never a great sign. If he is leaning away from you with crossed arms, it usually means he's really not interested, and he doesn't even want you to think he is. This gesture is designed at protecting himself and keeping you out, and it's among the most obvious body language signs to interpret. When you see this one, it can often be the case that the date has gone beyond the point of being saved. It might be time to call that taxi and pay the bill. 

Facial expressions

One of the most expressive parts of the human body is the eyebrows, and just knowing what a guy means with his facial expressions can give you a clue as to how your date is going. 
If he raises his eyebrows while you're talking, it can be a sign that he's trying to play it cool and look a little bit aloof or that he thinks you've just said something adorable. According to experts, though, the good news is that it normally means he likes you. Men raise their eyebrows to take in as much of what's in front of them as they can, and that can only be a positive. 

Rocking

From a positive to a definite negative – if the guy sitting opposite you is gently rocking, it is likely to mean that he feels uncomfortable and potentially wants to leave. According to body language gurus, this motion is like a craving for comfort, and it may be that he feels like he's out of his own comfort zone. 
If you've not said something that you think would put him in this position, it might just be that he's not that interested. It might just be time to call for the bill. 

Fidgeting

Look out for this one when you're doing the talking – it's a good sign! While some may misinterpret fidgeting like this to mean that he's bored or uninterested, it's actually the opposite. When a guy is touching his face, he's keen to listen to every little thing you say and wants to know more. If you see this, put a tick in the positive box. 

Hand gestures

If someone is gesturing with their hands, it normally means that they're really looking to put their point across and express themselves. According to experts, the wider the hand gestures are, the better. Unless you're arguing about something, then the fact that he's so eager to express himself can mean that he really likes you and wants you to understand him. It can also be a sign that he wants to tell you he likes you but can't find the words to say it, according to some, so try taking a leap of faith and making the first move. 

Trying to get closer to you

This is one of the best of all the signs you're likely to see on a first date, and is something you're likely to witness on a first date at a restaurant. If he really likes you, he may well display it with some of the signs from above, but if he's looking to take it a step further, he's probably going to reach out towards you subtly across the table, laying his hand near yours. This is a man asking for permission to touch you. If you like him back, try gently touching his hand to give him the signal that you're also interested. ADNFCR-2867-ID-801795761-ADNFCR
