Body Language Questionnaire: How to Tell If Someone Likes You

Relationships can be confusing. Sometimes people say things they don’t mean or don’t say the right things at the right time. How can a person tell if someone really likes them?

Understanding one’s body language can give a good insight into that person’s true feelings. This questionnaire is a good reference for understanding if a person is really interested or not, based on his or her body language.

Questions:

1. Does the person blush when speaking?
2. Does the person mimic or mirror the same actions?
3. Does the person maintain an “open” position when standing or sitting?
4. Does the person move closer or touch when talking?
5. Does the person maintain eye contact?
6. Does the person smile a lot?
7. If in a room full of people, does the person try to make eye contact, even though he or she may be on the other side of the room?
8. Does the person seem to fidget when around – juggling change in his pocket or twirling her hair?
9. Does she lick her lips?
10. Did his or her eyebrows rise slightly?
11. Are his or her pupils dilated?
12. Are his shoulders slouching towards the other person?

1. Blushing is one form of non-verbal communication that cannot be controlled. Blushing can mean many things – anxiety, shyness, shame, anger, or rage – but when coming from someone that seems to be interested, it is probably either a sign of anxiety or shyness, although not necessarily a bad sign. Remember that women wear blusher as make up.

2. Mirroring the actions of another person is a sign that one person likes another. For example, if one person leans forward, the other may lean forward as well. It isn’t often a conscious thing, but definitely is a sign of attraction.

3. The positioning of the body is important in body language. If someone is standing with their arms crossed and their body turned away, this is a sign that they are unhappy or closed off from the other person. However, if the person is turned towards the other one with arms down, this is a good sign. If sitting, look for legs open for a male or crossed for a female but pointing towards the other person as a sign of an “open” position.

4. While most people have a personal space which they don’t like invaded, when people are attracted to each other, they will move closer, often gently touching each other on the leg, arm, or face.

5. Although it varies depending on the culture, many consider holding eye contact as a sign of attraction.

6. Again, it is a cultural thing, but in many cases, people who like each other smile a lot.

7. If someone is interested, he or she may be mingling with others, but their mind is elsewhere and he or she will look around the room to see if they can make eye contact.

8. Chances are a person is fidgeting because he or she is attracted, but nervous, perhaps fearing making the wrong move or saying the wrong thing.

9. When women are attracted to a man, they will often instinctively lick their lips to show interest.

10. It may be hard to catch, but people will often raise their eyebrows slightly when attracted to another person.

11. Dilated pupils are another uncontrollable sign of attraction. Another thing to look for in the eyes is the blink rate. When people are attracted to each other, they often blink more often and in sync.

12. A man will often slouch his shoulders in the direction of a woman when he is attracted.

While studying body language can be helpful, instinct is one of the most important indications as to whether a person is attracted or not. While it is fine to consciously look for physical signs of attraction, the mind will pick up on the most subtle body language and give a person an overall feeling of someone’s attraction.
