Eye contact

Keeping eye contact definitely points to a sign of interest, connection, and especially intimacy. If your S.O.’s eyes dart around the room or even behind you, they could be preoccupied with something else other than what you are trying to express.

Darting eyes could also mean your S.O. is anxious. Also, keep in mind that most people are aware of their tendency to shift their gaze when they feel a bit anxious, so your partner might try to overcompensate by keeping their gaze fixed on you and blank.

Moreover, they might try to rub their eyes or even touch their face around their eyes when anxious. If you notice your S.O. scanning your body with their eyes, it’s a very clear sign of attraction and interest, especially if they don’t try to hide it when you notice the scanning.

  1. Great information. However, one thing was ignored or missed probably because the time of when this was written, but I don’t think cell phone usage should be ignored.

    1. Yes, cell phone usage is absolutely a part of body language.

      At best, it’s simply due to screen addiction.

      At worst, it means the person’s phone content is more interesting and important to them than their partner, and/or it’s their escape from a partner they’re no longer interested in or feel connected to for whatever their reasons are.

    2. It absolutely DOES!! If someone spends all their time looking at the phone while with you, they’re OBVIOUSLY not with you!!!

  2. Wake up Dave, cell phone usage has everything to do with body language. These devices have
    taken control of this generation affecting every part your life. Any person who ignores the spouse
    and family while wasting time on the phone is a fool.

  3. I agree with Sherri. When somebody is on their cell they are saying the other person is not important that the phone is more important. First off that in itself is a rude habit, end of story…

  4. Cell phones are a part of “body language”? Odd. What part of the body is the phone? Should I make sure the physician examines my phone as a part of my next annual physicals?

  5. Cell phone usage while ignoring a person is rude and inconsiderate and impolite. It is about etiquette not body language.
