How does your S.O. sit?
You will know how to spot a confident and relaxed sitting posture: it’s one where your S.O. is leaning back with their legs unfolded and slightly open. If your partner is a bit more insecure, they will probably have their arms and legs folded in.
One of the most common sitting positions you could pay attention to is sitting with your legs splayed open. This shows confidence and even personal attraction. Also, sitting with legs tightly crossed shows that someone is closed off, nervous, or even unreceptive. Crossed ankles could show that your S.O. is calm.
Fidgeting
If your partner fidgets while sitting or standing, it might be a sign of anxiety, boredom, or, worse, irritation. You also want to pay attention to any fiddling with the hands or any other objects.
How your partner touches or holds their head
If your partner tilts their head, then this means they are showing increased interest in you and what you’re saying. Moreover, if you notice your S.O. touching their face or even playing with their hair, it might be a sign that your partner is feeling comfortable.
If you see your partner covering up their face or even holding their head in their hands, then this might show that they are dealing with anxiety, stress, or embarrassment.

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.
Cell phone usage has nothing to do with body language!
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.
It absolutely DOES!! If someone spends all their time looking at the phone while with you, they’re OBVIOUSLY not with you!!!
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.
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…
I agree.
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?
Cell phone usage while ignoring a person is rude and inconsiderate and impolite. It is about etiquette not body language.
