8 Body Language Cues Somebody Is Attracted to You

The direction of the belly

In a 1930s study conducted by the well-known researcher W.T. James, it has been discovered that the direction of the torso plays a significant role in determining personal interest. Depending on the belly direction, you can even identify 4 different types of emotions:

• If the belly is facing toward you, it shows interest.
• If the belly withdraws or is placed away from you, it shows disinterest.
• If the belly is expanding, it shows heightened interest and confidence.
• And if the belly is contracting inward, it might show either nervousness or reduced interest.

So next time, try to pay attention to the belly while talking to the other person. For example, in a group setting, you could spot the person who’s most interested in you by simply looking at the belly pointed closest toward you.
