five main body language signals that indicate people like each other.

There are only five main body language signals that reliably indicate people like each other.

1. Making eye contact,
2. smiling,
3. initiating conversation,
4. laughing,
5. and maintaining physical proximity.

These are all nonverbal signs that people are developing trust and rapport with each other.

Many supposed signs of attraction were not linked to liking, the extensive research found.

These included:

• flipping hair,
• using gestures,
• tilting the head,
• lifting the eyebrows,
• primping clothes,
• maintaining open body posture,
• or leaning in.

Some of these might come as a surprise since many articles in the media frequently link them to liking.
