Sometimes, dating can make you wish you were a mind reader. How many times have you gone on a seemingly great date, only to have them ghost? You were sure you connected, and yet, no second date. Beyond frustrating! Unfortunately, I don\u2019t know of any way to learn how to read minds psychically (yet!), but there is another alternative that can actually shed some light on the mysterious inner workings of your date’s mind: body language, including the body language signs your date wants a second date.<\/p>\n
To help identify the signs, I reached out to body language expert Blanca Cobb, who confirms that, yes, using body language, there are ways to know if you and your date are on the same page about seeing each other again. It’s all about paying close attention to a few key behaviors. If your date is doing these things, it might mean that they’re interested, they’re having a good time, there’s probably a good chance they want to see you again. On the flip side, if they aren’t, then you won’t be blindsided if they go full Casper afterwards. Here’s what Cobb says you should be keeping an eye out for on your next date.<\/p>\n
01
\nYour date can\u2019t stop smiling.
\nThe first thing Cobb says to look out for is your date\u2019s expression, specifically if they’re smiling. \u201cIf your date can\u2019t stop smiling, that\u2019s a great sign that they\u2019re going to want to see you again,\u201d Cobb tells Elite Daily. \u201cYou can\u2019t help but smile when you\u2019re with someone who makes you feel good,\u201d she says. If your date is enjoying your company so much they can’t seem to wipe that smile off their face, you can bet there is a very good chance they are going to want to repeat the experience. Cobb adds that there is one more thing you can learn from your date\u2019s lips: \u201cSmiles can get a little sexual if they bite their lower lip.\u201d Noted!<\/p>\n
02
\nThey only have eyes for you.
\nHow engaged and present is your date? \u201cIf your date can\u2019t take their eyes off of you, then a second date is bound to happen,\u201d says Cobb. She says there can be various reasons why they only have eyes for you. \u201cThey might be looking at you to take you in visually,\u201d she explains. \u201cThey might watch everything you do. They look at you because you\u2019re visually appealing.\u201d But what is really interesting, Cobb explains, is that the more they look, the more it\u2019s a sign that they are interested \u2014 but also that the act of looking may actually make them even more interested. \u201cResearch has shown that strangers can fall in love with each other by looking at each other for a few minutes,\u201d Cobb reveals.<\/p>\n
03
\nThey find ways to get closer \u2014 literally.
\nAccording to Cobb, your date\u2019s proximity to you is a good indicator of how they feel about you. \u201c[If] they keep getting closer and closer to you,\u201d Cobb says it may mean they\u2019d like to see you again. \u201cYou might start the date with a couple of feet between you and at the end of the evening with being a couple of inches apart.\u201d<\/p>\n
04
\nTheir hands keep finding reasons to touch you.
\nIf you want to let someone know you\u2019re interested, you find excuses to touch them. Like brushing their hand when you laugh, or pressing your shoulder against them playfully. This, Cobb explains, is a two-way street. \u201cYou tend to touch items that appeal to you. Touch is a way to connect to someone. So, if your date touches you, then it\u2019s a good sign that they\u2019re interested in you,\u201d says Cobb.<\/p>\n
While you can never totally know what people are feeling or thinking, being able to read their body language can give you some insight. This means you\u2019ll probably be much less likely to be caught off guard, both if you date ends up disappearing, or if they end up being the one to stick around, and make you forget about all the previous second dates that never happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
