Valentine’s Day - Body Language of Men and Women While Falling in Love

Falling in love is one of the most beautiful moments in once life. Body language tells more about a person’s intentions and feelings than words can do. In one of the researches conducted in University of Pennsylvania, they found that an impression of an individual is developed through:

Body gestures- 55%, Tone of voice- 38% and Words- 7%

Thus, words play a very small role in knowing an individual as per this study. Having a basic knowledge regarding the body language will help you, to a certain extent, regarding one’s feelings towards you.

                   Body languages may help the man/woman to get some clues on whether their person of interest likes him/her. But one should not come to a conclusion based on the body language. It is difficult to understand what they mean through their body language, in case of some individuals. So one should trust more on the words, which may be a good proof for ones liking.
