Seductive Power: 6 Tempting Gestures That Leave People Begging for More
6 Seductive Gestures Most People Can’t Resist
you’ve planned a romantic date along the banks of a French river. You’ve ordered two dozen roses, clubbed and plastered with tacky fake gold paint. You’ve purchased an overpriced fragrance that makes you smell like oregano and citrus fruit combined (weird combo). The point is, your dream date is set. But what if you want to show your partner you’re interested through simple body language or dare I say, romantic gestures? Besides just an extravagant bouquet of roses, there are several seductive gestures that most people find irresistible. Let’s explore them below:
1. Keeping it Close
How close you are to your partner can affect how fast your bond may grow. Not only should you work on becoming emotionally close but physically close as well. Specifically, a little less than a meter apart when you’re first dating someone. This is a good space to keep if you want to show you’re interested. Moving any closer means you’re moving into the zone reserved for lovers, often only intimate partners close friends and family feel comfortable closer than a meter.
2. To Look or Not to Look
Social psychologist Michael Argyle was one of the first professionals to study how men and women look at each other. Usually, when someone is attracted to someone, they may take a peek behind their shoulder or glance their way. Once the other person notices them, they’ll avert their eyes in hopes they won’t be caught staring. You can try to tell if your crush likes you back by noticing from the corner of your eye whether or not they decide to look back. They may also be trying to avoid staring at you or simply wondering why you’re staring at them.
3. Tilt Your Head
Several studies have shown that when one tilts their head to one side while another person is talking, it indicates interest in either what they have to say or simply the person themselves. If you’ve made an impression on someone, they may just tilt their head, showing openness towards you. On the other hand, if you’d like to appear a bit more attractive, you may just want to tilt your head. In one study, female faces were rated as more feminine and attractive when angled downwards. Male faces were seen as more masculine when they tilted their head upwards. So go ahead and tilt your head a bit to the side, give your crush those big puppy dog eyes, it may just make them more attracted to you.
4. Show Affection with the Touch of a Palm
According to Joe Navarro, a 25-year-old veteran of the FBI, the full touch of the palm of the hand is the best way to go when showing affection. Navarro, who served on the National Security Division’s Behavioral Analysis Program, mentions in his book “Louder Than Words” that how exactly we touch others is determined by our feelings for them. He notes that full touch with the palm of the hand is considered warm and affectionate while touching with the fingertips betrays less affection. So if you’re going to hold their hand, hold their hand palms together, fingers intertwined.
5. Expose Your Wrists
Shocking, I know! The wrists. Some people think that your wrists are a sign that you like someone and are opening up to them. Our neck and wrists are some of the most vulnerable parts of our body. So if your partner lays their hands out on the table, wrists exposed, oh snap, they may just be opening up to you. Some even think that you are essentially available when you hold your right wrist in your left hand. But when you hold your left wrist in your right hand, you could be hostile. Expose your neck and wrists with caution. Who knows, maybe your Prince Charming will jump out of the shadows and snatch your vulnerability.
6. Resemble Your Date’s Gestures
If you want your partner to like you, it’s important to stay true to yourself. But mimicking your partner’s gestures may just show them you’re interested in them. When we unconsciously mirror another person’s movements or gestures, this is called the chameleon effect. It has been explored in several studies and basically, people like people who are like themselves. When we like someone, we may start adopting a few of their gestures unconsciously. So if you can’t tell if your partner is interested, see if they’re adopting some of your gestures. And if you are mimicking their gestures, they may not be able to resist themselves.
