Conversations

Without Words
It makes no difference how much time has
passed, five minutes or five hours, since the first
conversation. Your subconscious will have processed
much of the nonverbal information the two of you
exchanged. That makes it possible for you to see
more clearly what the other person is saying during
later conversations
During the second conversation, stronger signals
are exchanged as the man continues his effort to
persuade and the woman continues her effort to de-
termine his worthiness. Many of the gestures and
signs from the first conversation are used but new
ones are added. Some signals are so important, they
are repeated here.
Nearly all of these signals apply to both men and
women. However, this chapter is written as though
the woman is sending and the man receiving.

KEEPS EYES ON YOU

During conversation, the other person is focused

on you, not looking around the room, at the dancers

on the floor, the band or at anything other than you.

Reliable if accompanied by other signs of interest.

HEAD TILTS FARTHER

A tilted head usually indicates interest but it also

can mean the person is curious. When the person's

head tilts even more, it indicates even more interest

or curiosity.

REMOVES EYEGLASSES Usually means the person

is lowering the barrier that prevents you from looking

deeply into the windows of their soul. Similar but

stronger than lowering a drink held up as a barrier.

However, it can indicate a refusal to "see" you or what

you are saying. Notice the open hands with palms up

gesture. This indicates sincerity and openness.
