ABSTRACT

The first sign that Fred is interested might well be that he leans forward slightly. His legs might be crossed, but this won’t mean he’s not interested unless his arms are crossed as well. Remember – it’s the combination of what people do with the different parts of their body that is important in reading body language. The same applies to facial expressions. If Fred has a frown of concentration you might take this to mean that he’s not interested. You need to look at his face as a whole, and see that his expression is generally open, to get a true picture of what he’s feeling.
