How does the person you like behave? Can you figure it out by observing gestures and body language?
Of course! Psychologists explain what you need to pay attention to in order to gain instant confidence.
Is love just chemistry and nothing more? Some people see this beautiful state exactly like that.
Others seek something more in love, a spiritual dialogue, a mystical connection, or even destiny. But certain neurochemical processes that accompany falling in love cannot be ignored.
This applies to both that first spark and to later stages of the development of feelings. In a person who has "caught the love virus," the brain begins to secrete oxytocin and vasopressin - hormones that stimulate the reward mechanism in our body.
At the same time, we feel motivated to take action and our energy levels increase due to increased dopamine levels.
Meanwhile, the decrease in serotonin levels allows lovers to forget about such worldly problems as hunger.
According to a 2000 study, it takes an average of 97 days for men to fall in love, while it takes women 137. But before that can happen, we have to be attracted to each other. Can we tell from the first meeting whether we like someone? Yes.
There are certain signs that psychologists consider to be unambiguous signals.
The first sign we can pay attention to is dilated pupils. This is easy to interpret because no one can consciously control the size of their pupils.
Another sign of attraction to another person is the desire for physical contact, touching, lightly rubbing your hand against your palm.
A person who finds you attractive smiles often when talking to you, appreciates your jokes. Even the weak ones. This is not insincerity - they actually amuse him because of the chemical confusion in his mind.
If the person you are spending time with speaks in a lower voice than usual, it is also a sign that they find you attractive. Evolutionarily, we believe that a lower voice is more attractive to a potential partner and mate.
Adopting similar poses. When someone likes you, they tend to mimic your body language. This mirroring of poses, gestures is a sure signal.
If your partner wants to share with you every story that comes to mind, feels like "you can't talk to each other," and sometimes even talks nonsense, this is a subconscious sign that he or she really wants to be as close to you as possible.
If you observe these signs in other people, you can be sure that the other person is very interested in establishing a closer relationship.
