YOUR COUPLE BODY LANGUAGE SAYS A TON ABOUT YOUR BOND.LEARN TO DECIPHER THOSE CARESSES AND CANOODLES.
Talk is cheap.Body language experts agree that more than 90% of communication between couples is non-verbal.So learning to decode your touchy - feely moments enables you to decipher your duo dynamic."That's why people who are adept at reading body language are often more successful in relationships, "says Jan Hargrave, a body language expert and author of Let Me See Your Body Talk."They don't need to wait for confirmation of their partner's feelings because they can see it."So from grand gestures to teeny moves, here's what your intimate acts mean.
1)THE CUP n SMOOCH
>this is no token kiss."cupping your partner's face in your hands is a sign of strong feelings",says David B. Givens,Ph.D,director of the Center for Non-verbal Studies in Spokane."it's not not some thing you decide to do;it just happens with an outpouring emotion".often experienced in private, this sexy smooch style is an ultra-romantic way to connect and tune out the world.
2)THE HAIR STRUM
>the ultimate melting moment:when your guy sweeps a strand off your face with an adoring gaze fixed on you."when this is done in public,it's a declaration of your togetherness",says Hargrave."in private, it's away to say silently,'i want to take care of you'".ditto when you run your digits through his strands.why?this affectionate move stems back to evolution.many primates care for each other by tending to each other 's fur,so stroking your lover's locks is an instinctual way to show fondnesS.
3)THE BUTT PINCH
>"the playful ass-pect of love....
>maybe you sneak a handful of your guy's ass as you pass him at a party or he walks by and gives you a loving ass pat."couples who use this flirtatious move know how to get each other 's attention in a sexy way",says Sandra Caron, Ph.D.,professor of family relations and human sexuality at the University of of Maine.it's a spontaneous,playful gesture that says"hey,remember me?"the teasing aspect of this tweak shows confidence in the other 's feelings--not only are you both secure enough to boldly ask for a little sugar when you want it,but you're also positive that your lusty request will be fulfilled.but if your butt grabbing is to mark your territory(as in "he's mine,hands off"),the move suggests a needy dynamic in the relationship.
4)THE PALM PILOT
>to all you hand-holding lovebirds,you've probably noticed that your paw positions switch between interlocking digits and going palm to palm.but if you thought it was a random,nuh-uh.it has to do with the type of emotional vibe you want to send each other at that moment."interlocked fingers usually mean you're both feeling intensely intimate"says Hargrave."for instance,its a popular post-coital gesture".however,if you're a joined-at-the-hip type of couple,then this kind of grip can imply that your super intense bond is slipping from romance into the co-dependence zone.meanwhile,the palm-to-palm handhold is more easygoing and signals a relaxed feeling of contentment between you two.
5)THE SIAMESE
>a maximum security move
>stride strolling down the street together,arm in arm,signals a harmony between you."when you walk together with your arms linked around each other 's waist,it can indicate that you're not just lovers but good friends too"says Hargrave.this is your way of facing the world as united pair.and as an added bonus,you're not only comfortable in the relationship,but according to Givens,you also possess real trust.
6)THE LAP SITTER
>this move is the way couples stake their claim on each other and advertise their togetherness(just in case the chick at the bar thinks she has a chance)--whether he pulls you onto him or you initiate the love seat."in the beginning of a relationship,lap sitting is one of the first signs that you're getting close",says Givens."and as your bond develops,it can become a way to mark your territory".a popular style of lap sitting is the seat belt ,in w/c you take a load off on your sweetie and then he wraps his arms around you nice and tight.this may be an indication that one of you isn't totally secure in the relationship yet,notes Hargrave.then again,it could just be that you wanted to feel your bodies pressed up against each other.only you two know the truth.
7)THE THIGH RUB
>hopes for action later
>this sexy under-the=table stroke is a form of sneaky public foreplay and a sign that your bond is very passionate.done on the down low,running your fingertips along your man's gams mostly signals that you're feeling a little lusty and wouldn't mind some one-on-one attention later on.plus,it enables you to gauge if he's felling frisky too."if the person who's being stroked on the thigh turns inward toward their partner or the girl crosses her leg over the guy' hand,that a clear signal that you're on the same page"says Mary Dawne Arden,a professor in the culture and communication department at New York University.of course,this is also a move used by couples to draw a wandering eye back to the fold.if you've been batting eyelashes at a hunky bartender or he's just a tad too mesmerized by another girl's cleavage,a sensual thigh caress is a way to remond each other who you're going home with....without throwing a tantrum.
