But just as you said I really feel attracted to someone who touches me when we have just met but that also makes me feel more confident to other people.

I'm a real goof when it comes to that, always hoping there was a good reason. But it's true, if they come later than that then they probably just don't respect you. Especially in this age of mobile communication. I don't mind waiting, but at least let the person know how much longer it'll take. Good point about waiting only 15 minutes for someone.

Most people wears their expression on their face, be it happy, sad or anger. So, we can actually interpret them sometimes.

I have found that some people do rely eg on the speed of speech to establish rapport. For example, someone can be relaxed when you speak slowly, but get all stressed the moment (literally) you speak faster. It would be good exercise to get someone to give feedback (or watch your own, or just be aware) of your own facial expression when interacting with someone - you could learn a lot about your own habits!

Your personality and your life's circumstances are reflected in your hairstyle. It portrays your priorities as well. You'll see a lot of young mother's that have a "Mom" hairstyle because they are so busy looking after their young children that they don't have time to spend on themselves.

I also didn't realise there were so many components to body language. I do know that copying the actions of the other person shows an interest in what they are saying. However, it has to subtle otherwise it can be interpreted as taking the mickey. Student counsellors are taught this concept as a means of establishing rapport with their client. It is called mirroring. Good article. I also didn’t realise there were so many components to body language.

I consider myself useful at reading body language because I have to do it on a daily basis and there is a lot of really cool stuff in there. I cretainly wasn't aware of all the names. One note of caution and that is cultural differences. They can be huge and if you are dealing with people from the middle east, south east Asia or even South America I'd be tempted to throw any knowledge you have in the bin or risk making a muppet out of yourself. Also realise that about 30% of people break the norm even in our society, so start by benchmarking them before saying "Hah, I knew you were lying you just scratched your nose" "But, I just had an itch" "Get out of my house and never darken my doorstep again you mendatious git!" to your mother-in-law Just thought I'd mention that ;-) Great stuff Steve.

And I think through the body language of a person you will know his/her personality partly. Thanks for sharing. :) Yeah, body language is considered as the oldest form of communication.
