Can’t tell if she’s into you? Look down below: “The legs and feet are one of the last body parts that we consciously control, so they give us invaluable information about what someone is really thinking, their attitudes, and how they feel,” says Katia Loisel, an Australian-based dating and body language expert and the author of How To Get The Man You Want, How To Get The Woman You Want.
What it tells you: This is perhaps the most promising indicator of her overall personality: “This stance is adopted by high achievers worldwide and indicates confidence and openness to new encounters,” Loisel explains. Plus, it’s more likely to be adopted by extroverts. Studies have also shown that because this stance highlights a woman’s hips and waist, it makes her more attractive—a fact she probably knows and is using on purpose: “Women have learned to consciously adopt poses that attract attention and accentuate their assets, which is why you’ll see models adopting this pose of confidence and attractiveness in magazines,” Loisel adds.
What it tells you: “The leg twine is the most common leg position women use to indicate their interest in a guy,” Loisel says. When a woman crosses one knee over the other, it shows off her muscle tone and allows her to get closer to you. “Slow, purposeful crossing and uncrossing of the legs is a game of peek-a-boo and classic courtship technique used to draw attention to her legs and signal interest.”
Her stance: Pigeon-toed
What it tells you: If her knees and feet are turned in, it’s often a sign she’s introverted, insecure, or closed off both physically and emotionally, Loisel says. But some people are just naturally pigeon-toed, so be sure to look for other clues before jumping to conclusions: If she has limited eye contact and closed body language, like arms crossed and hunched shoulders, it’s pretty safe to assume her turned-in toes are a red flag.
Her stance: Feet turned at a 45 degree angle
What it tells you: Your stance not only shows who you’re keen on, but also whether you want to invite other people into the conversation. “Standing with both feet directly facing the person they are speaking to suggests that they are fully focused on the conversation,” says Loisel. On the other hand, standing with one foot facing the person and the other pointing outward indicates that while she likes what you’re saying, she’s also looking for others to join in. And while this sounds like she doesn’t want alone time with you, it is also a great indicator that she is open, approachable, and excited to interact with you among her or your friends, Loisel says.
