| Re: how reliable is body language?
the only way you will know is to observe him with other people.....
some body language may be able to be faked, sure, if you know what you're doing, but not all can....for instance, you can usually tell a real smile from a fake one, but in the instance of wanting to appear interested and open the body can be adjusted to that, just like if you want to appear closed minded or opposed to something you can cross your arms. no one would know that was faking, that would kinda be manipulation, but I'm sure there are people who work it......but it's not as easy to fake a genuine smile. You look at the eyes, and also how quick the mouth moves back to it's original position. Also look at the pupils. If someone is really into you their pupils will be big. It's an unconcious reaction the body has....when it see's something it likes it opens the pupils up wide to take more of it in.
