Five scientific physical signs your first date is going well!

I discovered that there are 5 body language signs your first date is going well, according to some positively nerdy researchers.

I’m always looking for new ways to figure out attraction on First dates, and upon my research, I found something new! There are basically some key signs that you can track on every first date to make sure you know it’s going to work out without you even having to ask! Apparently, they’re so easy to spot you can notice them within the first two minutes! At least, that’s what the Hebrew University of Jerusalem attests to anyways.

Body language plays a crucial role in the dating world, especially on a first date. A lot can be said without ever uttering a word, and the way you carry yourself can make all the difference in how the date goes.

According to a study by Dr. Albert Mehrabian, nonverbal communication accounts for 55% of our overall communication. So, even if you’re saying the right things, if your body language doesn’t match, it could be a deal-breaker, which is honestly very scary when you think about it.
