If only I could read body language easily...

...life would be so much easier.

Nothing like going on a date and having nooo idea if she likes you or not.

then study body language. Just go out and watch people. If you don't learn that way then there are books and youtube videos explaining body language. It isn't that hard to learn.

The main positive signs are flipping or playing with hair, scratching their arms or hands, walking a little behind you, smiling of course, it is really quite obvious.

I notice body language, I just don't trust my interpretation of it. People can use body language to intentionally mislead after all.

then you will notice another part of their body indicating that they are lying. Most Humans aren't aware of all of the processes that are going on in their own consciousness so unconscious mannerisms are always being shown. I, however, have complete control over myself and everyone in the room for that matter.

Well, something I found out is that people don't seem to realize they have this "other language." What I mean is that they do it so reflexively, they've no idea they're sending more information that what they're just saying. When I've talked to a few people about my condition, they say, "Oh everyone isn't able to do that," but it's more of a reading between the lines as opposed to just seeing/hearing what's going one. I'd recommend you check out the series "Lie To Me," as it's about a guy who helps other businesses (or people with personal matters) solve the issues through human "micro-expressions" (ie, facial expressions/body language). They have a few episodes of it on www.hulu.com.

As I've gotten older, I've started picking up on body language. That's how I landed my last girlfriend.

reading body language is a pain in the neck because so much of it is ambiguous. I'd rather people came out and said stuff.

Half the time I feel like the cat that was pushed away from the person who either hates cats or is allergic.
