A Failed Body Language Test

“One of the most memorable examples of a body language “failed test” that I saw, was 2 people dancing (not slow/close dancing). She was dancing far enough away from him to be exhibiting “keep your distance” signals. Suddenly out of the blue the guy got the urge to become Clark Gable or some relic 1940’s movie star and become amorous.

He reached out and clasped her head in his hands like a basketball player man handles a basketball, takes a huge step forward and starts sucking on her face! (there’s no way in hell I could begin to adequately describe this scene, all I can say was it was like watching a time warp back to some 1940’s ridiculous movie where the actor was SUPPOSED to overcome a timid/sexually repressed female, kiss her til she subdued and then OF COURSE as we all know eh girls? *wink* ...this action somehow magically made us fall madly hopelessly in love with the he-man ;))

She was aghast! She was fighting to pull away and get his lips off her mouth. Watching this, I was struck by the absurdity. He wasn’t watching for “go ahead” signals. He was solely acting on his own primal urges. I somehow doubt that this was the first faux-pas that he made and probably wasn’t his last.”

Some great advice on reading female nonverbal signals.
