Transcript:How to Show Love Through Body Language

Hi, Juan Aldape here for About.com. Today we're demonstrating ways to show love through body language, using examples from About.com's Dating site.

Whether you're getting ready to move your relationship to the next level or just wanting a refresher for your already long-lasting relationship, here are some visual examples of body language that send signals of love.

Use Touch to Show Love

Communicating through touch is one of the most important ways to show love. When in conversation, prevent yourself from performing defensive postures, such as arm-crossing, and leg-crossing. Instead opt for open and relaxed gestures. Brush his or her forearms gently and softly to show support, intimacy, and compassion. Be aware of these small gestures and make sure to reciprocate when you see you partner doing them.

Look Into Each Other's Eyes to Show Love

To convey honesty, commitment and comfort, when you're talking look directly into your partners eyes with a soft gaze for a couple of seconds.

Consider Appearance to Show Love

Your choice of color, clothing, hairstyles, and other factors affecting appearance are also considered a means of nonverbal communication. Wear an article of clothing in his or her favorite color to demonstrate physical attraction and to cultivate healthy passion. With these practical tips, you are ready for a loving relationship.
