Does mirroring body language really mean someone likes you?
12
One of the other threads just made me think a bit. Someone said they thought a girl liked them because he had seen her mirroring his body language. How much do you guys think that you can take body language as a reliable indicator of someone's feelings towards you? Someone I know mirrors my body language a lot so frankly i'd be quite chuffed and flattered if it turned it it means he likes me 
but I take that kind of thing with a hefty pinch of salt. Also - I don't want to become too obsessed with checking out people's body language!

No.
...and certainly not if that's the only "sign" you're given.

Rofl.
Anyway. In answer the the original question. I think it is a big factor in flirting and such. Unless the girl/guy isn't into moving around much...
Eye contact, the looking from eyes to mouth thing, crossed legs pointing at you, laughing hysterically at everything you say, leaning towards you, playing with their hair (not always). There are too many to list.
If you become a pro at body language you'll make your life alot easier and not just with relationships.
That's my opinion anyway. Of course not everyone does all of these in every situation, maybe one or two. Some voluntary, most not.

If i remember correctly mirrored body language is just a way of fitting in. People do it all the time if you look.
People tend to do it alot more around people they have just met.

Apparently mirroring someones body language is a good way to make someone fall in love with you. Heard that from various sources.

Mirroring. This is what separates a good flirt from a great flirt: nothing will bond you more effectively than mirroring someone's behaviour. This simply means you do whatever it is they do. If they lean forward to tell you something intimate, you lean in to meet them. If they sit back to take a sip of their drink and look you in the eye, you pause then follow suit.
The theory behind mirroring is that we like people who are like us. If someone is doing what we're doing, we feel they're on the same level as us and in the same mood as we are.
There are two no-go areas with this one, though: firstly, only mirror positive body language; second, capture the spirit rather than mimicking them. As a general rule, wait around 50 seconds before following their gestures.
lol i got bored so i googled, this is off the BBC website.

Ah, so what you're saying is that its not a sign that someone is romantically interested in you but a good way to force someone to like you..subconsciously! I like it Lol that stuff off the BBC site is funny. I thought mirroring was something people did naturally when they liked each other but its actually giving tips on using mirroring as some kind of flirting weapon!

.....I've known about it for ages but never tried it. But now i'm at uni its time to bring out the big guns. Although its good advice not to copy them straight away. Then you'll just look a bit weird.
Edit: Woo 900th post.
