How to Recognize Physical Attraction in a Crowded Restaurant

After I've sufficiently impressed a woman by inviting her to a popular restaurant on a first date, shouldn't my next goal be to make good conversation during the meal?

The problem with popular restaurants, however, is that they can be rather crowded and noisy places. How can I know if I am making a good impression on my first date with a woman when conversation has become so difficult?

To remedy this situation, I can call upon my knowledge of the signs of physical attraction. The signs of physical attraction can take place in the absence of conversation, and, because these signs are involuntary, they can speak volumes of information about the other person's feelings.

Direct Eye Contact

On a first date in a crowded restaurant, I might have decided to focus for a time on the meal before me since conversation has become an impossibility.

Yet, what happens when I look up? Is she looking directly at me and smiling? What a great sign of physical attraction!

Direct eye contact, as a sign of physical attraction, leads me to recognize that she is receptive to me as a person. She might not know me yet because this is a first date, but she is willing to know me.

Involuntary Movement of Limbs

Significantly, it is the involuntary nature of the signs of physical attraction that gives them meaning. In other words, if my date is trying to act nonchalant on a first date with me, I can still notice the involuntary movement of limbs which suggest physical attraction.

Again, it's not the conversation which is the determining factor in having a successful date in a crowded restaurant.

The involuntary movement of limbs, as they are part of some unconscious response, are a more reliable indicator of physical attraction.

Touching

As part of the physiological process of physical attraction, a person's skin become more sensitive.

Therefore, if I notice my date touching her hair, for example, I can recognize that she is experiencing a physical attraction to me.

In a crowded restaurant, no words are even necessary to see that a person is continually touching sensitive skin.

In conclusion, I might find it awkward to make conversation on a first date to begin with. And being in a crowded restaurant doesn't help matters.

But, by being able to recognize the signs of physical attraction, I find that good conversation isn't the only way for me to measure the success of a first date.

I can make use of the nonverbal signs of physical attraction to know if this first date is destined to be the only one or if it will be the start of something great.
