- Make eye contact. When we look directly at someone, it's as if we could see inside the other. Don't stare, just look from eye to eye and then to the bridge of the nose. When you're flirting, bring that look down to the person's mouth and linger there. If you're sitting together in a restaurant and his eyes are following every woman who walks by instead of looking at you, chances are that dessert won't be too sweet.
- Mirror the other person. When he leans forward to talk to you, lean in towards him. When he leans back, pause for a minute, then do the same.
- Don't invade another's personal space - keep that foot and a half distance when you're first getting to know each other. Our comfort zone is farther apart here in the U.S. than in other parts of the world.
- Watch arms and hands. Open hand palms, uncrossed arms, and non-threatening touch communicate without the use of speech. If he's got your arms crossed over his chest while you're talking to him, then he's not very receptive to you. If he shrugs off your hand when you reach for his, it's a warning sign.
- Smile. It's the most important way to signal your openness. If you have stopped greeting each other with a smile and a hug, no words are necessary to know the closeness is gone.

Deborah's Story: Deborah was a successful corporate attorney when she was diagnosed in her twenties with cancer that sent her on a search for truth that would radically change her life.
