text: how would you say ”i love you” using body language only? :)))? body language comprises gesture, stance, and facial expression. these are all the more important when all eyes of a listener are upon you. when you are presenting, strong, positive body language becomes an essential tool in helping you build credibility, express your emotions, and connect with your listener. it also helps your listener to focus more intently on you and what you're saying. the tricky thing about body language is that we are usually unaware of the message the body language speaker is conveying nonverbally. in bulgaria, for instance,  people actually shake their heads "no" when they mean "yes." so be aware that the interpretation of body language is often ambiguous and equivocal. i've never told my man: i love you! it doesn't mean i don't but it's just... well i don't know! one day, we were at the restaurant with two friends and our song just aired as the background music and i started looking at him as if nothing else existed. i took his hand as if we were alone at the table and i just fell into his eyes. i mean that might seem cheesy, but it's very true. he told me he understood that day!! ;)
