Ever notice a certain male (or female) finding someone else attractive? At times it's a simple glance or smile, maybe even a friendly conversation and other times... well other times it's just disgusting.
It can start with smothering or being too upfront. Perhaps you think you're speaking normally, calm, and collected yet your surrounding public (now audience) feels differently. You're ranting and nervous, hyper yet not genuinely energetic; you seem desperate. Not giving the person you're interested room to talk or space to breathe looks like you haven't had an encounter with the opposite sex in ages (and maybe you haven't) and you certainly won't get another one if that continues into a habit. Learn to give an arm length AT LEAST of space. Close enough to hear one another but not so close they feel claustrophobic.
Some people are also too sexual. There's nothing wrong with having a sense of self and feeling sexy, but when it crosses the line to looking like a sex addict trying to score, you definitely aren't viewed as sexy, but more like you belong in a brothel. Yet we all know it's not just manners and body language that can ruin an impression on a "potential date", it's also the way one dresses. Your attire is KEY in ANY first impression. It shows your mood, outlook, sense of class, and even organizational skills all in the form of fashion you use.
Men, wearing worn jeans or ripped shirts is only hot if you're working on a car or mowing the lawn not going out to "chill". Dress occasion appropriate ALWAYS. Women, stop wearing over revealing clothes. A sexy-conservative look leaves enough to the imagination, while not leaving everything to the naked eye. All in all, dress occasion appropriate ALWAYS.
How To Avoid Looking Desperate
3. Try to look like you are doing something. Or, try to actually do something. Do not get caught staring at them for long periods of time. You can look desperate that way as well as seem a little creepy.
4. No stalking!!! If you listen to one thing out of all of these it is this one. They could become afraid of you and they probably will never even want to talk to you let alone like you.
