A body language expert has revealed the signs you're giving someone the 'ick' - including them leaning away from you and folding their arms. <br /><br />Adrianne Carter, 53, suggests a date can show they aren't interested in you - or you're turning them off - by folding your arms or making distance between you both.<br /><br />She even suggests they might move an object, like a menu, in front of them - to create a barrier if they're not interested. <br /><br />Adrianne says a date might be going well and they're likely to fancy you if they hold eye contact, lean towards you, raise their eyebrows or roll their sleeves up. <br /><br />Adrianne, from Lichfield, Staffordshire, said: "A really simple rule for dates is when someone is leaning in - getting closer to you - it's probably going well. <br /><br />"Generally when someone is giving you the ick you will be scrunching up your nose slightly.<br /><br /> "When someone doesn't like someone or has the ick, you will see that nose wrinkling of disgust.<br /><br />"There will be lots of those expressions but short flashes of them, it won't be obvious but if you look for the signs it will be there.<br /><br />"When we are interested in someone we lean in.<br /><br />"If someone doesn't like you or doesn't fancy you they are more likely to make more space between you and them.<br /><br />"Also use it as a warning from your body. If I lean back I am not interested in them - your body will always tell you."<br /><br />Another tell-tale sign a date is going well is good eye contact, but not too much.<br /><br />Adrianna said: "Creating lasting eye contact is important, the ideal time seems to be 60 to 70 per cent eye contact.<br /><br />"If you do more that can become too intense and aggressive, it comes across a bit needy like you are waiting for a reaction."<br /><br />The expert said that some people do 'peacocking' - where someone wears or does something to get noticed - on a date to get the person attention or show they are interested.<br /><br />Adrianne said: "This is when people start messing with their hair, they are pouring attention to it.<br /><br />"They are trying to grab your attention, if they are flicking or flickering with their hair it is a sign they want to look good for you and they want you to notice.<br /><br />"Some men roll their sleeves up - when he rolls his sleeves up, he wants you to see his forearms to show his strength.<br /><br />"If he rolls his sleeves up he is interested and ready for action - it is the same with women."<br /><br />Adrianne says people will put up barriers - by either folding their arms or putting objects in front of them.<br /><br />She said: "We sometimes put barriers in front of ourselves.<br /><br />"If you are on a date, they might move something in front of them or, I hate to say it, cross their arms but some people do it for comfort.<br /><br />"I have a simple rule of thumb - open facial expression, open-minded, open body language, they are interested."<br /><br />Adrianne claims another sign that someone is interested in you is if they might flash their eyebrows.<br /><br />She said: "If you want to know if someone likes you and they’re not giving you constant eye contact – watch for this. <br /><br />“A double eye flash is where someone looks away, looks again and looks again.<br /><br />“It is very revealing, it means the person is interested.<br /><br />"The eyebrow flash is not just for dating - you will see it throughout your life.<br /><br />"If someone is interested in what you have to say they will often do an eyebrow flash with a little smile."
