We can't always alter our body language but it is true that people can sense how we're feeling because of it.
With this in mind, it's always best to try and present yourself in the best way possible!
Posture is incredible important. You don't want to be slumped all over the table but you don't want to be stiff as a board.
You want to strike that nice balance that makes you look open and interested yet relaxed.
One thing you don't want to do is fold your arms. This makes you look closed off and almost inaccessible.
To combat this, simply rest your hands within one another with a relaxed yet posed stance.
Don't slouch, but don't be sitting board stiff either - find a comfortable happy medium. If you feel relaxed then you'll looked relaxed!
An easy way for women to do this is to keep your shoulders back. You don't need to go the whole hog and push your boobs out across the table, which looks unnatural!
Another way to improve your body language is eye contact. Always keep eye contact with your date when they're talking to you.
It shows that you are interested in what they have to say and you'll find that you sink into the conversation much better.
This is also a way of helping your posture too. You'll find that the deeper in coversation you become, the more you seem to lean closer to them.
Your body will relax into the situation and you won't be sat board-upright looking completely unnatural.
It will also help you stop slumping back into your chair which is a bonus!
If you're having a good date then all this should fall into place, but use these tips to beat the first date nerves and you'll be well on your way to success.
