Body Language & Non Verbal Communication - *Spoilers*

His pupils are huge, which is generally a sign of sexual attraction. She is a rapid blinker normally but her eyelids are really fluttering and her cheeks are really flushed, which both can be nonverbal cues of affection/attraction. They are also mirroring both each other's physical posture (lean in on the table) as well as other's speech patterns.

I thought it was funny/interesting that when he asked her what she thought about going to the Fantasy Suite, his mood was light and he was smiling. I think that changed once Deanna responded. She was much more intense and the look in her eye was much more of a "grrrr (I want you)" type of look and response. His whole demeanor changed. First of all he looks much more intense, serious and like he really wants to get out of there. Also I am not sure why, but it was like he was ticking- his shoulder hunched (not sure if that is the right descriptor) a couple of times and he never broke eye contact with her.

Yeah, there was a whole world of non verbal communication occuring between them.

Nice to meet you appiah01.

DeAnna is one special lady with or without Brad picking his choice for her to be in his future. It would be his loss. At this point watching him, I think he is in so deep with her, that he may be doubting his own emtions and he could feel this strongly with her and that she feels so strongly towards him. yes really brad, it is true.

I agree they just converse with there eyes. During the FD the emotions ran much deeper then at other times. During the pool party, they communicated as well but it was lighter. The but comment and Brad saying do not get me started. We just know they have discussed so much stuff. They must have blast laughing with each other.

Brad told DeAnna I will give you roses as long as you want to stay. the other direct quote I have strong and true connection with on the 2 on 1 date.

Both times, I think he was trying to reassuring her to hang in there with the process.

Interesting.

They were in a mexican resturant, enjoying it all as if they were on their honeymoon with nothing from Fleiss there. When is the feast of the dead or whatever it is called?

Did the rose petals make up for minimal candles that were there. I felt that their table setting was traditional, plain and not overly cluttered, that way they can concentrate on each other.

Incidentally biting one's lip can also be construed as exhibiting self restraint (see The Book of Tells by Stephen Collett- yeah, I'm a bit of a nerd). Brad could have been holding back actually verbally responding to Deanna's confession. The lip bite coupled with the smile which followed indicates how pleased Brad was.

I liked the lip bite, and then he goes hum at some point he was blushing or his face was read when DeAnna was talking to him.

Also Brad swallowed really hard when DeAnna said she I will be looking you out of love.

Most intresting about the book. I think a must read for any Bachelor fan that wants to slueth. My fear, is that soon they will all be required to act more. stop move head shoot stop move an inch eyes to the left shoot stop etc.

That's very true. I called the overall scene giddy with excitement but you could also call it a kind of gushing restraint.

It's funny taking part in all of this because I have been told many times that I am very hard to read...LOL I, honestly, don't think I am because I notice tendancies about myself that, if someone was looking intently, they would see them too. For example, I tend to wring my hands, intertwine my fingers, when I'm shy and nervous around someone and, even though I know I do this, and I'm conscious about it, I still do it without thinking sometimes.

Oh, and hey, as my 14 year old daughter says to me, when I say something like, "well, what can I say, I'm a nerd," her response is, "Nerds Rock!" I agree with her.

Just out of curiousity, how do you think that Brad's brothers/partners and family feel watching last week's show? Really strange to see your friend, brother, son, grandson, on these intimate dates

And how would you feel knowing your grandmother was watching you kiss three girls Or guys watching a guyfriend kiss girls

Dio de los Muertos {Day of the Dead} is in November, and the skeleton figurines are common to use for the celebration. It would be in keeping with the Mexican restaurant to have those type of figures as decor.

Chad: "Aw, that lucky dog."
Wes: "Go for it man!"


Grandma: "He'd better call me quick because he wasn't raised that way. What a shame to behave like that, in front of *everyone*!"

That was what I was trying to explain to somebody new on another thread who was questioning the way that Brad was acting on the bed with Jenni. Considering the remark that he made about his grandma and the NO FRICKI FRICKI, I think he felt awkward in what he thought might have been a really suggestive, intimate position. Although he has had zero trouble kissing any of them under any other circumstances, I think he would have reacted in the same way on the bed with any of them as he did with Jenni. However, I do wonder if there is a reason why we saw that particular behavior edited in with Jenni as opposed to the others for a particular reason as it did make him look reluctant.
