Ok, so I know I'm spamming you guys today but I was having a good look at the photographs I took of Stevie and Xabi together at the Marseille game last week and I started remembering this course I did on body language once, and so I went and dug out my notes.
The thing is, once you start looking for it you can see they are both giving off incredible subconscious signals that they really do fancy the pants off each other. I hope you don't mind me re-posting some of these pics (there's a couple of new ones I didn't post the first time) but I wanted to show you exactly what I meant!!
Ok, so first of all have a look at Xabi's right hand and where his finger is pointing. Yes, that's right, he's pointing to his crotch! Believe it or not, he's subconsciously saying, "Hey Stevie, look at my cock. If you want it, it's yours."
He's still pointing down there, although with his thumb now. Apparently this is a very strong sign that you're sexually attracted to someone, even more so than pointing with your fingers. The equivalent in 'normal' clothing would be if a man was looking at you and he hooked his thumb through his belt loops and it pointed towards his crotch. It's like he's saying "I really fancy you!"
As Xabi approaches him, Stevie 'displays' himself by putting his hands on his hips and parting his legs. It's a very flirty, sexy gesture and is a very 'open' position - he's inviting Xabi to come closer and wanting him to notice how sexually attractive he is. He's showing himself off!
As Xabi gets nearer, Stevie extends his leg, making the space between his thighs even wider. This is obviously very inviting in sexual terms. His toe is pointing towards Xabi, another classic sign that you're attracted to someone. People in love tend to keep themselves pointed towards the object of their desire.
Woah! This is called invading someone's personal space, except that Stevie doesn't feel threatened in the slightest even though Xabi is way too close. (Coming closer than 20 inches is considered an 'invasion'!) Stevie's perfectly comfortable having this man so close to him, even though it is in a very public place so it's very obvious that he's used to it. Xabi's knee is pointing towards Stevie and you know what we said before about the pointing!
Now Xabi also displays himself by putting his hands on his hips. His hips are thrust forward (you don't need me to tell you the meaning of that!) Stevie reacts by touching his eye, which apparently means "You're so gorgeous you're dazzling me!"
They're mirroring each other here - classic sign of mutual attraction! Look at the intense expression on Xabi's face too. This is not just a work relationship!
Even when they move apart and go back to work, they're still mirroring each other's positions and movements. It's so obvious how very in tune they are with each other's bodies.
Still mirroring but with a major difference. Xabi's legs are parted and just look where his fingers are pointing. Yes, that's right - to his arse. Stevie's, however, are pointing around to the front of his body. Hmm, I wonder what's being suggested here? A post-match actvity maybe?
Yep, mirroring again. These two do this constantly, often whilst maintaining eye contact for over 30 seconds or so which is unusual, unless you are in a close and loving relationship.
This was one I didn't post because it was blurry, and I know I keep going on about the mirroring thing, but it's so obvious here.
The hug. And what a hug! No wonder Dirk's eyes are popping out. This is definitely a lovers' hug. Stevie's arms are totally wrapped around Xabi and their bodies fit snugly together. It's obvious that they're used to such close contact. There's no awkwardness. Xabi is perfectly at ease having Stevie's body wrapped around his like this, just as he is at having Stevie's mouth so close to his neck or maybe even on it! Your neck is classed as a very vulnerable part of your body and it's a sign that you totally trust someone if you allow them this close to it.
Another one I didn't post because it was blurry, but it shows the power of Stevie's hug in that he nearly pulls Xabi on top of him!
Ok, now over to you! Let me know what you think!!
