Meeting potential romantic interests can be flirty and exciting, but it can also make you feel anxious and insecure so its easy to get in your head.

You might be the type of person who stresses about every minute detail of your appearance, personality and turns of phrase. But why waste energy worrying about things your date probably wont pick up on, let alone care about, anyway?

Below, dating experts and daters reveal the things your date is likely and unlikely to notice right off the bat. Read on for their thoughts:

1. Your body language.

According to dating coach Damona Hoffman , the way you position your body will signal to your date whether youre interested in them or not.

Usually someone will turn their hips towards someone they like, lean in when they are talking and look for opportunities to touch them in casual zones, Hoffman, author of F the Fairy Tale: Rewrite the Dating Myths and Live Your Own Love Story, told HuffPost.

Posture is also something your date will take notice of. Are you standing up straight with your head held high or are you slumped over with your head hanging down?

The former signals confidence, the latter lack thereof, and confidence is all-important when making a great first impression with someone new, dating coach Blaine Anderson told HuffPost. To have better posture, by the way, dont just pull your shoulders back. Youll look unnatural. Engage your glutes and core more when youre standing and seated everything else falls into place when you do this.
