His lips may say one thing, and his body another. Which do you trust? His body language, of course. Its unconscious; it doesnt lie. Oh Body! The Things You Do is an innovative, informative, witty, and easy-to-read, dating tool. Within minutes of reading this book, you can begin to interpret your dates body language.
