Overly tilted heads are either a potential sign of sympathy. Lowered heads indicate a reason to hide something. Take note if someone lowers their head. If it is when he is complimented, he may be shy, ashamed, timid, keeping distance from the other person, in disbelief, or thinking to himself. If it is after an explanation, then he may be unsure if what he said was correct. It should be noted that some cultures see this as a sign of respect. Cocked heads mean that they are confused or challenging our, depending on eye, eyebrow, and mouth gestures.
Liars will consecutively look at you and look away a number of times. However, some liars will make more eye contact than usual in an attempt to make you believe they are telling you the truth. This is called "Forced Eye Contact". People who look away while supposedly listening to you are thinking about something else. This is why when we are talking to a group of people, if an item in conversation strikes the one looking away, they will ask for we to repeat the story. We can usually tell if a person is remembering something or making something up based on their eye's movements. When someone is remembering details, their eyes move to the right (your right). When someone is making something up, their eyes move to the left. It's usually reversed for lefties. Some cultures believe that looking at someone in the eyes is a sign of disrespect.
People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is (slightly) reserved, uncomfortable with their weight (therefore trying to hide it), or just trying to hide something on their shirt. If someone rests their arms behind their neck, they are open to what is being discussed and interested in listening more. They may be waiting to state their opinion on the matter. Look at the location of their hands. If their hands are in their pockets, then they are more relaxed and are more likely to be attracted to you.
If someone brushes their hair back with their fingers, this may be preening, a common gesture if the person likes you, or their thoughts about something conflict with yours. They might not voice this. If you see raised eyebrows during this time, you can be pretty sure that they disagree with you. If the person wears glasses, and is constantly pushing them up onto their nose again, with a slight frown, that may also indicate they disagree with what you are saying. Look to make sure they push up their glasses with an intent, not casually adjusting them. Look for pushing on the rim with two fingers, or an extra motion of wiggling the side of their glasses. The frown or raised eyebrows should tip you off. If they are playing or fiddling with their hair (a girl may twirl a lock of her tresses around a finger), they are feeling self-conscious, flirting, or possibly uncomfortable. But don't take this as gospel; some people just need to fidget, and hair is readily available at any time. Old habits die hard. If someone is biting their lip, they are anticipating something or holding back. Or it could just be out of habit. Lowered eyebrows and squinted eyes illustrate an attempt at understanding what is being said or going on. It's usually skeptical. (Or maybe they have a problem seeing things eg short-sightedness, astigmatism...)
A fast tapping, shifting of weight, or movement of the foot will most often mean that the person is impatient, excited, nervous, scared, or intimidated. Slowly shifting weight usually means that someone is distracted, uncomfortable, or bored.
