What will be an ideal response?


Courtship readiness occurs when we are attracted to someone. We try to adjust our
image by sucking in our stomach, standing straighter, and tensing our muscles.
Preening behaviors occur when we begin to manipulate our appearance by
straightening our clothes, smoothing our hair, and double-checking our appearance.
Positional cues occur when we adjust our posture and orientation so as to be noticed.
We begin to move closer, lean into the other person, smiling and making eye contact.
Appeals to invitation are signals that communicate our availability by close proximity,
exposed skin, open body posture, and eye contact.
