1. A person’s eyes dilate strongly when they are in a problem-solving mode and very stimulated. At maximum dilation, the person is ready to make a decision which is more likely to be positive than negative.
2. An eyebrow raise is a sign that a person is not threatening. When you eye brow raise someone, they will often smile. This is a very submissive sign or at least is perceived that way.
3. The first person to look away in an introduction is the more submissive.
