What does it mean when people say a girl will mirror you if she likes you?

[doctorwhofan23]

What does this mean and why would girls do this?

It means that if you do something she will do the same or similar. It isn't really something people notice they are doing, they just do it. I believe I was told it's because the person is comfortable with the other person so the body starts to copy it. So let's say you lean back in your chair, she may do the same. Or you sip your drink, she may also sip her drink. You smile, she smiles. You push a chair forward, she pushes it forward. You walk fast, she keeps to your pace. You look left, she looks left. You get the idea.

Idk why but guys do it too-it's just natural I think-i do it without realising lol and then I feel stupid for mirroring someone-just the way they're standing or sitting etc.

The person starts following your movements and gestures (so it's like looking in mirror). This sort of syncing is pretty common in people who find one another attractive. A few other clues are meets your eyes, laughs, preens (adjusts clothing, hair to be more attractive). turns her core body toward you (nipples and navel pointed directly at you), stands closer than most people do, isn't crossing her legs or arms. begins kissing you.

It means they mimic your posture, tone of voice, or body language.

You lean forward, and they lean forward. You cross your legs, they cross their legs.

Why do they do this then?

[HenryCow]

It's often unconscious ... we do it as a reflex when we're clicking with someone.

Less often, people do it deliberately to try making that sense of attraction or closeness.
