Some body language signs that a first date went well include leaning in closer to you when you’re talking, angling or facing their body toward you, mirroring your body language, maintaining eye contact, smiling a lot, or finding excuses to casually touch your arm or hand.

If someone is facing you with their belly button, or if they're mirroring you—like, you have your hand on your chin, and you look across the table and the person you're on a date with has their hands on their chin—there's a good chance they're feeling connected to you.

Generally speaking, a girl will stand closer to you and will have more relaxed body language if she feels comfortable around you (relaxed shoulders, not crossing her arms, etc).
