Boy meets girl is the oldest tale in history. The courtship drama occurs in all societies, human and otherwise, and has a vocabulary – both silent and spoken – all its own. We transmit physical signals to show interest in or aversion to others. Behaviors like head tilting, lip tightening, and hair twirling are all courtship cues that can be found throughout the world.

The following quiz is based on researchers’ observation of hundreds of men and women interacting in a variety of settings.
