Body language comes in clusters of signals and postures, depending on the internal emotions and mental states. Recognizing a whole cluster is thus far more reliable than trying to interpret individual elements.
This following website categorizes different body language clusters:

The most common body language is the smile. It has many different meanings, depending on the situation, but it's usually a positive meaning.

If individuals are seated and they cross their legs, if the cross the leg so it is turned toward someone they are feeling comfortable and open to that person. If someone turns their leg in the other direction they are closed to feeling comfortable or angry at that person. If someone blinks repeatedly when you ask them a question, they are usually lying(unless the are handicapped or emotionally unstable). I someone keeps turning their back to you they are giving you the "cold shoulder". If someone won't look you in the eye, they either have no confidence or they have told you a lie. If someone give you eye contact from across the room they would be willing to talk to you.

If a girl starts playing with her hair while talking to you that means she likes you.
If someone rolls their eyes that means they can't stand you or it means "what ever".
If someone shrugs their shoulders it mean I don't know.
If someone waves it means hello.
If someone smiles it mean hi or I like you.
If a girl has her hands on her hips that means she's fed up.
If a man is grabbing his groin that means he has crabs.

Hope I helped.
