you know, when we talk with others, we also show our emotion and attitude by using our body language. then how can we know whether a person is enjoying chatting with us or not?

Well you have asked two questions here... I think you can tell if someone is enjoying your conversation by the simple fact that they are paying attention and responding in a caring way. If you mean chatting on line... totally different animal... I would like to think that it would be the same but for some reason it rarely is. As far as learning someone like a book... that takes great knowledge of a person, the hows and whys of the way they think. Watching someone for years... very cool thing.

There is a very interesting book called "The Definitive Book of Body Language" by Allan and Barbara Pease. It tells you alot about the body hand and eye movements. It will have you cold reading someone as soon as you read it. When a person wants to be open and honest they will often hold one or both palms out for you to see. THe palms are intententionally used every where to imply an honest approach.. People who seem to hide their hands are trying
to hide from conversation..THere are several handshakes
that reveal nonthreating palm up or palm down meaning
authority..false smiles pull back only the mouth, real smiles pull back both the mouth and eyes. Get the book! If you are
very precetive you can feel that the person is interested by
their eyes looking into yours. You can feel it!

I think that the only way we can know is if they want to talk with us again or someone tells us they enjoyed it. But it is more important that people listen and show that they are listening to others by showing concern and rephrasing or commenting on what they say. The focus should be on the other person, not on you.

They say first impressions says everything about a person.This is true to a certain degree,When you talk to certain people you just know that they are genuine because of their body language and can look you straight in the eye.I think if you listen to your heart you will not go wrong.Talking to someone can tell you a lot about different people but mostly it is all about chemistry.

Well, people are like objects.Sounds mean, but it is true.You examine them, and you know things about them.
If the person is smiling, but their eyes don't shine and the smile doesn't reach their eyes, they are probably only being nice when you say something funny.
If the person just looks at you, but doesn't look at you.They keep looking away, then they are probably not interested in what you have to say.
If you're telling a story, and you see no changes in their facial expressions, they're not interested.They don't nod their head, or ask questions then they don't care.
If you want to test, say something like "yeah,so I shot her" or insult the person you're talking to if you know them.If they don't re act then you're a 100% sure they weren't listening to begin with.
