=== Non-verbal communication ===
Within the interactive seduction game, non-verbal communication is a prominent feature in accessing the desirable potential mate. The purpose of this communication is to reduce the interpersonal distance between the desired individuals.

Physiological features such as [[Pupillary response|pupil dilation]]<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Tombs, S.|author2=Silverman, I.|name-list-style=amp|year=2004|title=Pupillometry: A sexual selection approach|journal=Evolution and Human Behavior|volume=25 |issue=4|pages=221–228|doi=10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2004.05.001}}</ref> are a salient cue, expressing attraction. Leading on from this, eye contact is a very notable sign of attraction. Although there are cross cultural differences in whether eye contact is used or not, in Western cultures, the duration of eye contact and the exchange between two individuals is important in the first stages of the biosocial model.
Another non-verbal cue in the process of seduction are facial expressions. [[Smile|Smiling]] is considered another prominent feature in seduction,<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|author=Andersen, P. A.|year=1985|title=Nonverbal immediacy in interpersonal communication|journal=Multichannel Integrations of Nonverbal Behavior|pages=1–36}}</ref> as it signifies willingness to engage in a social interaction, and in the case of seduction, to participate in creating an intimate bond. These non-verbal behaviours become synchronised between the two individuals which can then lead to the last two stages of the biosocial model.
