Maintaining eye contact, smiling, and leaning forward when speaking to Shelly shows that Holling is engaged in the conversation and interested in what she has to say. This demonstrates his responsiveness and increases the likelihood that Shelly will have a positive response to his overtures. Glancing away and interrupting her frequently, sitting as close as possible and trying to kiss her and fondle her breasts, or sitting back in his chair, staring at her, and shaking his head are all behaviors that are likely to turn Shelly off and decrease the likelihood of a positive response.
