its somewhat like this... but its very easy to understand: while standing, bend your elbow until your arm is pointing forward, making a straight angle with your body. Then, rotate your wrist until your palm is upwards. Let your hand loose, so the palm will not be pointing exatctly upwards, but between upwards and forward. Exactly like if you were showing your palm to the person, or if you were giving something that is in your palm. It may seems hard to describe, but im sure you have seen it already.

To the original question... for me, the surest way to know is to observe the person when im stoned. I dont know why, but when im stoned i can read and interpret all kind of body language, i can feel how the people feels, i can almost read their thoughts. It helps me a lot, as i was very clueless when sober. Now i learned somethings when stoned, and try to remember them when im sober, but its hard to describe. My advice is to get stoned, and try to "feel".
Of course reading the signs the people said, as eye contact, showing palms, etc, sometimes works, but just searching for some "standard" signs, without knowing what youre doing seems for me much like following a cooking recipe. Some people dont show this signs so clearly, or show another ones, so i think the best option is observe the person as attentively as you can, so you can know the truth.
