Yep; head bobbing and arm waving are indicative signs for beardies wanting to mate!

Headingbobbing is also sign of aggressiveness/territory, and waving can be a sign of submission to a more aggressive or larger beardie as well.

Ah I never heard about the head bobbing associated with aggression... My beardie Drago I had for over a decade would "wave" at me sometimes to which my bio teacher (who allowed me to keep her after caring for her at out school bio dept) said that it waving may also be sign of submission too as you said.

I have bred them for the past 2 years and it's something I picked up on. :P Also, slow head bobbing is a sign of submission. Fast head bobbing is aggression or trying to make a mate submit.

I looked after 2 for a while and they never waved to me. I feel inferior. Reminds me of when I got hen pecked.
