Flirting Signs
The Top 5 Flirting Signs
Part of being single is understanding the flirting signs from the opposite sex. Whether you’re actively looking for someone to date or you just want them all to leave you alone, you’ve got to recognize the flirting signs in order to respond properly. After all, you wouldn’t want to accidentally give someone the idea that you’re interested if you’re really not. You also don’t want to drive away someone you’re really into.
The number one sign that someone of the opposite sex is flirting with you is a smile. Both men and women smile when they’re happy, and a lot of smiles could add up to a lot of flirting. Smiling can take many different forms, so it’s important that you understand the meaning behind the smile. First, the smile must be directed specifically at you. Second, if the smile is very large and doesn’t necessarily seem to be fueled by anything in particular, it may actually be fueled by you.
The second one on our list of top five flirting signs is nervous gestures. For example, men tend to draw attention to their hair a lot when they’re trying to flirt. They might draw their hands through it or just touch it. Women, on the other hand, tend to draw attention to their mouth. Typical female gestures in this category include leaning on a table with the hand very near the mouth, applying lip gloss, or even just touching her lips.
The third sign he or she may be flirting with you is simply a matter of how touchy-feely they’re being. Both men and women tend to touch the arms of those they’re interested in. It’s usually a casual touch that occurs during conversation, and you may not even notice it unless you’re also keenly interested in the other person.
The number four sign that someone is flirting with you is eye contact. Making eye contact from across a room tends to draw in people who are also interested. Eye contact is one way for both men and women to say, “Hey, I’m interested… Are you?” Women may also find plenty of reasons to casually walk by you, so pay attention if she’s moving around the room a lot. If she steers her steps toward you frequently, she may be flirting. Women may also play an eye contact game that involves looking at you, and then looking away quickly. Men also play the looking away game, but not as often as women.
The fifth flirting sign you should always be able to recognize is body posture. Both men and women tend to copy the movements of the person they’ve got their eye on. For example, if a woman is sitting with her legs crossed, an interested man may cross his legs too. He might even uncross them if the woman uncrosses her legs. The same also holds true for smaller things like the way he holds a drink or how she leans on the table.
