Flirting Body Language

  

Body language flirting signs can either indicate romantic interest or may be sexual overtures. Though body language flirting signs of men and women are different, there are some signs that are shown by both. Flirtatious gestures can be exhibited not only through one’s body postures, but also through one’s facial expressions and eye contacts. So, here are some signs that may indicate that the person whom you are having a conversation with is attracted to you.

Body Language Flirting Signs #01

Eyes convey a lot of things that even words cannot. So, one of the most common as well as the most important body language flirting signs is the eye contact. A person who is interested in you, not only will look at you, but will hold your eye contact for a few minutes. If you have observed a woman sitting across the room making frequent eye contacts with you, chances are there that she is interested in you. Apart from this, raised eyebrows can also be the sign of flirting.

Body Language Flirting Signs #02

Smiling is one of the common male and female body language flirting signs. A pleasant smile which reveals the upper as well as the lower teeth is a sign that explains that he/she is pleased to be in the other person’s company. Laughter is also another sign that shows that the person sitting opposite to you is interested in you. If your companion is laughing at all your jokes and one liners, even though they are not very funny, chances are that he/she finds you attractive.

Body Language Flirting Signs #03

It has been observed that men and women who indulge in flirting are seen to fiddle a lot with their hands. For instance, women are likely to play with their earrings and necklaces while conversing with men they are interested in. Also, some women indulge in flicking their hair or may be twirling and twisting their strands in front of the person they like. This applies to the men folk too. Usually, while having a conversation with women they are interested in, men try to straighten their hair or straighten their neckties like they are unconsciously trying to look well groomed. It has also been observed that men constantly touch their face while looking or talking to the woman they are interested in.

Body Language Flirting Signs #04

Many times, while talking to the person of the opposite sex, men as well as women try to mirror the other person, though usually in a subconscious way. If you have observed two lovers talking in a restaurant, you may observe that they are mirroring each others body language as well as body positions. This is one of the very common male as well as female body language flirting signs. Other than this, leaning towards the person and lightly touching the other person’s shoulder, arm or knee are also some obvious sign of flirting.

Love has its own Body Language

Focus

If you’re interested in someone, you focus and pay attention. If you’re not interested in someone, your attention wanders. So if you’re sitting with the person you like, and he/she is looking at you when you’re talking, that’s a great sign. The eyes have it all and thus if the person is not interested he/she will keep looking out the window, or watching other girls/men.

Dilated eyes
As they say “The eyes are the window to the soul.” Thus while you are talking to the person you like, your eye pupils dialate (get bigger) when you’re excited. So if someone’s eyes look really big, it shows they’re interested. Thus keep your eyes on him/her and observe the eyes.

Lip and Mouth Activities
A girl might bite her lip gently, or run her tongue along her lip to show that she is interested. Some girls even do this deliberately to flirt, although it rarely looks natural. If you’re a girl, don’t try it, unless you’re really sure it looks natural.

Hair
Fiddling and playing with hair is one way to show that you are interested. Girls wrap their fingers in their hair. Guys run their hands through their hair. Note that twirling your hair is more a sign of boredom and distraction.

Arms and Hands
If the girl keeps her arms or hands closed or crossed (which is normal if its cold) then that is a clear indication that she’s not feeling comfortable. Arms that are out and away from her are less ‘defensive’. Also, if the woman leaves her wrist-up, it’s sort of an “I trust you” motion.

Legs
Women normally like to sit cross-legged and note that it doesn’t mean that she isn’t interested. So forget about that and concentrate on the toes because, toes tend to react to general body energy. So if someone’s feeling bored and listless, they might just lay there. But if someone is feeling excited and energetic, the toe might make little circles or bounce. Women when are interested point their toes towards the man.

The Voice
The way someone talks and especially the tone of the voice is hugely important. It will instantly tell you whether: Are they bored and weary? Are they thoughtful and quiet? Are they enthused and interested? To find out whether the person is interested in you first watch your own speech and then watch how their speech changes. If someone wants to ‘get along’ with someone else, they naturally match their speech patterns together. If you’re interested in someone, you start to naturally speak like them, using the same tone of voice, the same loudness/softness and speed, the same phrases even.
