Flirting Body Languages In Men And Women
The flirting body language is complicated to understand and oftentimes misinterpreted. Men
gives signs of flirtation in different ways compared to women. So how can you tell if
someone is already flirting with you? Does she like me? Is he interested in me? This article
discusses facts and tips on determining flirting signals.
Men’s Flirting Signals
There are five standard body signals that a man is flirting: eye contact, raising the
eyebrows, giving the masculine impression, touching self, and leaning towards you.
The first sign of attraction a man would give you is catching your eye. But if he passes on
to another person and doesn’t look back at you, it means that he is not interested. However,
if he glimpses at you, looks away, and then back at you again, it is a very clear indication
that he is attracted to you. Sometimes, eye contact would not mean anything. But if it lasts
longer, it means something indeed is running in his mind and you are involved. The second
signal, raising the eyebrow is not a very strong indication and is most of the time done
unconsciously. It often means that he finds you interesting or sexy.
The third flirting sign is that men would square his shoulders and try to stand tall and
straight. When sitting, his feet and legs will be apart. A man would also tend to hook his
thumbs over his belt. These actions would show and emphasize his masculinity, with hopes
that he would acquire that admiration from you.
Lastly, a man attracted to you would try to get closer to you or lean his body towards you.
This act can be done intentionally or unconsciously.
Women’s Flirting Signals
Research shows that women gives body language messages five to six times more than men. They
can give many signs that she is flirting with you and they are easy to spot. The most common
action is preening. A woman would tend to play, stroke or comb her hair and sometimes toss
it over her shoulder. A strong flirting preening action is when a woman would involve her
lips. Licking the lips, eating slowly, drinking with poise while having eye contact, and
putting on lipstick can easily seduce a man.
Slowly crossing or stroking the legs is also a clear intentional flirting action by women.
She would also tend too adjust her clothes to expose more skin. Playing with an object, like
a glass, is a sign that she likes you. But make sure she is looking at you while doing it,
otherwise it would mean that she is not interested.
“Yes, I like You”
The general signs saying that he or she is indeed interested with you include smiling,
longer eye contact, preening, licking the lips, raising the eyebrows, playing with the hair,
looking away and then back again, leaning towards you, head slightly tilted, mirroring your
actions, good posture, frequent nodding, laughing, and many more. If you spot these signs,
then it would be a great time to move a step further.
“No, I’m Really Not Interested”
How would you know if that quick glance did not mean anything and a connection is not
happening? Watch out for these body language signals: looking away and not looking back,
looking at other people, slouching, sighing loudly, passive expression, playing an object
with her fingers without looking at you while you talk, dull eyes, crossing the arms, and
the like.
Body language is truly a strong reinforcement of messages especially during flirting,
seduction, and dating. Each one may have different ways to express their desires, but most
of these actions have general meanings that are easy to decipher and learn.
