How to Recognize Flirting?
In western culture, explicitly expressing sexual interest in someone is considered inappropriate and unacceptable. But that’s why we have flirting as an appropriate tool to express we’re interested in someone. Flirting is a good way to show someone we see them as a potential sexual and romantic partner. Also, flirting is fun, and if done playfully, without any greater intentions, it often feels very good and boosts your confidence. But how to recognize if someone is flirting with you?
Firstly and most importantly, pay attention to body language. If someone is trying to get closer to you physically or touching you often, it might be a sign of flirting. Also, if someone is drawing attention to some parts of their body they find attractive, it can also mean they’re flirting with you. However, it is easy to misinterpret the signs of flirting. Thus, be careful to not exaggerate the situation and overinterpret the other person’s behaviour, as that can lead to misunderstandings and awkward situations.
It sounds complicated, but it’s actually not. Here are 10 signs she’s flirting with you, so that can help you recognize if she is interested in you. She…
- smiles
- keeps walking by
- draws attention to her mouth
- isolates herself
- mimics your body movements
- touches you
- makes eye contact
- renters your personal space
- approaches you to talk
- plays with her hair
In person, body language, eye contact, text messages, Facebook, kind words, pictures, gestures, smiles, laughs and tickles… how are you showing love this February?
