Flirting occurs in a variety of forms, some being
more obvious than others. In general flirting signs are similar for
both men and women; however there are some flirting signs unique to
women. Often a man will not even realise he is being flirted with,
unless a woman gives a clear sign, but many flirting signs are more
subtle. Flirting plays a key role in finding a potential date that
could lead to a successful relationship, therefore the importance of
recognising flirting signs cannot be underestimated. Many flirting
signs are carried out unintentionally, but whether it is intentional or
not, it could still be the reason for you meeting someone special.
When carried out in the correct manner, flirting
can be the initial reason for two people becoming close. The main
purpose of flirting is to send out signals to others that you are
attracted to them and would like to get to know them. It is just as
important for you to learn how to flirt accurately and appropriately as
it is for you to recognise when you are being flirted with. By not
recognising flirting signs, you risk missing a flirting opportunity
which could have resulted in you meeting a very special person. It is
essential for a woman to learn how to flirt correctly to avoid
inadvertently giving out the wrong impression.
There are a variety of forms of flirting including
facial expressions, body movements and conversation and the flirting
signs range from winking to the way in which you sit. Whichever
flirting sign you choose to use, it is important that you don’t overuse
it otherwise you may end up looking silly, especially if you overuse
the eyelash fluttering sign.
A facial expression is one of the most obvious
flirting signs to express. A woman’s face is often the first area
looked at by a man, so the importance of a facial expression cannot be
underestimated as it could potentially make or break a flirting moment.
Flirting facial expressions include; winking, plenty of eye contact
with dilated pupils, rapid blinking, an extended gaze, fluttering
eyelashes, rapid eye movement, lots of smiling,
licking/puckering/biting of lips, exposed teeth, touching teeth with
tongue, reddened skin tone, an arched eyebrow, touching of chin or
cheek, stroking hair and twirling hair around her finger. Remember to
use these facial expressions in moderation. Simply pick out the ones
you would feel most comfortable using and practice them. It may help to
look in a mirror and observe yourself, even if it makes you feel a
little silly. Without a doubt the most important facial expression is a
smile. Not only does a smile show that you are a friendly woman, it
also shows that you are approachable which is highly important when
flirting.
Body movement plays a large part in flirting and
it is this area where many do not realise they are flirting. Whether
you are standing or sitting it is important to keep your posture as
tall as possible. Not only will this make you feel more confident, it
will also make you look more confident, plus help to show off your
womanly figure. Your flirtatious body movements may include, sitting
open legged facing your flirting partner, pushing your breasts
outwards, sitting crossed legged, leaning towards another while
maintaining eye contact, playing with your jewellery, touching their
hand/arm/shoulder/thigh, you may find yourself copying their body
movements, you will expose the palm of your hand to them, exposing
flesh from your arm or thigh (not too much), playing with your hands,
and seductively moving to music while watching them. As with the facial
expressions, it is important not to overuse these flirting signs
otherwise you risk giving off the wrong impression or appear anxious
and uncomfortable. Select a handful of these body movements which you
feel most comfortable using and stick to them. You may find you carry
out some of these body movements without even realising, don’t worry
about this, if you don’t even realise it then it is natural for you to
do so.
Some flirting signs can be very sexy, in
particular pushing your breasts out, exposing some flesh from your arm
or thigh or sitting open-legged towards another. If you decide to carry
out some of these moves, be careful not to go over the top, especially
if you are wearing a short skirt or a low cut top. You risk giving the
impression that you are only after a sexual encounter, which is not the
impression you want to give out when flirting.
People often worry about what to talk about while
flirting. Try to discuss a topic you enjoy and are interested in,
otherwise you could give off the impression that you are bored and
uninterested in both the topic and the person you are talking to. It is
also suggested that you keep the conversation positive as the last
thing you want to be when flirting is negative. The key conversation
flirting signs are, laughing a great deal at what they say and you will
find yourself matching the tone and speed of their voice. Also, if the
person you wish to flirt with is in a group, you will find yourself
singling them out, or if you are being flirted with you will find
yourself being singled out.
Whether you choose to use one or many of these
flirting signs, the most important thing to remember is to have fun. As
long as you don’t overuse the flirting signs and learn to relax and
have a good time, you should not have any problems flirting.
