Just imagine: you are in a room with other people, one of whom you find really attractive. You want to get in touch with that person, but before that you need to know – does your body language convey that? Does it show you’re open to new acquaintances?
The following body language tips will help you advance in flirting with other people, and besides this, you will know when other people start flirting with you! Don’t forget that flirting is a harmless thing, and you can easily use it when communicating with the opposite sex.
And now we’re coming to the most important cues in flirting:
Flirting with a Simple Smile
It’s the easiest thing you can do – and the most genuine at the same time. A kind smile is a great way to ‘melt the ice’ and break the barrier between you and your new companion. Don’t forget to smile while communicating, since it’s a very important part of your body language and always remember that it is very easy to fall in love with a smile. So, be genuine and kind.
Flirting with Your Eyes
Holding eye contact with a person you find attractive and appealing is also a very common part of flirting. Usually, this eye contact lasts about five seconds and it is enough to find out, whether the other person is also showing interest or not. What’s more, it’s also a harmless way of flirting – you’re not offending anyone – you only show your genuine interest in a person.
It will be great if you combine your eye contact with a smile – this will show that you’re a nice person in a great mood and that you’re free to meeting new people around you!
Flirting with a Touch
It’s very important to find opportunities to touch a person you’re flirting with. This can be done either accidentally or on purpose. Gently take the person’s hand while introducing yourself or try to show you’re a gentleman (if you’re a guy of course) by helping the lady on stairs or just while going somewhere. A slight touch will not make her think you’re going too far, but will show that you’re caring for her. If it’s loud in the room, you can come closer and say something in her ear, while slightly touching her back. Don’t forget that by touching your new partner, you’re showing that you’re not just a friend but would like to be something more to him/her. And don’t go too far, it’s not your main aim. Don’t forget that you almost don’t know each other and that not everyone likes intimacy at the beginning of your relationship.
Flirting by Pointing
No, you’re not going to point at the person you would like to flirt with using your finger. What we’re going to speak about is pointing with your body. Your body should show the other person that you’re open to him/her. Generally, you should ‘look’ with your body into the person’s direction. This means that while you’re chatting with your new acquaintance, your legs and shoulders should be pointing into his/her direction. And some more words about your eyes – you should try to look the person in the eyes. That doesn’t mean you have to stare at your partner, but what I mean is that you shouldn’t look around all the time. It will not only show that you’re absent-minded but will also mean that you’re not interested in what other person is saying. And if you’re not interested, what’s the point of flirting with him/her?
