There are various body language signals that indicate your interest that you might wish to give to someone when flirting with them. It’s handy to be able to recognise this body language because you may see it used at you, and in that case, you know someone is interested in you, and may be flirting with you!

Flirting body language used by men and women

1. The eyebrow flash. Eyebrows are raised for a short period of time, then fall back down again, upon first meeting.

2. Muscles become tense. Posture becomes more upright as slumping and bagginess around the eyes decrease or disappear. This is most easily identified in people with a few extra pounds.

3. Preening gestures, such as smoothing and straightening of clothes and rearranging of hair, are seen. This is an effort to look good for a potential mate. Even bald men sometimes sweep the non-existent hair on their head backwards, because this behaviour has become habitual.

4. Body pointing. The body and feet turn to face the person of interest. The feet are the most important indicators of interest. If the body faces you but the feet start to point somewhere else, they are not happy with your company and would rather be elsewhere! If they point towards the nearest exit, they want to use it!

5. Licking of the lips. They’re imagining what it would be like to kiss you! This is especially so if it is accompanied by a vacant expression, with eyes staring into space; they are daydreaming.

6. Gazing into your eyes. Marked by a longer-than-comfortable look into your eyes, it is a very reliable indicator of feelings towards you. These feelings can be either friendly or hostile, so it’s important to use this in conjunction with other pieces of observed body language. Positive, strong eye contact is more likely to be maintained by somebody who has strong feelings for you than somebody who wishes they were elsewhere.

7. Dilated pupils are another reliable indicator of interest. Contracted pupils signify distaste and possibly hostility.

8. Arms and legs open, in an open body-language pose, as opposed to crossed, in a closed, protective body-language pose.

Flirting body language mainly used by men

1. Arms and hands pointing towards the genitals. Even hands that are placed into pockets are pointing the way! This is especially the case if the “cowboy” pose with legs parted and pelvis tilted forward are witnessed.

2. Attempts to steal the limelight and grab your attention, especially if seeming contrived to cause a situation where communication between you and him will take place.

Flirting body language mainly used by women

1. Tossing of the hair from side to side. The man is given a good look at the woman’s face from a number of angles, and the woman who employs this technique is often confident.

2. Playing with earrings or twirling the end of the hair with palm facing you. This represents an expression of trust, as the person doing this indicates that she has nothing to hide.

3. Whilst sitting, legs tightly pressed against each other, crossed at the knee, with swapping between which leg crosses the other happening much more slowly than usual; or one leg tucked under the other. Sometimes accompanied by a foot being slid into and out of a shoe.

4. Whilst standing, legs further apart than normal, drawing attention to them, and also taking up more floor space.
