Body language signs of flirting are non-verbal signals used to express romantic or sexual interest in another person.
Based on common observations and insights, certain body language cues often indicate flirtation. These signals are typically subtle at first and can escalate as interest grows.
Eye Contact & Gazing
- Extended Gaze: One of the primary signs is holding another's gaze for a bit longer than appropriate. This goes beyond a fleeting glance and signals intentional focus on the other person.
- Deep Gazing: Gazing into another's eyes is particularly powerful. As noted, this act can signify love and attraction and spur the release hormones associated with love and affection, deepening the connection and signaling interest.
Smiling
- Genuine Smiles: A genuine smile is a clear indicator of positive feelings and attraction. When someone smiles frequently and openly at you during interaction, it is often a flirtation cue. The smile might reach the eyes, indicating sincerity.
Touching
- Subtle Physical Contact: Touching someone is another significant flirtation cue. This can range from light, accidental-seeming brushes (like on the arm or shoulder) to more deliberate touches during conversation. Physical contact, even brief, helps create a sense of intimacy and signals a desire for closer connection.
These signs, especially when used in combination, form a powerful non-verbal language of attraction, signaling interest and inviting further interaction.
