How Do You Know If a Guy Is Flirting with You?
What are the actual signs of flirting?
What do guys do when they like the girl?
How do you know if a man is flirting with you?
Its high time to end the guessing game once and for all.
If a guy is interested, expect him to single you out.
Before he even starts talking to you or comes near you, youll notice his lingering eye contact.
If youre close or talking to a person that you like, you wont be able to stop smiling.
The same thing is true for guys.
The key here is to tell the difference between a polite or a forced smile and the real deal.
But it shouldnt be hard to decipher when he cant stop beaming at you.
That is a guaranteed cue that hes flirting.
He will find any excuse to get closer and touch you.
But flirtation, essentially, needs sequences of acts, and every response matters!
You have to indicate genuine interest continuously.
Dont know where to start?
Heres our 8-step process to flirting with a guy to get you on the right track.
Build Your Confidence
Flirting 101 it all starts with being confident and wearing that confidence on your shoulders.
As they say, nothing is sexier than confidence.
Confidence isthe ultimate aphrodisiacwhen done in a genuine way, with no putting on airs nor look-at-me overconfidence.
Yes, because its usually the girl that exudes the most confidence that moves the room.
To build your dating confidence, start by taking care of you first, then the actions will follow.
Smell your best and wear something special.
Not because you are dating or flirting with someone special, but because you are!
Start with Small Talk
What do you do?
How was your day?
No, I dont mean that kind of small talk.
In fact, thats the kind of petty small talk you should skip.
No one wants to deal with that boring chatter.
Instead, skip to the good stuff and aim to havemeaningful small talk.
Dont know what that means?
Simple its something that can help you connect with the other person in the most genuine way.
Fancy some tips to avoid annoying small talk and cut ahead to more fun and interesting conversations?
All these shouldnt be too hard if youre genuinely curious about the other person.
And heres a fun fact maintaining eye contact triggers oxytocin.
Pro Tip #1:Keep persisting when making flirty eyes to a guy.
And if hes really slow, that can take up to five different eye contacts!
That will absolutely get the attention and even draw their eyes from your eyes to your lips.
But how do you do that without looking creepy?
The fundamentals of a flirty smile are not about your mouth or showing your pearly whites.
It also leverages your eyes, head and neck, and sometimes even your whole body.
And if theres a flirty smile, theres also a flirty touch.
If a touch happens once, its probably accidental.
And if you touch him and everyone else, then thats just casual.
But when flirting with a guy, you might want to use the 5-in-15 rule of subtle touching.
Essentially, you attempt to touch the person youre interested in five times within 15 minutes.
Dont Be Afraid of Some Playful Teasing
Teasing, when done properly, can be a great flirting technique!
In a way, your high school self has done it right.
Teasing someone you fancy is a fantastic way to build attraction.
Dating can be rather tiring and monotonous, sometimes too serious and too fast.
Where theres no back and forth, there is no movement.
So, dont be afraid to give things a little shake-up; otherwise, whats the point?
And while men love to tease women they like, it also works the opposite way.
The secret to the art of flirting by teasing is doing so with the right intentions.
Example: Yourethe coolest guy Ive ever met… at this bar, anyway.
Teasing by flirting should get him excited, not confuse him that he goes nuts.
Its hypnotic language to make them do something without actually saying it outright.
Leave Him Wanting
Backing off from the game sounds frustrating.
Youve flirted with him and let him know that youre interested, that he wont be rejected.
Now, he needs to make the next move.
Pro Tip:Refrain from asking their number.
If he wants to hit you up, hes going to ask for yours!
Because where there is no chase, there would be no reward.
But dont confuse it with the unhealthy chase.
This last part is also the make or break saying goodbye, either for good or just for now.
The secret is this: magical eye contact flirting moves!
You dont have to talk to someone to start testing the waters and flirting with them.
Just use these eye contact flirting tips to make a great impression from across the room.
Start with a Casual Stare
See someone you like from across the room?
Flirting takes time, and its going to be worth it!
Start with casual glances.
You dont want to start ogling him and make him uncomfortable.
So, be relaxed and take the time to check him out.
You dont want him to think youre a stalker.
Because flirty could turn creepy quickly if some stranger is staring at you endlessly from across the room.
Make Fleeting Eye Contact
Soon enough, he will start to notice you.
The first eye contact should only be long enough to send the message across to him that youre interested.
So, look away immediately.
If not, wait for him to make eye contact again.
Lock eyes with him a bit longer than before but stop staring at him for much longer.
By doing this, youre making him curious why youre not looking at him anymore.
Now, with that curiosity planted, he may start to stare at you more often.
Now, hes the one interested in looking at you.
Reverse Eye Contact Flirting
Dont stare at him directly but keep him in your line of sight.
That way, youll know whether hes trying to make eye contact with you.
And that means its time to do the reverse!
The timing is key for this step to work.
Once youre sure hes staring at you, look back at him in an attempt to catch his gaze.
Make him think that hes the one eye flirting with you.
Not the other way around!
Make a Longer Eye Contact and Smile
Now, youre certainly staring at each other, equally interested.
After all those stolen glances, its time to take the plunge and send him a smile.
And if youre brazen enough, how about giving him a wink?
If he smiles back or sends you a wink, youve struck gold!
So, how do you flirt with a guy via text?
Flirty Texts to Send a Guy You Are Genuinely Interested In
Send him flirty texts.
The flirting stage is considered an art because it needs to be subtle.
But remember that practice always makes perfect, or so they say!
Think of flirting as a muscle.
If you dont go to the gym or take the time to exercise, its going to deteriorate rapidly.
