Little compliments are another sign that he's flirting. He may be subtle with these and compliment your clothes or your style, or he may just say things like, “wow, that's so cool!” with a passionate look in his eyes, or he'll say “I love that!” when you say something he agrees with.
When he is flirting with you, he may lean closer towards you while you and he are speaking. He may angle his body towards you, make eye contact, keep his feet faced in your direction, or tilt his head while he talks to you. These body language cues signal one thing: He is very much into you!
Men love women who flirt. Men are drawn to a good flirt because besides being fun and charming, she's definitely not shy. The flirter shows interest right off the bat, making the “getting to know you” aspect of courtship all the more easy. For a guy, not having to do all the work is a relief.
Smiling at the other person, playing with your hair, and maintaining eye contact are great ways to flirt without physically touching them. If you do want to show your affection through a touch, try sitting close to them and giving a light touch on the arm or hand to start.
Flirting comes naturally to certain guys. He may not even be interested in hooking up with you or getting your attention. Some men have a way with words and body language that comes off as incredibly charming.
The head is turned to the side and tilted down. There is a slight smile on the lips and eyes gazing forward to make eye contact. This sends a message of “I am vulnerable but open to you.” Head Tossing. An upward or sideways jerk of the head as if one is throwing aside long hair.
Unlike polite flirts, “physical” flirts rely on body language to express interest. They may play with their hair, adjust their stance or use touch to interact with the opposite sex. People tend to perceive a physical flirt's everyday manner as more sexually charged, Hall wrote.
Sincere flirting involved communicating sincere interest and a desire to establish strong emotional connections. Women scored higher in this style, although men used this style, too. Playful flirting was the style least likely to result in meaningful relationships.
The closer he wants to be to you, the more he probably likes you. This body language is a minute way that guys go for physical contact. People who are just being nice don't want to get closer and closer to another person. Instead, they'll keep a safe distance and might lean away if you try to touch them.
Body language can include flicking the hair, eye contact, brief touching, open stances, proximity, and other gestures. Flirting may be done in an under-exaggerated, shy or frivolous style.
Some men use flirtation in social situations because it's all they know how to do when interacting with the opposite sex. Others flirt relentlessly for hook-ups. Some men flirt because it makes them feel good about themselves when they are otherwise fairly insecure.
