What does it mean when someone puts their leg on yours?
It is a sign that he is attracted to you. Usually, when guys are attracted to somebody, they use the sense of touch to test you or to see if you feel the same. If a girl tenses up or moves her leg away from a guy's leg who touches hers, then it means that she isn't interested.
Sometimes women also touch themselves unknowingly (no, not what you're thinking!), to calm their excitement. She may rub her thighs or her arms or keep crossing or non-crossing her legs either out of excitement or sheer nervousness.
What does it mean when a guy spreads his legs in front of you?
Leg spreading
"The behaviour is based in ancient history and is rooted in being able to protect," she told the Daily Star. “When men want to be seen as both attractive and protective, they will often splay their legs or drape their arms around nearby objects, like a chair or stool."
Few women actually explore a man's inner thighs, which means he may be a bit, uh, shocked, but still really turned on when you take a maiden voyage down there. Plus, when you get your guy's blood pumping in this area, you're automatically upping his arousal, giving him an even harder-than-usual erection.
Touch her gently so you don't startle her. If you two get really comfortable she might even let you slide your hand down a little lower. Once she's comfortable with you putting your hands on her waist, grab her and swing her around. Then, she'll be facing you.
Studies show that touching and stroking the knees can signal sexual interest. Of course, if she's stroking your knee, no need for further questions. But if she's stroking hers, this may be a subconscious desire to stroke yours.
Ask her if she would like to be touched with a phrase like "Can we hold hands?", or move slowly but clearly. Give her a light and casual touch. Brush your arm up against hers, place your hand on the small of her back, or just pass her a pen or a notebook and let your hands linger near each other's.
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.
Staring deeply into someone's eyes, without looking away is a clear signal to that person that we're attracted to them. You may also catch your crush covertly looking at you when they think you're not watching. Not being able to keep their eyes off you is a sure sign of secret love.
Some sure signals he or she's attracted to you are: They're giving you their undivided attention. They're giving you lots of flirty eye contact. They're flirting by using lots of physical contact: their hand on your knee, touching your hand, etc.
In a research project, Jeffrey Hall, Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas defined five flirting styles; playful, traditional, physical, sincere and polite.
In women, these gestures may indicate that they are indeed flirting: Slowly crosses and uncrosses her legs toward male. Licks her lips/slightly bites on her bottom lip. Excessively sways her hips. Dangles her shoe (once her legs are crossed toward the male)
