The subconscious plays an important role in man-woman dating and is the determining factor in how they perceive each other. First impressions are often lasting impressions and, according to the majority of experts, it only takes little less than two to four minutes in arriving at a decision whether one likes a person or not. And, most of the impressions we get from another is through body language. So, it can safely be assumed that body language and flirting are quite inseparable from one another.
Intricately Interwoven
The way that one walks and stands may account for most of what another person finds impressive about one and, because people often make snap judgments about others, body language and flirting can be interwoven intricately. Since the body does the talking and also the flirting, one may be able to judge whether a person is flirting or not, by studying these signs.
Body language should also not be judged solely by one thing alone and, one should not jump too hastily to conclusions. There are certain signals given off by a person and knowing these body language and flirting signs, one may be able to judge whether someone is flirting or not. The first signal one should look at is the flirting triangle or when people that are not too well known to each other, move their eyes in a zigzag motion. The body language in a flirtatious situation will see the eyes widening at the bottom to include the body as well as the face. Intense flirting will often result in eye to eye contact as well as looking long and hard at the mouth.
Mirroring a person’s behavior is another body language and flirting sign that means that there is quite a bit of attraction involved, since it implies being at the same level of attraction. But, when mirroring another’s movements, make sure to wait approximately 50 seconds before mimicking the gestures. Another body language and flirting sign is when someone raises their eyebrows and lets them fall. If a person is flirting, he or she would also raise the eyebrows in return. Be sure to catch this sign as it usually is only fleeting, lasting a bare fifth of a second!
Another pointer to body language and flirting signal is when a person is attracted to another; their bodies will tend to point in the direction of the person to whom they are attracted. Pointing one’s body in the direction of another is a subtle way of communicating strong attraction and the other person may take the hint. Also, blinking is another body language and flirting sign wherein, if a person likes another, he or she will generally try to match the other’s blink rate and keep in sync with it, which is both fun as well as increases the attraction for the other.
The important thing to remember is that one should not jump to conclusions regarding body language and flirting and, should look for grouped behavior patterns which should together add up to being a signal that a person is indeed attracted and is flirting.
