Don’t Talk! Use Your Body to Flirt!

It is not always necessary to have your way with words to attract the opposite gender. Your body can say it all! You just need to make the right moves!

Sometimes the moves are intentional while sometimes you make them without even knowing that you are indulging in body language flirting! Flirting of this kind helps in making an impression on the other, that you are attracted to him/her and would like to draw attention towards you. It is a part of the very first steps taken towards building a relationship.

Flirting with the body is not always the same for both genders. It differs from one to the other although a few are common as the objective of indulging in it - to send across the message that one is available and ready to engage in a relationship.

If you are a woman, you are likely to use the following parts of your body to flirt -

• your legs
• your lips
• your hair

Entwining legs is something very feminine. Stroking thighs as you cross and uncross your legs accentuates the effect. It is this feminity in the woman which attracts a man to her. Licking lips, eating slowly deliberately to attract attention, applying lipstick are the different ways your lips flirt to attract the man you like! A woman's hair is something a man never fails to notice! Flipping your hair from one side to the other, combing it, moving it from your face, entwining one end of your hair with your fingers all are proven techniques of body language flirting. Also, exposing parts of your skin that are otherwise hidden under your hair sends across a strong signal.

Other significant body language flirting indulged in by women include stroking something round and round, moving the foot up and down, adjusting the dress, tightening or loosening it, rubbing the neck, walking by moving the hips to and fro softly yet noticeably and so on. Looking down when the man you are interested engages in some eye contact with you is a body language flirting that makes the man know you are giving in to him! Men usually love this!

A man's posture is vital. It is a part of his body language flirting. Facing the woman of his dreams and standing nonchalantly is one of them. A smart gait with the chest out is a mark of confidence. Every woman would want his man to be confident and smart. Hence, these postures are a hit.

They say a smile is the 'shortest distance between two strangers'! Whether you are a man or a woman, it doesn't matter. A warm, intimate smile as you look into the eyes of the person you are interested in is bound to bring him/her closer to you! Dilation of the pupils is yet another common body language flirting gesture that proves that you are attracted and would like to respond to the moves of the other person.

Irrespective of what body language you use to flirt, remember that it should pass the message that you are open to a relationship. The flirting also should not be too loud. You should maintain your dignity and self-respect as you work towards drawing attention towards you and of the person you like.
