Ways to Know a Guy is Flirting

Many Ways to Know a Guy is Flirting

All it takes to know if he is flirting is to be alert to the signs.

The Eyes Have It

The most obvious way to know a guy is flirting is to see if he stares at you. In fact, if he doesn’t look at you often, it may be a sign that he really isn’t flirting. However, sometimes a guy will start by looking you over before he determines that he is interested. Once he has decided that he wants to talk with you, then his staring phase may be over and he is now ready to start flirting. If the guy is shy, then staring may be all he is capable of doing until he gets the courage to talk with you. If a man is completely transfixed by your looks, he may lock onto you wherever you are in the room, as if you are the only other person there.

He will Touch You

Often when a guy is flirting, he will want to touch you. It can be a brush of your hair or a soft pat on your shoulder or arm. He may not even be aware of what he is doing, and you may not notice it either if you are engrossed in conversation with him. This is why you need to be alert to the signals to know for sure if he is flirting.

Body language in general is something to watch. If he isn’t touching you, he will at least try to be near you. He may also lean towards you when you are talking. Watching him and his movements is one of the best ways to know a guy is flirting.

He will try to Impress You

Many men think they need to impress a woman to gain her attention and affection. His attempts to impress you could come in many different forms. It will depend on whether he is showing off his best skill or is trying to use a talent he thinks you'll find attractive.

For example, he may try and act really smart by talking about a complex subject or attempting to answer your questions. If he is a humorous guy, he will try really hard to make you laugh, often too hard. If you continue to laugh at his jokes, it will further encourage him to keep you laughing.

He Listens Really Well

Guys aren’t generally known for their listening skills. However, when he is first interested in a woman, he will often listen very intently to everything she says. He may be doing it out of respect, as a way to show his interest, and to learn things about you. Unfortunately, you may not be able to tell that he is listening while you are talking. Instead, watch for signs later that he was listening, such as bringing up a conversation you had with him – and he is able to remember many details.

He Teases You

Some guys will actually begin teasing you when they are interested. If it annoys you, you may not realize that he is flirting. He teases you because he may not be comfortable trying to have a regular conversation with you. He wants to be near you and get your attention, but he accomplishes this with teasing.

He Flirts with Words

Some guys will come right out and say what they are thinking. If he says that you are beautiful or that he would like to spend more time with you, he is obviously flirting. This also applies if you are typing in an instant message or texting back and forth. Any time he seems to be interested based on his word choices; it means he does like you.

Conclusion

Men aren’t as hard to figure out as you may think. Paying attention is one of the best ways to know a guy is flirting. With practice, it can become very easy to do. The larger problem is determining whether you are interested in him.
