Many people find flirting with girls to be confusing. This stems from the common misconception that flirting is impressing her. Flirting is actually a way to show that you are interested in her. Webster's Dictionary defines the word flirt "To pay amorous attention to someone without serious intentions." You can do many things to increase your odds of having her return your flirtatious advances.
Make Eye Contact
Make eye contact to show confidence, it is the largest turn-on for women, according to Linda Stambaugh, author of "How To Flirt." It also establishes a connection with her. Establishing eye contact allows you to be more receptive to any indicators of her interest that she may show.
Open Your Posture
Sitting with your arms crossed and your legs pressed tightly together does not invite people to interact with you. Maintain an open posture where your arms do not seem to be guarding your body; this shows that you are receptive to her interests. Keep your eyes up and face her directly to increase your open posture.
Smile
Light up the room by smiling openly and often. In situations where people are flirting, most people will smile. Smile to show her that you are having fun. This has the double benefit of showing confidence and showing that you can be a fun individual to be around. Patti Wood, one of the foremost experts in body language, says that 'the smile is the international signal of friendliness.'
Initiate Physical Contact
According to Romancestruck.com, one of the most important cues during early flirting is the casual touch. Touch her lightly on the arms or legs when appropriate. Do it innocently at first and linger later on if she shows positive responses. Physical contact makes us feel connected to each other. But do not go too far. Keep it light and fun.
Bring Your Sense Of Humor
A lot of women agree that a sense of humor is attractive. Be fun and playful. Keep it natural. Do not prepare a stand up skit to perform as a replacement for flirting. Get a feel for her sense of humor as there are many different styles of humor.
Listen to Her When She Talks
Do not talk over her when she is speaking. Focus on her and show that you were paying attention afterwards with a response or comment about what she was saying. Girls like it if you are interested in who she is, so show listen and show interest. Maureen Staiano, a life coach who specializes working with women, says "the person you are communicating with will certainly feel respected and important given the care you are taking with the conversation."
Be Open and Honest
Saying things that are untrue, but impressive, may get her to show more interest early on, but eventually the truth will come out. Basing any encounter on lies will sour any further interactions. Be honest, it will give your words an open feel and show her that you have confidence in who you are.
