7 Signs That Tell if She is Flirting or Just Being Friendly

So, you met a girl at a party and spent all night chatting. You sense that you’re hitting it off and want to take things to the next level. You finally muster up the courage to ask her out on a date-or, if you’re the forward type, back to your place. However, out of the blue, she turns you down and doesn’t even want to give you her number. You end up heading home, alone, with your tail between your legs, completely bewildered and confused.

Did you misread the signs she was emitting, or was she simply playing you for a fool? What went wrong? How can you be sure that something similarly embarrassing is not going to happen again?

To be fair, it’s not your fault; women are complex creatures, and within the span of several minutes, can blow hot and cold. You also have to remember that a woman can and will flirt with you, even if she doesn’t want anything more than stimulating conversation. In order to avoid bruising your delicate ego, you need to pay close attention to the signs that she’s giving off.

# There’s plenty of touching

If she likes you, she’ll probably initiate loads of physical contact while you’re chatting. Look out for indications like her “absentmindedly” stroking your arm, “accidentally” brushing up against you, and so on. Playing footsie with you is another obvious sign.

# She shows off her assets

A woman will use all the weapons in her arsenal when flirting. Pay attention to little signs, like her readjusting her top to showcase her boobs, unbuttoning the top button of her blouse to show off a little cleavage, and adjusting her skirt to give you a good view of her never-ending legs.

# She’s curious about you

The same way you won’t bother finding out more about someone you’re not interested in, women don’t bother seeking more information if they aren’t interested romantically. When a woman is interested in you, she will ask plenty of questions in a bid to get to know you better. She’ll ask you everything, from what you do in life, to what hobbies you enjoy indulging in. She’ll also express interest in doing or trying what you like.

# The compliments keep coming

If she likes what she sees, she’ll say so. From complimenting your shirt, to your accent, most women are not too shy to let you know that they’re interested.

# She doesn’t leave your side

She’ll find any excuse to be around you, even if she’s the host of the party and has to entertain everyone else. She will mingle with others, but will always flutter back to your side, so pay attention.

# Long eye contact

The same way you wouldn’t initiate lingering eye contact with someone you’re not interested in, women will only pay special attention to a love interest. She’ll shyly avert her gaze when you meet her eye. If she likes you, this will happen multiple times, so be on the lookout.

# She brings up sex

She’s not going to make suggestive jokes if she’s not interested in getting into your pants. Keep an ear out for sexually linked comments, naughty jokes, and dirty references. Even the seemingly well-mannered ones will drop a hint or two if they’re interested.
