8 Signs Someone Is Flirting With You

How can you tell if someone is giving you the eye? It’s down to knowing the signs someone is flirting with you instead of misunderstanding it all!
Sometimes the line between flirting and friendliness can be blurry. If you want to avoid an awkward misunderstanding, it’s vital that you know the signs someone is flirting with you rather than just being a friendly soul!
Of course, every person on this planet of ours is different. Everyone flirts in a slightly different way. One person might find they automatically blush when you walk into the room. Another person might be completely different and act completely off-hand, while feeling anything but that inside.
# They make lingering eye contact
If you like someone, you automatically make eye contact. This is because you just can’t take your eyes away from them. Occasionally you’ll lose yourself in the moment and look for a second longer than you should.
If you’re noticing someone is making eye contact with you in this way on a regular basis plus you can tick off a few other signs I’m going to mention, it’s a good nod towards flirtation.
# They glance your way often
When they’re not making eye contact, you might find someone glances your way often. In this case, you’re always catching their eye. They might look away shyly, like they’ve been caught in the act. This is one of the main signs someone is flirting with you!
# They fidget when they’re around you
Are they always nervous or fidgety around you? It could be because they’re crushing hard! Look out for them playing with their clothes. Perhaps tugging on their sleeve or messing with their earrings. This is a sign of general nervousness. We tend to show it when we’re around people we like in a romantic way.
# They bite or lick their lips
The lips are considered to be quite sexual. So, if someone is drawing attention to them when they’re around you, it’s probably because they’re flirting! So, look out for licking of the lips, usually accompanied by eye contact or lip biting in a nervous or fidgety way. If this is happening, it’s one of the signs someone is flirting with you. Be sure to check for eye contact or glances too, just to be sure.
# They either give regular compliments or tease you
This could go either way. Someone who is flirting will either give you regular compliments or tease you and give occasional compliments. If the teasing is done in a lighthearted, joking way, accompanied with a smile, put it down to flirtation.
# They make excuses to touch you lightly
Gentle nudges, playful punches on the arm, slight stroking of the arm, these are all flirtation signs. If someone is doing this to you, possibly even without realizing it, it’s probably because they have feelings or urges that aren’t simply platonic!
# Their body language is open
If you’re around someone you don’t like or you’re nervous for another reason, you show closed body language. This means, your body language is defensive. If someone is mirroring your standing or sitting position, their general stance is open and relaxed, it’s possible that they feel comfortable around you. Along with other points on the list, this is a major sign someone is flirting with you.
# There is a visible reaction when they see you
Think back to times in the past when you’ve crushed hard on someone and they walked into the room. You probably reacted without even realizing it. Maybe your breath caught for a second, you blushed, you smiled, or your eyebrows shot up to your hairline. Look for small reactions whenever you walk into a room if you suspect someone is flirting.
