You talk all the time, but 90 percent of communication is nonverbal. So what does that mean when it comes to your eye candy? A guy can tell if you like him, not based on what you say, but by small gestures and movements. So when you’re flirting, be aware of your body language because it’s telling him a lot. Here are a few subtle tricks to show him you’re interested:

 

Touch his arm. If you’re laughing at a joke he just told, placing your hand on his shoulder shows him that you like having him near and keeps you out of the friend zone.
 
Eye contact. Keeping eye contact means that you’re listening and genuinely interested.
 
Posture. Sitting up straight shows you’re confident and you want him to talk to you. Slouching shows lack of interest and crossing your arms can be a defensive position. Translation: he will think you don’t want him around.
 
Smile. Showing your pearly whites is open and welcoming and shows that you enjoy his company. 
 
Lean in. Getting close to him makes everything a little more personal. Face his direction to show you’re into him.
 
Fiddle with your hair. When people are nervous, they fidget. Guys know this, and when you coyly run your hands through your hair or flip it behind your shoulder, he’ll notice.
 
Raise your brows. You probably do it without noticing, but when you see something you like (like a cute guy) you raise your eyebrows slightly. Keeping them slightly raised for a moment longer shows how expressive you are. Plus, he might get the idea you think he’s cute, which is the whole point of flirting!

MOD!
Could some of these tips apply to guys flirting with girls? For example, if my crush were to tap my shoulder when he passes me, would that be flirting? Thanks!

 

Hey girlie, the answer is yes! These definitely work both ways!

I'm 15, in high school, and i'm in love with one of my teachers. I know that nothing could happen and its illegal and wrong and i would never try anything, but i can't get over him. lately, i realized that i've been doing some crazy and dangerous things just to get his attention. please help.

 

Hey girl, be very very careful about that one. There's nothing wrong with having a crush on a teacher, just don't let it get out of hand. Have the crush, but don't do anything that you would regret!! Just be yourself.

MOD MOD MOD!!
I have a huge crush on my friend. He is one grade below me and we have gym class together and we also hang out a lot, and he always tickles me in front of my friends, and right now we are skyping. I really want to ask him out, and all my friends think I should too...I just don't know how to do it without freaking him out, and being casual about it. Help Please!! Thanks Smile

Hey girl,

If you want to ask him out, there's no rush, so if you want to wait a little while and be friends first, there's nothing wrong with that! If you want to ask him out, I would do it in person and say you still want to be friends no matter how he feels. Good luck!

Those are great tips for flirting. I think if you can flirt without talking and it involves physical things like touching his arm or shoulder that means so much more because when we say things that we want to sound flirtatious sometimes it doesnt come out that way.

I am going to use these tips before school gets put for break, I'll let you know how it well the tips work.
