How to Let Him Know You’re Interested – 10 Ways to Flirt With a Man
By Jasmine Jones
Can you flirt with a man and playfully encourage him to pursue you? Do you know how let him know you’re interested in him?
If not, maybe I can help…You see, flirting comes naturally to some women, but others have no idea how to let a man know they’re interested. A particular man may find a certain woman attractive and yet be reluctant to approach her for fear of rejection. Women hate to come on too strong, but they need to find classy ways to give guys some encouragement.
Gentlemen may seem aloof. Some even try not to seem interested so as to avoid looking desperate. A woman who learns to send the subtle signals that encourage a man to approach her will make it easy for men to approach her and enjoy a far more satisfying social life.
With a bit of thought, any woman can come up with creative ways to flirt with a guy who seems attractive. The art of the gentle hint is the key to beginning a relationship that may lead to a rewarding romantic relationship. Consider these ideas of how to flirt with a man:
1. Make eye contact
If you are in a public place where people frequently approach others, whether in a club, a store or even a church, look into your target’s eyes and then quickly look away. Do not give the impression that you are staring, but repeat the glance until the man meets your eyes briefly.
2. Keep your body language open
If the fellow is interested, he is watching you whether you notice him or not, so do nothing that he might perceive as negative. Avoid crossing your arms or legs or turning away from him or even moving sharply, and do not appear uncomfortable or discontented.
3. Keep your facial expression positive
Just as your body language should not discourage contact, neither should your mood give a man the idea that your might snap a refusal if he approaches you. Smile and appear relaxed and genuine, and the gentleman will feel more comfortable coming over and having a word with you than if you are weepy or scowling.
4. Play with your hair
The trick to encouraging a man who is hovering on the edge of approaching you to actually make a move is to appear relaxed and friendly. Twirling a strand of hair around your finger is a playful gesture that gives the impression the your are in the mood for fun, and might be in the mood to meet the fellow watching you.
5. Draw attention to your mouth
This is another way to let a fellow know you are feeling happy and playful and might be in the mood for his company. If food is available, nibbling neatly or sipping through a straw will do the trick, but even in an environment without food or drink it is possible to trace your lip with your finger or tap it with a pen.
6. Laugh like a lady
A lady’s mood is one of the most important factors a guy takes into account when deciding whether she would be receptive to his company. Smiling and laughing lets him know that your mood is already positive, and it gives your personality an attractive sparkle.
7. Say something funny
When a guy finally does approach you, he halfway expects to be rebuffed, and so he is very tense. The quickest way to dispel the tension so you can get to know one another better is to say something humorous yet welcoming that allows you both to relax and leads into a deeper conversation.
8. Find an excuse to touch him
When you have decided that you would like your relationship to go beyond a few minute’s conversation, one of the best ways to signal the gentleman is to touch him. Dance, lean close and blame crowded theater seats or even read his palm, as long as you manage to make physical contact.
9. Lean in close
Physical proximity creates an atmosphere of intimacy, so take advantage of noise or cold or even uncertain footing to get close to the guy. This encourages him to touch you in return and to think about moving the relationship in a positive direction.
10. Whisper
This serves the duel purposes of encouraging a man to get close to you so as to hear what you are saying and of creating a more intimate atmosphere by giving the impression that what you are saying is meant only for his ears and yours. Low voices give a guy the idea that your conversation is composed of the sort of sweet nothings that area exchanged between people whose relationship is developing in a positive direction.
The most important part of flirting is assessing the guy’s response. If his facial expression is negative, if he moves away or if you can’t get his attention, then he is not the man for you, at least not tonight. Knowing how to flirt with a man does you no good if the man is disinterested, so move along and find someone else. Or better yet, wait for him to find you!
Keep in mind that the guy with whom you choose to flirt has a personality different from any other man on earth, and that his moods may vary from moment to moment. Tailor your approach to the gentleman’s persona: whether he is urbane or down-to-earth, artistic or practical tells you a lot about how to let a man know you’re interested in him. Watch his responses and work off them, and you may soon be involved in the romance of your life.
