   Hi there. I have a body language flirting comment with regard to your point about “Eye Contact”. I believe that making eye contact is also a sign of respect and openness, even if I have no interest. i suppose there is a difference between “normal making eye contact” and “frequent eye contact”. Perhaps you could clarify this for our readers. My girlfriend sometimes thinks that when i make normal eye contact with strangers, especially with females, that i am body language flirting with them, and that is definitely not the case. Please help as i do not know how to explain this to her, as she always points me to websites like this and statements like yours about body language flirting could be doing damage to our relationship.

   Honest Guy- In regard to flirting signs you are absolutely right that eye contact is a sign of respect. I work in the wedding business, and so interact with “young couples” regularly. I make a point of keeping an even amount of eye contact with BOTH the men and women, to make it very clear that my attention is theirs but my intentions are open and honest. The “eye contact” referred to in the article is definitely of a different kind (flirting signs) and you would know if you were participating in it. There is a very big difference between flirting and the other stuff that should be obvious to your girlfriend. If not, insecurity on her part is the issue.

   Ok so i have a question about body language flirting.. i have this psychotherapist, and I want to know if he is flirting with me and interested, because all my friends say he is and alot of the body language flirting signs point to yes. He’s always fixing his hair in front of me, looking at himself in the mirror, giving me late appointments when we’ll be the only two people left, making me laugh and always asking about my days and how work has been and always smiling. When i lay on my stomach and look in his direction he tilts his head and smiles and cracks little jokes about how “short” i am. Also, when he asks a question and i answer he leans in closer to listen and he remembers everything i tell him. He also laughs a lot about like almost every little joke i say even sometimes if its not meant to be a joke. Lately he’s been asking my weekends and what i’ll be doing for the weekend to come and whatnot. Also, when i do exercises for my back and neck, he shows me how to do them but by touching me; meaning that he’ll put his hands on my or hold them and touching my face. what does this mean?? HELP!

   My husband is fully aware that a mutual friend “wants” him. He claims he has no interest but due to smoking ban, I often find him outside smoking alone with this female. Isn’t he feeding into her desire by being alone with her? WhenI go out they are giggling lie teenagers and then stop when they see me. Curious!

   Small question, strictly out of curiosity. there’s a boy who sits behind me in my pre-calc class. i think he’s flirting with me (i’m definitely flirting with him) but i’m not sure. he pokes me alot (i’m VERY ticklish) and seems to always be interested in talking to me. we joke around and there have been a few incidents that have left me puzzled.
   He doesn’t do any of the things mentioned above (except for smiling and eye contact, but he’s a friendly guy) but my parents seem to think that he’s showing interest in me.
   Any ideas?

   I think that almost all guys are diffrent and a lot of guys look at me a lot and talk to me but i dont really proccess that it is flirting and so i dont flirt back. im kinda shy and there are a lot of girls at my school and they are way more straight forward than me so now they have the guys that originally all looked liked me i guess from your page. what should i do?

    Dear Alicia,

    Everyone has a differernt idea about what flirting truly is. It can be very obvious or hardly noticable at all. When a guy talks to you, just try to have a natural conversation. See where it goes. I think that when sparks are there you will know it. You will automatically be more aware of your conversation, your body language. That is flirting! You don’t have to think about it, orchestrate it. If he makes you feel like smiling, give him your best smile. Let God shine through you and guys will see that. It is hard to resist when it is sincere.

    God Bless,

    Jodi

    there is this guy in my class that sometimes stares at me and then when i try to talk to him he act likes he doesn’t like me at all. like when we walk in the hall(not together) i walked up to him and asked him a HW question for math and after he answered he sped up like he was trying to get away from me. does he like me or not? and when we leave the lunch room he speeds up to get out when the bell rings. What is that?

    i like this guy who goes to my church but havent spoke to him. I did smile at him as a hint and he did catch it!! but when he comes to church he has this good smile and sits either infront of me or behind me. once he had one of his friend with him and said that i like him and so did he say the same to another guy too!! also the same day he made an eye contact with me if u wil take it that way!! bcause it was like he lookind at me directly so i guess it was an eye contact. but please tell me if he likes me or not thanxs

    There’s this guy who is 14. He has a girlfriend who is my best friends. He was flirting with me! I felt bad. He wanted to make his girlfriend jealous by touching my face. Then he touched my face and he was lik “I’m just saying but your face is REALLY soft. ” Im just lik okay??? then he wrote his name all over my arm. He even asked me to sit by him when we were eating at church! What I can’t believe is that he may lik me and I’m only 11(lots of ppl say I look mature for my age), and he know it!! He is trying to cover it up by dating I should date his friends. One of them asked me out. I’m like well would your other friend like me? Hes like I know he would. I’m like why? And he said. Ummmm wellllll he has this thing for blondes. ( sounding lik he knew he made a mistake).

    Ok so any suggestions???

    In your opinion, does he lik me?

    This dude seems WAY too open. Not to burst your bubble, but dudes generaly try to conceal affection. (I do!) Thos could mean that he’s using you. (or hes the perfect open minded person.) The last remark is a sad attempt to learn about the other girl. Definatly usin you. Sorry hon.

    I met the most amazing guy that ever blew my mind last night due to alot of drama that I escaped from and a koolaid stained dress…. I was looking for napkins and suprise, suprise. I found him. We talked the rest of the night, everyone said I looked gorgeous and he shyly told me I looked pretty, and exchanged numbers and hugs. He texted me later that night saying he was very glad he met me tonight and that i looked beautiful…. and whenever we see each other it’s shy glances cause i’m shy and he’s shy. I’m thinking of making of move. But i’m scared…. help?!
    I cant stop thinking about him…. and I try every oppurtunity to stop and talk to him. Should I ask him this weekend to go somewhere.. even though we just met? Although all my friends say he really likes me— I can’t read him and I don’t want to misinterpret him. I figured this weekend i’m going to tell him I feel something between us and if he takes it then I guess we’ll go from there. I want to be bold !

    Here’s my question:
    I have a girlfriend currently, but there is this guy who keeps on flirting with her and I’m pretty sure he likes her.

    I’ve caught him staring at her multiple times from across the room and when IWASN’T AT CHURCH LAST NIGHT, the first thing he did was walk across the way to talk to my girlfriend….am I just paranoid?

    Or do you agree with me?
