Body Language Flirting: How to Know When a Guy Likes a Girl
How do you know when a guy is flirting with you? Understanding body language flirting is essential for Christian singles.
What exactly is body language flirting? It’s basically a collection of all the nonverbal clues a guy (whether he be a Christian or not) gives out when he’s interested in woman. Just to be clear, not all body language flirting is a conscious decision on the part of the single guy, but may in fact be a subconscious behavior.
Therefore, the more a woman knows how a guy flirts with body language, the greater her chances of picking up when a guy is actually interested in her. Of course, knowing how to tell when a guy is flirting is an important skill to have, especially if there is mutual attraction.
Top Body Language Flirting Signs
Okay, let’s say you’re at a Christian singles group gathering, and there are a bunch of cute guys (Hey, we can dream, right?) in the room. Here are some body language flirting signs to look for:
Body Language Flirting Sign #1: Smiling
When a guy flashes you those pearly whites, (well, we hope they’re white) that usually means he’s pleased to have you in his company. Just make sure he’s smiling at you, and not the girl behind you. Have you ever done that before?
Body Language Flirting Sign #2: Modeling
What? Well behavioural scientists say when someone is body language flirting they subconsciously “model or line up” with the behaviour of the person of interest. Examples here could be having their feet pointed in the same direction, crossing or uncrossing of legs, blinking, cracking knuckles, etc.
Body Language Flirting Sign #3: Making Frequent Eye Contact
Two simple points here: First, all guys (including Christian guys) are attracted by sight, and have a healthy appreciation for the female attributes, including a woman’s eyes, face and figure. If a guy denies this fact, he’s a liar and probably not the kind of guy you want around anyway.
Secondly, the eyes often give away the heart’s intentions. There are different types of eye contact you should look out for, depending on the personality of the guy. If you have a sweet, shy guy on your hands, he may attempt to sneak a peak at you without you realizing it. Then when you turn in his direction, he may get red faced, or quickly look in a different direction. The second kind of eye contact is the kind a guy with confidence and boldness will practice. He has no problem making extended eye to eye contact. Do you know the type?
Body Language Flirting Sign #4: Grooming Self
This body language flirting sign includes doing such things as fixing collars, pulling up socks, straightening ties. This is the male ego’s way of preparing himself for the hunt.
Body Language Flirting Sign #5: Strutting
The guy will stand up straight, with shoulders back and chest out. Some single gals I know refer to this ritual as the “Peacock Strut”. Some girls out there are saying, “yep, I’ve seen that before.”
Well there you have our top five body language flirting hints that guys will do around girls they like. Being aware of these may help any Christian single girl whose in “the market” for a nice Christian guy.
One disclaimer here: If a guy exhibits only one or two body language hints, don’t jump to hasty conclusions. Make sure you interpret these body language flirt signs cumulatively, not individually. Otherwise, you may misinterpret a man’s intentions, which could put you in an embarrassing situation.
Are you a Christian single person with something to share about body language flirting?

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!
