Here are the top 10 signs she's flirting

Flirting is an important behavior that is both complex and fundamental. Everyone
in the world, at some point in their lives will need to acquaint themselves wit
h the art of flirtation if they want to experience the pleasures of the opposite
sex. While there are mountains of advice to guide men on how to flirt effective
ly, that s only half the story.
Men must also be able to recognize the signs she's flirting. While any one of th
ese visual cues taken alone often won't constitute a green light, a combination
of multiple flirtatious cues should pique your interest.
So, we've decided to lay down some distinct signs she's flirting with you, so yo
u can recognize the bait she's laid for your affections. Women can sometimes be
hard to read, but if you're armed with a guide to signs she's flirting, then you
're already one step ahead.
Number 10
She smiles
When a woman has an interest in you, her smile can hold your attention from acro
ss a crowded room and it is definitely one of the major signs she's flirting. It
takes an effort on her part to do so, so if she s exerting this kind of effort, e
ngage in her flirting by returning the smile.
Number 9
She keeps walking by
If it seems like she continues to walk by with apparently no sense of why she s th
ere, she s there for you. She s trying to get you to notice her with this obvious si
gn she's flirting, and you need to say something endearing. By walking past repe
atedly, perhaps out of her way, she s giving you a sense that she wants your atten
tion, but she's making you work for it.
Number 8
She draws attention to her mouth
A woman s mouth can be extremely seductive, and she s fully aware of this fact. Some
 of the effective signs she's flirting will have her applying lip gloss, running
her finger across her lip or using the straw in her cocktail instead of just si
pping from the glass. There is a tremendous amount of flirtatious energy tied up
in a woman s lips. Lips are flirting tools that are both potent and effective.
Number 7
She isolates herself
If, after having made eye contact, she strays from her pack, then she s trying to
flirt with you. Women know that the most difficult defense for a man to penetrat
e is her wall of friends and well-wishers. If she s specifically removing herself
from that fortress then this is one of the sure signs she's flirting and letting
you know she s lowering her defensive barriers to let you in.
Number 6
She mimics your body movements
For some reason, when human beings are interested or infatuated with each other,
they begin to pick up certain traits from the other person. If she s mimicking yo
ur mannerisms -- the way you hold a drink or the way you re sitting -- she may ver
y well be interested in gaining your attention and is giving you solid signs she
's flirting. Imitation is a rather high form of flattery, after all.

Number 5
She plays with her hair
While relatively simple and commonplace, in the right hands a woman's hair is a
versatile weapon. When trying to get your attention, she may twirl her hair in h
er fingers or let it cascade in front of one eye, adding a sense of come-hither
mystery to her persona.
Number 4
She touches you
The slight touch that sends chills up both your spines and makes your hair stand
on end is one of the hallmark signs she's flirting. When she reaches out and li
ghtly touches your forearm or shoulder, hand or wrist, you know you have a live
one. You need to reciprocate because there are few clearer signs she can provide
.
Number 3
She makes eye contact
It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and that through the
eyes truth can be gleamed. Eye contact is a sign of confidence and trust. She s s
tating that she is not interested in games and that her intentions are straightf
orward. The duration of the eye contact is proportional to her level of initial
interest.
Number 2
She enters your personal space
Personal space, by definition, is where others are not. When a woman enters this
space, say, brushing past you with a glance and a smile, she s inviting a respons
e with this sure sign she's flirting. The caliber and character of her invasion
will give you cues as to how you should respond.
Number 1
She approaches you to talk
Her approach may be closely tied to No. 2, but this cue takes it a step further.
Cutting through any game she may be playing, her approach and specific engageme
nt by speaking is playing her strongest flirting card. It allows her, while spea
king to you, to maintain eye contact, play with her hair, lightly touch you, and
mimic your mannerisms among other flirting techniques. If she s come over to talk
to you, she wants to know what you re all about. It s the first step in an intervie
w process called dating.
