Hello!
Last semester, as part of our psychology group work we covered the fundamentals and basics of non verbal cues while flirting. This encompasses the techniques we subconsciously or consciously use while flirting with someone. For me, I personally feel that flirting is a 2 way process in which both parties show superficial or casual liking of interest.
First, lets talk about the non-verbal cues. This methods are proven to be 99.13% effective by expert flirt-ers from around the globe. For those wishing to learn a thing or two, please pay close attention and before you know it, you're the next new player! :D
Remember to never use corny pick up lines like:
(a) Are you tired? Because you have been running through my mind the whole day
(b) Is your parents a baker? Because you have great buns
(c) Did you just fart? Because you just blew me away
(d) Is your name summer? Because you are making me sweat
(e) Do you know CPR? Because you just took my breath away
but instead remember this non-verbal cues
1.Eye Contact
- the eyes are window to the soul
- making and holding eye contact, stealing quick glances and how you look at someone are all
important when flirting begins at the early stage
- try holding your target's gaze for more then 2 seconds. If he or she responds, good job! It is
likely that the feeling is mutual. :D if someone is stealing glances at you, it is likely that he/she
is interested in you.
- when listening to someone, you should glance at their face more but when speaking, try looking
away and then reestablishing a gaze after a few moments.
2. Interpersonal Distance
- The exact term would be proxemics which is the study of the distance at which people
communicate with each other.
- How close you stand to your target indicates how much you're interested.
3. Postures and gestures
- Non verbal leakage is leaking what you really feel through your body posture and how your
body is subconsciously acting.
- Postural Congruence is when the person you're talking mimics your posture
--Example in movies, when the couples chins are rested on their arms and they are gazing at
each others eyes when talking. Awww.
--Positive signs which include maintaining eye contact and pecks on the cheeks
4. Touch
- Brief touches on the arm, kisses on the cheeks, hugs, slaps and handshakes all have different
meanings
- The gentlest touch would have a lasting impression on someone
- Note that, it is important to touch somebody appropriately as touching excessively will turn the
other relationship off
Stay tuned, as we are about to talk about the verbal cues and the dating sins the following week and you may even end up like him;
