Many body language experts have reached the conclusion that minimum four signals have to be searched indicating similar thing before completely believing something. This is called the Rule of Four.
Body language in flirting
The flirting triangle : When we are looking at people that we are not conversant with, the eyes have a zig-zag motion. They look from eye to eye and across the bridge of the nose. In case of friends, the look drops below eye level. It moves in a triangle shape. The looker looks from eye to eye and also below down so that the nose and mouth are included. This triangle becomes bigger and widens at the bottom, when flirting is begun. As the intensity of the flirting increases, the more intense is the movement from eye to eye. More time is spent looking at their mouth. While talking is in progress, when the mouth is watched, it is very seductive. It is as if one of the speakers is imagining how it would be to kiss the other.
Blinking : When somebody is seen whom we like, the pupil size increases and so does the blink rate. To establish a good rapport, raise the blink rate and this will result in increasing the blink rate of the other person. The enhancement of both the blink rates will result in that both are more attracted to each other.
Pointing : There is a tendency to point towards the person we're interested in. When somebody is found attractive, subconsciously they are pointed with the hands, arms, legs and toes.
The eyebrow flash : When we are attracted towards somebody, the eyebrows rise and fall. When they are also attracted, their eyebrows also are raised. Many experts have the opinion that this is the most non-verbal sign of greeting by humans.
Mirroring : This means that it is essential to duplicate the behavior of the other person we are talking to. If they bend forward to talk to you, you have to bend in to meet them. When they move backwards to take a drop of the drink and look into the eye then the other person also has to repeat. The basic principle of mirroring is that any person likes another who is like them. When somebody is doing whatever we are doing, there is a feeling that we are on the same level as we are and in the same mood.
Sitting along with the arms crossed is generally considered as a defensive, stand-off posture. Search for clusters of behavior. When the arms are crossed and the lips are pursed disapprovingly, it means they are on the defensive.
If a woman often crosses the legs or lets them swing, it is called a sexually charged movement. The best movement is that when the legs are opened without meaning.
Well-groomed long fingers and well-painted nails are strong erotic signs.
If the pupil size becomes bigger, then it means that the person has liked the other person.
If a woman leans on the hand with the chin and the eyes seem to be thinking, this is not an indication that she is impressed by the appearance.
A smile has to be sufficiently wide so that minimum the front teeth are revealed. Otherwise, it may be a fake smile or a smile for the reason of being polite.
When a woman wets her lips often, this is a sexual sign, except when she has herpes.
A fast movement of the eye-lashes is the sign of the women who wish to overcome men of their own accord.
A woman grooming her hair with high care demonstrates that she has high levels of energy and intends to perform some family-friendly activities. One who regulates her hair tries to call men's attention to herself. Quick and nervy movements exhibit embarrassment or impatience.
Touching the edge of the glass with the fingers is a sexual sign as per Freudian psychologists. Elegant and caressing movement is a sign of intrinsic calmness, self-control and waiting. Creating a rhythm on the glass using the nails is a sign of impatience.
