Flirting techniques used by women

Rob writes, "I am confused about when people say that if a woman approaches you it is a positive sign that she has an interest in you. Does that mean the woman must speak to you when she approaches you or just coming into your vicinity/area is an invitation for you to speak to her? Why is this a positive sign? Is this a more positive sign than eye-contact and so on? What about other body language?"

How do women show their interest in a man or how do they "flirt"?

Women have a different style of communication than men. They tend to be more subtle and indirect. Thus, all signs that you have mentioned (eye contact, approaching someone, changing location in a room to be closer to someone of interest, etc.) are very positive indicators. She is definitely ready for a flirtatious move by you. Or in other words, you must approach her. You do not have to wait for her to actually speak to you. As a man, it is generally expected that you will take the next step by starting a polite conversation (I would say that you stay away from those stupid pickup lines type starters). Be creative and make your conversation very relevant to the specific situation.

What style a woman chooses to flirt is a matter of personality, individual preference, and cultural background.

How should a man respond when a woman wants to flirt?

  1. Be playful, but don't be cheap or obnoxious.
  2. Don't draw too many conclusions when you see signs of flirting. Take one step at a time. Just because a woman is flirting with you, it does not imply that she is ready to go home with you. Some women are flirtatious by nature, others just like to tease, and yes, some women use it as the first step to tell a man that he is on their radar screen.
  3. Be prepared to respond if you have misread the signal. In fact, always work with the hypothesis that while it was a positive sign but you will still need to confirm that she is romantically interested in you. If you misread, don't just cut off the conversation and dump her. Be polite; maybe you will find her to be a great conversation partner for the duration of the event. Women are also drawn to men that someone has already found to be attractive/interesting. So talking to her would attract other women towards you or she might introduce you to someone else if she finds you interesting enough.
