Some girls can't help but flirt. It doesn't matter who they're talking to or how they like the looks of him, get them talking to any guy and their eyelashes will start to flutter.
.
You can't really blame them. If all it took for me to get my own way was to giggle and thrust my chest out, I don't think I'd ever stop.
.
But it's not much help to us men.
.
We've all read articles about female body language. We know how to spot if a girl is flirting with us and we've been told that means that she fancies us. Now it turns out that that isn't necessarily true.
.
So how do you go about recognizing which are the compulsive flirts and which girls are genuinely hot for you?
.
Well, this article is about to tell you.
.
The first thing to remember is that some body language cannot be faked. Sure, she can twirl her hair and hold your gaze, but there are certain signals which only genuinely interested girls give out.
.
Start by looking into her eyes. If she likes the looks of you her eyebrows will twitch momentarily upwards in greeting and her pupils will quickly dilate. Her focus will begin darting between your left and right eyes and occasionally down to your lips.
.
Check her skin. If her blood's pumping excitedly, her neck and chest will become slightly flushed and she may be more prone to blushing. You might also notice she's stroking her own chest, arm or face slowly and seductively - any rhythmic caressing of her self is an absolute give away that this girl is really into you.
.
Finally, look for mirroring. If you've both turned your shoulders and legs so you're facing each other, you know you've made a connection. You are also likely to start reaching for your drinks at the same time, or simultaneously sorting your hair.
.
Now let's go beyond body language and look at her behavior.
.
You see, while compulsively flirty girls are after your attention, they're also after the attention of every other man in the room. A woman who is genuinely into you, on the other hand, only needs you notice her and will focus all of her energies on making sure that happens.
.
There are various ways in which girls try to get your attention. She may ask you to dance. If you insist that she dances without you, she will spend the whole song glancing your way to check that you're watching. She may pull out a few extra sexy moves designed to get your heart thumping.
.
Try talking to another girl, whether a friend or the bartender. If the flirty girl suddenly appears at your side or you notice her watching intently, you can be sure that she's feeling jealous. She's trying her best to impress you tonight and won't want to share your attention with anyone.
.
On the other hand, if you catch her giggling and whispering with your guy friends, don't assume the worst. Girls know they need your mates' seal of approval so by doing her best to get them to like her, she's trying to ensure that you will, too.
.
And finally, if she leans in close and starts telling you her secrets, you know that you've scored. By creating an aura of intimacy between you she is allowing herself to relax - and nothing is more important than that if you're planning on taking her home.
