5 Simple, Non-Obvious Ways to Tell If Someone Is Flirting With You

This post will not deal with “common” signs: looks, caresses and smiles. There are many other, less obvious nuances that also provide a more accurate view of each situation. By the way, according to psychologists, both men and women are not very good at telling the difference between flirting and friendship, but for different reasons. The first group tends to overestimate female affection, seeing it as if there is a sexual interest behind the affectionate actions. While women, on the other hand, often tend to downplay men’s attitudes and miss the sexual connotations in the conversation, taking the relationship to the side of friendship.

we from awesome.club we are convinced that everyone, at least once in their lives, has been confused by some attitudes of people they have just met. So, let’s show you the top 5 differences between friendship and flirting, so you can protect yourself from embarrassing situations in the future.

While our desire is to constantly demand 100% mutual honesty, the very birth of any relationship often begins with lies. This is due to the fact that we have a great desire to look the most like each other. We seek to earn respect, impress and make others empathize with us. So if your friend isn’t a pathological liar—obviously—some answers that aren’t entirely sincere to some questions may reveal that this person is trying to please you and fears that the truth will lead to rejection or disappointment on your part.

This kind of attitude is one of the most accurate indicators. If during a conversation the interlocutor places special emphasis on the fact that he is “free and open to a new relationship”, directly or indirectly, as someone who doesn’t want anything, have no doubts: these phrases came out on purpose. On the other hand, if you both talk calmly and openly about your partner or, as mentioned in the first point, about other potential suitors, it means that this relationship is based on a relationship of simple friendship and your friend is putting the cards on the table because not afraid of losing a possible romantic interest on your part.

In your opinion, how much attention do you need? A person who is romantically interested in you will respond that they need your undivided attention. The person in love, in general, automatically tries to fill with his presence all the time and all the “space” of the person he wants, he tries to listen to him and know more about him. If we don’t take into account situations where it ends up being exorbitant and even exaggerated, this behavior usually serves to make you feel special. At parties, this person seeks you out, approaches you often, tries to take you to a less crowded place, and asks about your mutual friends. You can be sure: it’s not just a simple desire to continue the friendship.

With a friend, we can share anything, tell about our personal life and the people who interest us or who are interested in us. In some cases, it may appear that this is done to cause jealousy, but in practice, it is unlikely. At the same time, one thing turns out to be true: if everything happens exactly the other way around and the person actively communicates with you, while clearly vetoing any topic related to other members of the opposite sex, then he is interested. And, being so, it will try to build an image impossible to have doubts, placing you as the only man or woman in its field of vision.

Things are simpler than we think: play between adults takes place in much the same way as when we were children and wanted to get someone’s attention. It’s a relaxed and fun way to turn friendly conversation into romantic flirtation. It doesn’t matter if the person jokes about something that happened during the week, or adds a comic touch to what you said at the last meeting (while emphasizing that you listen carefully). All this reveals the same thing. Did a friend who fits that description come to mind?

DO you still have doubts? So here we show you two final and more accurate ways to put everything in its place.

Pay attention to the way the person communicates. It is possible for your acquaintance to communicate in this way with everyone and it costs you nothing to praise someone who comes your way. But if with others he behaves in a clearly different way, it means that you are not really indifferent to him.

Try to flirt and pay attention to your reaction. It’s a harmless, banal flirtation: a smile, a touch, an eye contact. This tactic is very easy to “escape” if something doesn’t fit, and at the same time it doesn’t make you feel embarrassed, because no one can tell for sure if you were flirting or just in a good mood. If the person really has some interest, he will be even more relaxed and forgiving.
