7 ways to flirt without saying a word


You talk all the time, but 90 percent of communication is nonverbal. So what does that mean when it comes to your eye candy? A guy can tell if you like him, not based on what you say, but by small gestures and movements. So when you’re flirting, be aware of your body language because it’s telling him a lot. Here are a few subtle tricks to show him you’re interested.
Touch his arm. If you’re laughing at a joke he just told, placing your hand on his shoulder shows him that you like having him near and keeps you out of the friend zone.
Eye contact. Keeping eye contact means that you’re listening and genuinely interested.
Posture. Sitting up straight shows you’re confident and you want him to talk to you. Slouching shows lack of interest and crossing your arms can be a defensive position. Translation: he will think you don’t want him around.
Smile. Showing your pearly whites is open and welcoming and shows that you enjoy his company. 
Lean in. Getting close to him makes everything a little more personal. Face his direction to show you’re into him.
Fiddle with your hair. When people are nervous, they fidget. Guys know this, and when you coyly run your hands through your hair or flip it behind your shoulder, he’ll notice.
Raise your brows. You probably do it without noticing, but when you see something you like (like a cute guy) you raise your eyebrows slightly. Keeping them slightly raised for a moment longer shows how expressive you are. Plus, he might get the idea you think he’s cute, which is the whole point of flirting!
