Many cues can be taken from a female’s body language. You can tell if a woman is interested in you just by what she does with her hands, eyes, and posture. It can also be easy to tell when a girl isn’t interested. She may close herself off, answer in short sentences, or avoid your gaze. If you aren’t sure if she is attracted to you, pay attention to how she acts around you and what her body is saying.
Here are 10 body language signs that a woman might be showing if she’s attracted to you:
1. An open posture and turned towards you
If a woman is interested in what you have to say, she’ll naturally turn her body towards you during a conversation. This is especially true if she’s in a crowded space where she has other options for who to focus her attention on. Crossed arms or legs can signal disinterest, but if her posture is relaxed and her body is turned towards you, it shows she’s engaged and interested in what you have to say.
2. Making eye contact and holding your gaze
If a woman makes eye contact with you and holds your gaze for a beat longer than usual, it could be a sign that she’s interested. Pay attention to her pupils – dilated pupils can sometimes indicate attraction.
3. Fixing up when she’s with you
A woman who is interested in you wants to look her best for someone she finds attractive. If a woman starts to subconsciously fix her hair, straighten her clothes, or apply makeup while talking to you, it could be a sign that she’s hoping to make a good impression.
4. Mirroring your movements
If a woman is mirroring your body language – crossing her arms when you cross yours, leaning in when you lean in – it could be a subconscious way of showing she’s on the same wavelength as you.
5. The playful touch
A light touch on the arm, shoulder, or back can be a playful way for a woman to show she’s comfortable with you and interested in getting closer (physically and emotionally). Of course, be sure to read the situation – if the touch seems hesitant or withdrawn, it might not mean what you think.
6. The nervous or shy laugh
A nervous laugh or shyness can be a sign that a woman is feeling a bit flustered in your presence. It’s kind of cute, isn’t it?
7. Leaning in
When someone is interested in what you have to say, they’ll often lean in closer to hear you better. This can be a physical way of closing the distance between the two of you and showing that she’s engaged in the conversation.
8. Her face lights up
A genuine smile that reaches her eyes is a sign of warmth and positivity. If she’s flashing you a lot of smiles, it’s a good indication that she’s enjoying your company. Pay attention to the type of smile too. A shy smile with averted eyes can be just as telling as a full-blown grin.
9. Playing with her hair
Twirling a strand of hair, tucking it behind her ear, or running her fingers through her hair can sometimes be a subconscious sign that a woman is feeling nervous or flirty.
10. A softer voice
Does her voice soften when she speaks to you? Does she laugh readily at your jokes? Is she engaged in the conversation, asking questions and following up on your points? Listen closely to how she talks to you.
These are all signs that she’s interested in getting to know you better.
