How can you tell if someone is flirting or just friendly?

 Men and women can get it wrong as many of us cannot read the signs when others are being friendly or flirty. Women have their own special way of attracting, loving, and driving men totally crazy. That’s just what they are good at, and men often tend to overestimate women’s friendliness as a romantic interest, whereas women underestimate men’s sexual intentions and think men are just being nice when they are not. It is a fact that women like to flirt just to get friendly but that doesn’t mean she wants something more, so it is really important for you to understand the depth of her flirting because there is nothing wrong with the flirting.

However, flirting is hard to comprehend but it is not impossible. So, to help all of the men out there understand women's emotions, here are a few facts that will help you understand what she really wants and how to avoid the awkward moment when you thought she was flirting but in reality, she was just being nice.

1. Stare: Pay more attention to her eye contact is one way to know if she is being friendly or flirty. It is not a friendly gesture if she keeps staring at you without you knowing. Friendly eye contact is a glance, maybe a nod, or can be a usual ‘hi’. But flirty eye contact is prolonged with lowered eyelids (bedroom voice and eyes), playing with the hair, or smoothening their clothing includes a specific close interest of intimacy because one thing which is a fact is a woman is willing to not keep eye contact unless she is interested in you.

2. Attention: A woman gives you full attention when she is flirting with you. The truth is flirts are often very focused on the person they’re flirting with. She will laugh at your jokes even at the ones that barely qualify as funny jokes. She thinks you’re fascinating and awesome and wants you near all the time and why not since she really enjoys your company. Also, in some cases, it is the other way around. She may act like you don’t exist but have a huge crush on you, so she expects you to make the first move and when that doesn’t happen, flirting begins. She will always be wearing makeup and a good perfume as it works for men just to get your attention.

3. Touch: The moment you are attracted to a person – you crave physical contact and want to get physically closer to that person as it is human nature. It is known as the most common example of flirting. Stuff like touching, nibbling, grabbing your arm, or tapping you, hugging you for no reason, and then running arms around you like you are the one. Also, look out how she responds to your touch. Does she freeze up, laugh, and touch you back? If she responds positively to your touch, she’s feeling the vibes. If she kisses you, then it’s clear as crystal. But if she doesn’t give any of these signs then oh man! She was just being nice so don’t do or think anything stupid or you will ruin the good relationship you have with her.

4. Compliments: If are attracted to her, then you are going to hear nice compliments from her. Girls commonly never give compliments because they like getting one for themselves but when they do give it really comes from their heart. Compliments like you’re really hot and sexy or you are very cute, even you have a really cute butt. These are the sexual signs that guys have to pay attention to. Therefore, if you receive such compliments, such actions can be a sign of serious interest and flirting that she is really into you!

5. Conversations: It gets more advance when you spend so much time together talking about likes and dislikes because the more you talk, the more you come closer to that person. If she likes you, she will be telling you all about her personal life and secrets and asking you the same. She may even speak about sex and when that happens playfully or otherwise; it’s a sign of being flirty as sex rarely comes up in a friendly conversation when there is a girl. In-depth questions like what do you want out of life or are you open to dating or to be a relationship. Such questions are a clear sign of healthy flirting.
