A Guide To 10 Ways That Girls Flirt

By Victoria Robertson on December 26, 2014

We hear over and over again how mysterious the female mind is. No matter what we’re thinking, men have absolutely no idea how to interpret.

So, to help all of you confused guys out a little bit, here is a guide to 10 ways that girls flirt.

1. Physical Contact:

If she makes contact with you in any way, she’s interested. A girl that’s disinterested will avoid contact at any cost and look like she’s ready to run away the second you stop talking. So if she touches you, brushes your arm or nonchalantly moves closer, you’ve got a girl that’s physically attracted to you.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Move away every time she moves closer. She’ll catch on eventually.

2. The Hair Flip:

Why you fall for this, I’ll never know. But lo and behold, it always works. Maybe it’s the amount of time we spend doing our hair or maybe it’s just Maybelline; either way, the hair flip is our way of grabbing your attention, because everyone knows we aren’t going to do it by talking.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Ask why she keeps doing that. Suggest she may need to see a doctor about her neck problem. Let her talk her way through that one.

3. Laughing … An Insane Amount Of Laughing:

Granted, this isn’t our best move, but for some reason, when we’re flirting, we can’t stop. Laughing lets you know we’re interested, we’re listening and we share the same sense of humor. It may come as a shock to you, but some of your jokes just aren’t funny. But when we’re flirting, you’ll never know which ones.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Wait until she’s done laughing, then deadpan and say, “that wasn’t meant to be funny.” The look on her face: priceless.

4. Jealousy:

Again, not one of our best moves, and again, not exactly one that’s voluntary. But jealousy should be taken as a compliment, because if we aren’t extremely jealous of every girl moving in on you, we just aren’t interested. That’s a level of crazy you don’t want to mess with; it’s best to just accept it.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Start talking about the next girl you see then continually point out how jealous the girl you’re with is getting. Nothing gets rid of a girl faster than accusing her of being jealous.

5. Sharing Interests:

I promise you, if you bring up your favorite NFL team while a girl is flirting with you, *shocker* it’s her favorite team too. We like to make it seem like we have things in common with you, and if you love the Colts, we’re going to say we love them too and pray you don’t ask any specific questions.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Ask her any question about what she just agreed she’s interested in. If she’s lying, you’ll know immediately and have an excuse to leave. If not … good luck.

6. Complaining About The Way She Looks:

We do this more often than I’d like to admit. Also called fishing for compliments, women will complain about the way they look so that a guy will tell them how pretty they are. This isn’t just used for a confidence boost, but also allows us to gauge how attractive you think we are.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Agree with her complaint. For an added bonus, compare her to another girl. You won’t ever have to worry about her talking to you again.

7. Smiling:

Our face isn’t broken, I promise. A real smile is the most sincere form of flirting you’re going to come across when it comes to females. If the smile looks forced, she’s not interested. But if the smile is genuine and there’s a sparkle in her eyes, you’ve got her hook, line and sinker.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Let her down easy. She’s obviously extremely interested in you. Don’t be a jerk.

8. Bringing Up An Ex:

Despite popular belief, females don’t bring up exes because they’re hung up on them. Instead, there could be many different meanings: trying to see if you are currently attached, naming what we don’t want right off the bat, fishing to hear what your exes were like, trying to make you jealous, etc.

If a girl brings up her ex bf, pay attention, because it always means more than it may seem.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Suggest her ex sounds like a good guy. That’ll turn her away real quick.

9. Asking A Million Questions:

We don’t know we’re being annoying; we’re really just trying to learn more about you. If we are asking you an unbelievable amount of questions in a small amount of time, take this as a large compliment. And don’t lie, we know you like talking about yourself anyway.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Start ignoring her questions, pretend you can’t hear her, give her one word answers; really, the sky is the limit here, so go nuts.

10. Making An Exit:

By this point, we’ve already given you our number, made vague plans to meet again and completed most of the moves on this list. So to keep your attention even when we’re walking away, we swing our hips more dramatically, let our hair sway back and forth down to the small of our back and, most importantly, don’t look back to see if you’re watching. We know you are.

**Tip if you aren’t interested: Don’t look. She’s already leaving; you’re already past the hard part. Now enjoy the rest of your night.

All women have different ways they like to flirt, but these 10 techniques are some of the most common you’ll come across. So keep these insights and tips in mind moving forward and you will be the resident flirting expert.
