Non verbal communication can be anything from expressions, to body language, and and paralinguistic! and of course there are many more.

Just picking up and moving in to another direction from my last post, we will look at the female and male's body language when it comes to flirting. Hehe :P

Body Language is actually a nonverbal communication expressed by posture, stance, and bodily movement.

In general, these are the type of the body language expressed when one is falling in love.
( Note to people: Please dont take this too seriously. It might not be all true for everyone and i wont be held responsible if anything you take from this blows up in your face! :D )

• Smiling more and longer

If you have noticed that your special someone is smiling at you more or if the smile lingers for a while, then he or she is probably falling for you.

• Laughing more

You might realize that your mate has suddenly started laughing at more of your jokes and funny expressions. This is a sign that he or she is paying more attention to you and is appreciating you much more than before falling in love with you.

• Touching more

When talking, does your significant other touch you on the shoulder or hand in comfort much more? Touching the small part of your back if you are girl while walking through an entrance or hugging more are two other signs.

• Staring

People who have fallen in love with someone have a hard time concentrating on other people and things; you may catch your special someone staring at you out of the corner of your eye. This person may have a smile on his or her face and turn away quickly.

Now to narrow things a little.

These are the signs that a guy might be flirting with you. I just picked a few which i found interesting.

• Hands on hips - Guys instinctively will try to make themselves look bigger. This masculine approach is supposed to be link to mans ancestry to ward off competition and impress the female. combined with hooking the thumbs behind his belt can be pulled off by a confident male.
• Lend you his coat or jacket - Chivalry is still alive, just perhaps less noticeable nowadays. A great sign of flirting with a very personable touch. We know girls who would die for this to happen. A little favourite of girls in case you guys are interested.(Haha, i was shocked when i read this. It reminded me of someone, who? no need to know. Maybe its a sign as for all day for me to read this , it just had to be today! WOW!) ( If your wondering what i'm talking about and still dont know then your just not meant to know :P)
  
• Whisper and lean - A very good flirting technique to 'test' the waters as well. Girls love a secret and find the intimacy quite inviting with the right guy.
• Engages in direct eye contact.
• Casually touches you.

Now, signs of a girl possibly flirting with you.

• She keeps glancing over - Its human nature we keep looking towards who we are attracted to. The trick is to find out as some girls can be prone to avoid the one they are attracted to. Of course they cannot make it easy for you guys. So don't despair if you can't see her looking initially - she may be without you knowing!. (Haha, Im sure many girls can relate to this)
  
• Crossing and uncrossing her legs - This is great flirting language. Look for the other great move of her straightening her skirt yet showing a little more leg. (Haha. I can tell you now it doesnt always apply! Cause i like crossing and uncrossing my legs whether it's during a meal or in class!)
• Accidentally brushes past you - We both have seen this one so many times at the speed dating events, especially later in the night. We are amazed how many times guys do not pick up on it though. You have to be aware of everything happening!(Yeah people! Wake up, Realise! dont la be so Blur!)
• Casually touches to your arm, shoulder, thigh, or hand. (All i can say is, whoppsss! :P)
