your object of affection, then when you are sure she
is looking, return your gaze, then as you connect
eyes, blink slowly and as you reopen your eyes add
an honest, symmetrical smile. The effects can be
intense! Women might be as overt as to offer a full
on wink, but this would be an exception and
reserved for more aggressive women. Most often
women will send fleeting glances with fluttering
eyes and batting eyelashes over full winks.
HER TEETH
Women tend to bare their teeth when they become
aroused. There is nothing more exciting than a
mouth full of teeth. Well, maybe there is! The point
is that women who are aroused will have a larger
smile and show more teeth. If however, she forms a
pouting smile she is overtly asking for a kiss. Take
the chance while you have it.
THE FOREHEAD BOW
The forehead bow is a position of submissiveness.
It occurs when a woman lowers her head, then looks
up at a man from under her eyebrows. It’s a sort of
“come hither” look and could occur while eating
dinner or while reading. It is akin to a full body
bow which is used around the world to show
respect. In contrast, the opposite could occur where
the head is tilted backwards and a downward gaze is
cast upon the other person. It is best pictured as
looking down one’s nose at someone and comes off
as a direct threat.
Lip puckering is a very obvious signal of attraction and is
a particularly good indicator that she is prepared to kiss
Dave. Her eyes may or may not be directed toward Dave
but the signal is still the same. However, this cue should
be used in association with other cues before any action is
taken. Some women naturally pucker all the time, as they
are trying to attract attention from men.
CHEWING RATE
This is a strong indicator of interest. Scarlett is
performing what is called the forehead bow. It occurs
when the head is tilted downwards and the person of
interest is looked up at “through” the forehead. It is akin
to what happens in Asian cultures with the bow. She is
also delivering two other signals. Can you identify them?
The next is open legs. The greater the leg spread, the
greater the interest. The final show of interest is the skirt
hike. She is using her right hand to slightly raise her skirt
to expose more leg. With all these in combination, it
would be foolish to think that she is not interested in Dave.
THE TAP
Available women will commonly do what is called
the tap. It is performed by crossing the arms and
then using the index finger to tap the forearm. A
woman will usually do this as she scans the room.
She may also perform this in accompaniment with
the room encompassing glance. If she does this
while looking at you, this can be taken as a desire
for you to approach her and that such an approach
would be welcome. The tap is
like an abbreviated finger motion (as in, “come
here”).
When men and woman are aroused they tend to take
bigger mouthfuls and chew faster. This likely
occurs because they are both nervous and excited.
The eye blink rate may also increase in tow with
chewing rate. It really demonstrates an increased
level of excitement as she tries to keep up with her
senses so as not to miss out on anything.
TOUCHING YOU
An interested woman will make a point to get closer
to you. She may even get so close as to
“accidentally” touch you. What she is trying to do
is give you the idea that she is interested. Touching
is often infrequent and almost always indicates
interest especially when done by women.
Accidental touching can be one of the most basic
and risk-free signs a woman can give. People have
their pride at stake and want to risk as little as
possible when it comes to vulnerable situations such
as dating.
There are a variety of ways that women can initiate
touching. She might tap your forearm, hold your
hand, touch your knee, or force your hand onto her
thigh or lap. She might also touch foot to foot or
touch you by forcing her breasts up against you, all
of which occur “accidentally” (of course). All have
the same effect. They signal interest in you.
