One thing that will always be obvious when a person is interested in you, whether a girl or a guy, is if they're always super excited being around you. They will do just about anything to poke you, tickle you, basically anything to ensure that you are in contact with them. People who aren’t really into others also do this as a game though, so you ought to watch out.

5. Keeping a photo for no reason might be flirting

This is because they find you attractive and want to stare at you every chance they get. So, if you aren’t sure, try and offer the flirt a photo of you just because. If they're really into you, they will jump at the opportunity. More often than not, they save the photos you post on Facebook, even without your knowledge.

Apart from having a secretive, inside language or joke, the person who is trying to flirt with you either at work or in your social circle will always try to establish a secret handshake with you. And if you respond to it, then it just shows that you feel the same way and you shouldn’t wait for any other signs.

11. You might flirt so much you confuse people

When someone is trying too hard to flirt with you, they might have difficulty telling people that you are just friends. This is because they usually have invested a considerable amount of emotion in you and are at that point when they're not sure what you mean to them anymore. And even though they usually end up saying that you are just friends, carefully watch their body language and see how they act when they say this. So apart from watching how they react on Facebook, ask them what they feel and check out their body language to get the signs you need.

12. Being their main focus is among the clearest signs of flirtation

When someone is flirting with you, then you will always be their focus at all times, which is a good thing at the end of the day. They will always pay attention to the little things that you say and will always follow up with your conversations. They just want you to keep talking because they can't get enough of you. That is just how things are when someone is flirting with you and you shouldn’t miss the signs.

13. The background melts away when you talk

When the person you're flirting with is talking to you, it will seem as though everything else doesn’t matter. You will always be able to know when they are paying attention to you whenever you are talking, which is incredibly hot. At first, you might not be able to see this as one of the signs, but with a little practicing, you will be a master at identifying flirty signs from a mile away.

14. They borrow stuff and never return them

A flirt will always look for a reason to see you over and over again. For instance, they will borrow your hoodie and never remember to return it. This is meant to prompt you to take the initiative of going over to their place to get it back. And by doing so, they will have the opportunity to flirt with you even more. You need to understand that if someone isn’t that into you, they won’t borrow stuff from you unless it’s a matter of life and death.

15. Sleepovers are an unwritten rule

Someone who is trying to be with you, especially if they are just friends, will do just about anything to sleep over. Yes, you had an incredible night out together. And now that the person you are flirting with has taken you out and can’t get back home, they will jump at the opportunity to a sleepover, even if it’s on the couch. After all, it's one step towards jumping in bed with you. And so even if the signs might seem a little vague, you shouldn’t turn a blind eye towards it, whether the person who is flirting with you is doing so online (i.e. Facebook) or at work. The signs are always the same at the end of the day.

16. Single is written all over their forehead

When someone is openly flirting with you, they will almost always claim that they single even before they are asked. The reverse is true if someone doesn’t want you because they will always deny that they are single, even if they are. You should always pay very close attention to seemingly insignificant signs like these, including their body language.

17. Blushing is part of the signs

Well, this sign over here is self-explanatory. If someone likes you, they will always blush especially if you do something as naughty as winking at them or blowing a kiss. So, the next time you aren’t sure about someone flirting with you, you can do yourself a favor and try making them blush. If they do, then they are so into you.

18. There is a lot of checking you out

Flirting makes people do a lot of silly things, including checking out the person they are interested in. And if you look closely, you will always find the person who is into you staring at you because they just can’t seem to get enough of you. Every chance your crush gets, their eyeballs will be rolling around the room looking out for you. That said, you should consider such as one of the flirting signs that you need to take with a pinch of salt.

19. A lot of giggling and smiling

Another one of the telltale signs that someone is flirting with you is smiling at you when you talk. If it’s a girl, she might couple that with a little giggling and will always try to maintain as much eye contact as she can. Again, these are some important flirting signs that you shouldn't miss. You just need to pay close attention.

20. Their eyes sparkle when they see you

Last but not least, people who are trying to flirt with you will always do their best to connect. You can see the fire in their eyes which can never be mistaken for mere friendship, even for a second. Well, the person who said that eyes are the window to someone’s soul really didn't lie and hence you can use that to your advantage.

Conclusion

When it comes to flirting, people exhibit different signs, and so you need to always be on the lookout. And once you have established that someone likes you, it would be good for you to take the next step as soon as possible. The last thing you want is to lead someone on and end up disappointing them.
