Flirting is something people like to do and like to receive. Flirting indicators can be in forms of touching, smiling, laughing and whispering. By reading the body language of either you or the person you are talking to, you will be able to recognise if either of you are flirting with one another. Body language ranges from things such as eye and mouth movement to the way in which people speak. Flirting gives out signals to whoever you are with that you like them and are interested in them. When carried out in the correct way, flirting can be very sexy and bring two people closer together. Often the best flirting moments are not planned and can take you by surprise.
