30 Ways Men Flirt That Women Do Not Know About

1. He likes to tease you

Much like in the same vein of cuteness of Jim and Pam, he likes to tease and taunt you. He wants to make you smile and bring a brightness to your day that you may not have otherwise had. He's a sweetheart, and while it may not be the most obvious, and can be the most fun!

2. He gets super close to you

He gets close to you, not just emotionally, but physically too. He wants to spend more time with you. He wants to walk with your arms linked together. He wants to know about you. These are all signs that he's flirting and he is most certainly into you.

3. He checks his appearance far more than with his friends

He is so much more concerned about his appearance since meeting you. He's changed his hairstyle, he's working on his beard (because he heard you liked it!), and he's taken an interest in the kind of clothes he's wearing. He cares about your opinion and wants you to know that you make a difference.

4. He tries to pivot the conversation around you

Ten minutes ago, before you arrived, he was talking about topics that only interested him. But since you entered the room, he wants to wax lyrical about the issues and interests that you like to talk about and is constantly trying to steer the conversation back to you. Irritating to his friends but great for flirting with you!

5. He speaks to you differently

It's not just about tone, it's about the language he uses and the topics he talks about too. He isn't focussed on sports or gaming or anything even remotely masculine. He opens up about his home life, asks you about what you've been up to and take an interest in what you like.

6. He tries to make you jealous

The green-eyed monster can sometimes be a little off-putting, but other times, it can be used by men as a way to flirt. When he's talking to that other woman in front of you but still casually glancing over to check you're still watching, he's totally flirting with you. He wants you jealous!

7. He becomes nicer to his friends

You have a way of making him sweeter, not just to you, but to his friends too. If he is generally nicer to his friends when you're around, it's a telltale sign that he's interested in you, because he wants you to see that he's a good guy and that his friends mean a lot to him.

8. His body language changes around you

Subtle changes in body language can signal so many things. When he's stood by himself, he crosses his arms. When he's sat with his friends, his hands sit on his lap. But when he's with you, if you can see he's opening up, showing his chest, or his arms are wide apart, it means he's at ease with you and so you should be with him.

9. He fidgets when he's around you

Image Source: Reddit

This one is sneaky but it's a sure fire way of working out if a guy is flirting with you. If he cannot stop fidgeting or messing with his buttons or you see him playing with his keys when you're around, it means he's absolutely flirting with you. You make him nervous!

10. He tries to find out your relationship status

Image Source: Reddit

There are few things more embarrassing than giving your all flirting, only to realise that that person is fully committed to someone else. So if he's poking about your Facebook profile or asking your friends if you're single, it means he doesn't want to waste his time flirting with someone who is unavailable.

11. He wants you to know he's single

Image Source: Reddit

If a guy is trying to make it abundantly clear that he is not seeing anyone, he doesn't have a girlfriend or wife, and that he is absolutely 100% single, he is flirting with you! It's not an accident that he casually let it slip. It's to signal to you that he is fair game and you should go for it.

12. He tries to make plans with you

Image Source: Reddit

This is possibly one of the more obvious tactics. If a man is trying to make plans with you, and it's not to go watch the newest Star Wars film or get you to watch his kids, it means he's flirting with you. He wants to spend more time with you, make future arrangements, and maybe you should let him...

13. His compliments are sincere

He compliments your hair, your makeup, your wit, your smile. He lets you know that he's thinking about you, that he's interested in you, and that he admires you, and not from afar. It feels lovely too, to know that he believes what he says and that he likes letting you know.

14. He makes sure to smell nice whenever you're around

Image Source: Reddit

It's a subconscious thing. He makes sure to spray his nicest cologne (not Old Spice!) all over and everywhere. It's his way of flirting with you and creating an association in your mind. You don't want a man that smells like BO. You want a man decked in Sauvage by Dior!

15. He always agrees with what you're saying

Image Source: Reddit

A lot of men tend to disagree with what women are saying, regardless of opinions (we've all been there). But this guy can't help but nod along, smile every time you talk, and agree with everything you say. He values your opinions and wants you to feel both safe and comfortable.

16. His tone changes around you

Image Source: Reddit

Normally when he's with the boys, he speaks low and slow. But when he's with you, his tone shifts slightly higher, and he even sounds more excited. He sounds lighter, happier, brighter. It shows that he's comfortable with you and wants you to feel as at ease as possible.

17. He tries to find ways to talk about your interests

Image Source: Reddit

Remember that time the #Scandoval broke and he spent literally 45 minutes listening to you talk about how Raquel's name is actually Raquel? Yeah, that wasn't because he likes Bravo. That's because he wanted to know more about you and loved that you wanted to open up to him.

18. He texts you all the time

Image Source: Reddit

Is there anything more flattering than sending a message and immediately seeing those little blue ticks? Or the vacant red square? Or the read notification? It's like he's been waiting for your response and it is so incredibly sweet. He loves spending time with you in real life and over the phone.

19. He tries to get one-on-one time

Image Source: Reddit

Men and women share this flirtation tactic, but women tend to miss it. If a guy is trying to get one on one time i.e. walking you home or hanging back after a meeting to speak to you, he is absolutely interested. He loves spending time with you in a group, but that special one-on-one time means a lot.

20. He is always trying to make you laugh

Image Source: Reddit

When he's flirting with you, whether you've had a good day or a horrible day, he wants to make you laugh. He doesn't care about how much of a fool he makes out of himself - he just wants to make your day better, and make sure you know that he will always bring a positive energy.

21. He likes to buy you things

Image Source: Reddit

It could be the book that you casually picked up at the bookstore that one time, or maybe it was a type of candy you were eating a few weeks ago. Whatever it is, he finds little ways of buying and giving you gifts to show you that he listens and appreciates you. And you're certainly not complaining!

22. He always has something new to tell you

Image Source: Reddit

It's never the same old thing with him. He wants to show you he has exciting or interesting news to tell you, even if it's just about what he had for dinner last night. He's eager to make conversation with you about whatever he can muster. It's adorable, without fail, because you know it's an excuse to talk to you.

23. He asks about your day without fail

Image Source: Reddit

He is happy to go through the good, the bad and the ugly. Every time he sees you, he asks about your day, and then wants to hear about it in detail. And there isn't a vacant glare to his eyes - he is genuinely interested with what's happened with you. He's invested and it shows.

24. He talks about his private life

Image Source: Reddit

He wants to signal that he's comfortable with you when he shares personal details about his life, details he may not sure with his closest friends. Maybe his cat is at the vet, or he's having money struggles, or he's worried about his mom. He opens up to you because he knows that's the way into your heart.

25. He tries to impress you

Image Source: Reddit

This one goes relatively under the radar. It's not necessarily that he's telling you how much muscle he's gained over his time at the gym, but more him trying to pick you up in a cute way. He's not flashing cash; he's grabbing coffee for your entire friendship group. He wants to subconsciously tell you that he's capable of so much and wants you around to see.

26. He remembers all the little details

Image Source: Reddit

Your eye colour? Of course. Your dog's name? Obviously. That one time you ordered a caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks and now every time you see him, he has one in his hand? That's him flirting. That's him saying that he listens to you, he sees you and he wants to get to know you even more.

27. He makes a lot of eye contact

Image Source: Reddit

You swear he normally only has eyes for his phone, but when you're around, he can't look anywhere else but in your eyes. Even when you're not looking at him, you can feel his gaze. It's his way of showing you that he's interested and interested in everything you're saying. It might not be the most obvious, but it's absolutely flattering.

28. He starts wearing nicer clothing

Image Source: Reddit

What was once any opportunity to wear a baggy shirt and low riding jeans is now a wardrobe change to a cute shirt and chinos. He wants you to see him in a better light, to find him more attractive, to maybe see what he would look like if you were to go on a date. He's making an effort and it's doing wonders.

29. He always has time for you

Image Source: Reddit

You've never seen him drop plans faster. You know he's into his gaming every night with the boys, but, recently, he's started being available at all hours, ready for if and when you call him. He responds to you as soon as you hit send. He's prioritising you.

30. He shares his interests

Image Source: Reddit

He's not just interested in you - he wants you to know what he likes too. You can see the little sparkle in his eyes when he starts opening up about his favorite TV show or this new band he's just discovered or a sport he follows. He wants you to get to know him on a personal level, not just a surface one.
