The flirting triangle. With friends, the look drops below eye level and moves into a triangle shape: we look from eye to eye but also look down to include the nose and mouth. Once we start flirting, the triangle gets even bigger - it widens at the bottom to include their good bits (like the body).
The Triangle Technique
During the conversation, change your gaze every so often, looking into one eye, then move to the other eye, then down to their lips, and back up to the eyes. This is an inmate way to connect and send unspoken signals.
Try the triangle trick.
Picture an inverted triangle that acts as a perimeter around the person's main features. The points should encompass her eyes and mouth. When talking with each other, move your gaze from one point on the triangle to another every five to 10 seconds.
Using humor, openness, touch, attention, proximity, and eye contact, you can improve your flirting skills and enjoy conversations with anyone that catches your eye.
In a research project, Jeffrey Hall, Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas defined five flirting styles; playful, traditional, physical, sincere and polite.
As you face your date, glance at one of their eyes, look quickly down at their mouth, then back up to their other eye to form a triangle. That's it. This move not only shows that you're enjoying the moment and probably interested in kissing, but it can also make your date feel some type of way.
The Intimate Gaze
The gaze is across the eyes and below the chin to other parts of the person's body. In close encounters it is the triangular area between the eyes and the chest or breasts and for distant gazing from the eyes to the crotch.
Triangular Gazing is a naturally occurring body language technique for eye contact. This process is a body language technique you may do without knowing! The social gaze is described as a friendly gaze that involves moving your eyes around an imaginary inverted triangle on someone's face from eye-to-mouth movement.
Eye contact is a powerful stimulator of affection. A study published in the Journal of Research and Personality in which two opposite sex strangers were asked to gaze into each other's eyes for two minutes found that this was enough in some cases to produce passionate feelings for each other.
Make eye contact -- then look away
“Making eye contact and holding it just a few seconds longer than a casual glance causes him to take notice of you and start to wonder what you may have meant by that,” says Lieberman. “It's the cool 'silent flirt' that can make him want to know more.”
When you're talking with someone, touching their elbow, shoulder, or arm is a simple way to start physical contact. It only needs to last 1 or 2 seconds. Touch lightly so you're not putting too much pressure on the other person.
Watch for Their Eye Gaze
Like touch, eye contact triggers the release of oxytocin. When someone is attracted to you, they subconsciously will try engaging in lots of mutual eye contact. They do this to feel closer to you, and because they are interested in you and what you are saying.
Dr Conway explained the results: “Faces that were looking directly at the viewer were judged more attractive than faces with averted gaze. This effect was particularly pronounced if the face was smiling and the opposite sex to the viewer.
Actually, science has proven it so! Certain chemicals (or endorphins) that produce the emotion of love can be emitted through emotions expressed in the eyes. There are physiological changes in the eyes that occur when love is expressed between two individuals.
First, look in the person's left eye for 1 second, then switch your gaze to their lips for 1.5 to 2 seconds. Finally, look in their right eye, completing a triangle. She said: "I can guarantee that if done with the right person at the right time they will literally be [stunned]. I've done this with people I've liked.
Sincere. This is the most common flirting style, and that's probably for the best. Sincere flirts are direct and honest in their interest, and they aim to build emotional connections from the beginning. They'll strike up a conversation about the book you're reading.
They draw the line: Natural flirts know when and where to stop. They will not lead someone on unnecessarily or give them the wrong idea about their real feelings and cause heartache or heartbreak, neither will they come on too strong and make you want to run for your dear life.
They are interested in what you have to say and ask you lots of questions. They laugh at your jokes, even the lame ones. They initiate physical contact. They try to find space where you can talk more privately (this does not always mean sex, but it often means they wish for more quality time with you).
Teasing is one of the biggest ways that a man can flirt with you. If he makes fun of you lightly for your clothes, for how you walk, how you laugh, or for any of the other things about you that he actually just thinks are really adorable, then he's definitely flirting with you.
