Signs she wants you to make a move and take your flirting up a notch

A big problem that some men face is that they do not even realize when a woman is coming on to them.

Unlike men, women prefer to take the subtler route. If you happen to come across a brazen woman who has no qualms about telling you that she is attracted to you, then good for you. [Read: How to know if she wants you to chase her]

However, most women out there prefer dropping hints and letting you do all the work.

Almost always, women like being doted on, and it’s no different when it comes to making a first move. Here are some of the top ways for you to tell that she is into you.

If you come across one or more of the following signs she wants you to make a move, you should not have any problems scoring!

1. She’s batting her eyelashes at you

Once you start noticing her fluttering her eyelashes at you ever so often, you can chalk that up as an indication that she is interested.

However, hang in there and see if she exhibits other flirtatious signals before making a move. You want to make sure she is indeed giving you a sign, and it has nothing to do with dry contact lens. [Read: How to flirt with your eyes and catch anyone’s attention in the room]

2. She makes herself comfortable

Another way to tell that she wants you to make a move is when she makes an effort to get comfortable. Once a woman settles down, you know that she is feeling great and does not plan on heading anywhere.

An example is when she makes herself comfortable on the couch next to you. She may tuck her legs under her or wrap a blanket around her shoulders.

If you are out in public, she may hunker down on the barstool or seat next to you. Perhaps she will engage you in conversation and not budge.

If a woman chooses to make conversation with you in a social setting where she can have her pick of any guy, you probably have it in the bag. Do not wait too long to make a move because she may just take it as a sign of disinterest on your part. [Read: What to do when a girl likes you – The right way to make your move on her]

3. She keeps touching you

Women do not like making physical contact with someone they find unappealing. So if she touches you, even in jest, she does not find you repulsive.

If she subtly touches you in the midst of conversation, she is unconsciously *or consciously* trying to get as close to you as possible. By touching you, whether it is on your arm, thigh, shoulder or back, she is sending signals to remind you that she is close by.

All she wants is to build awareness of her presence and to let you know that she is right there within touching distance. The gentle pressure of her fingertips on your arm should get you hot under the collar and raring to go. So, do not be afraid to make a move.

4. She brushes up against you

This ties in very closely with the point made above about touching. Women tend to use their bodies as a flirtation tool.

So, if she touches you or brushes up against you often, take it as one of the signs she wants you to make a move. If a woman brushes up against you more than twice in a short time space, you can be sure that it was not by accident.

5. She draws attention to her breasts

Whether they care to admit it, all men have a fascination with boobs and women know this.

Pay attention to little hints such as her pushing her chest out, brushing her breasts against you, or pressing up against you for a hug that lasts longer than a conventional one. Once she busts out the twins, you know that she is begging for you to make a move. [Read: How to get a girl horny and wet just by casually sitting next to her]

6. She makes regular eye contact – one of the BIG signs she wants you to make a move!

If you find her catching your eye and prolonging the act, you can be sure that she wants you to make a move. Women tend to look away from people whom they are not interested in. The last thing they want is to give creeps the wrong idea.

So if you notice repeated eye contact coupled with smiling and nodding along to everything that you say, she likes you and is inviting you to do more. [Read: 13 subtle eye contact flirting moves that always work like magic]

7. She makes an effort to stay in touch with you regularly

A woman is hinting for you to make a move when she keeps in touch with you all the time. This includes odd hours of the day. If she replies to your 1am messages, or answers your call at 11:30pm, she is definitely interested.

A woman is not going to egg you on to make a move and let you intrude on her space at weird hours if she does not want you there. [Read: How to confess your affection for a girl without ever getting rejected]

8. She makes excuses to be alone with you

This applies to various settings and is a very clear sign on whether she likes you. It could be accepting a ride home with just the two of you in the car. Perhaps it’s calling you over to help her with a leaky faucet, dropping off cookies at your place, or simply being left alone at the bar with you.

If a woman has not resisted being alone with you on more than two separate occasions, she is comfortable with you and wants you to make a move.

A word of caution: do not get confused between her being friendly and her inviting you to do more. Pay attention and try to pick up at least a couple more signs from this list before making a move. [Read: How to avoid a girl’s friend zone and make her desire you sexually!]

9. Licking and biting her lip is one of the signs she wants you to make a move

When we like someone, we tend to subconsciously try to draw attention to our lips. So, if you see her licking her lips often or biting her lip while making eye contact, it’s one of the signs she wants you to make a move. She might play with her hair at the same time.

If so, her body language is screaming ‘make a move’! [Read: 16 signs a girl is secretly attarcted to you – guaranteed!]

10. She obviously flirts back

If you’re flirting up a storm and she’s flirting back, that’s a solid sign. She’s not going to waste her time flirting with someone whom she has no direct interest in. Women are not cruel generally. So, if you’re obviously flirting with her and she reciprocates by flirting straight on back, you’re in there! [Read: 20 signs she’s flirting with you even if she’s trying to be subtle]

11. She’s extremely warm with you

Now, be careful with this one because you will need to add other signs to give you a full picture. If she’s very warm around you, e.g. she asks a lot of questions, she seems really interested, and she’s touchy feely, it could be a good sign.

However, it could be that she’s simply a very warm and tactile person. For that reason, look for additional signs to be sure, but it’s certainly a hint in the right direction.

12. She angles her body towards you

Body language is key in understanding whether a woman is flirting or just being friendly. If she angles her body towards you, without crossing her arms or placing any barriers between the two of you, that’s a great sign.

If she starts to mirror your body language, i.e. if you lean to one side, she does too, that’s another clear sign she’s attracted to you subconsciously. [Read: 15 body language clues a girl gives away subconsciously if she likes you]

If she’s making comments that are definitely flirty and even suggestive, she’s doing it for a reason.

Girls don’t tend to make suggestive comments to guys they don’t want to be around because they know it would only encourage the wrong type. So, if her comments are not only racy but moving towards sexual, make a move!

14. She doesn’t back off when you move closer

If you take a step towards her, she will either stand her ground, move closer, or move back. If she moves back, you know she doesn’t want you to make a move.

However, if she stands her ground and makes eye contact, or she moves closer, she’s telling you she wants you to make a move. [Read: How to kiss a girl for the first time and not screw up ever again]

15. She makes excuses to keep talking to you

For most women, once the conversation is over, they’re ready to leave the room and go elsewhere.

However, if she makes excuses to keep talking to you, she doesn’t want to leave. She either finds you fascinating intellectually, or she wants you to keep talking, flirt a little, and maybe make a move.

How many of these signs she wants you to make a move can you agree with?

A simple way to tell that she is just not that into you is to note what she does when the two of you are alone. If she resorts to fiddling with her phone and taking phone calls, she is trying to diffuse the awkwardness of being around you solo.

On the other hand, if she engages you in conversation whilst making plenty of eye contact, she likes you and is giving you the green light to take it a step further.

It’s a good idea to look for a few of these signs before deciding whether to go for it or not. Some girls are simply very friendly and aren’t flirting at all. However, when you can nod along to several of these signs, you can be pretty sure that she’s trying to entice you into making a move.
