So, you want to know psychologically the best way to flirt?
-
Here are some tips
-
Number one: Touch them
-
Much research has demonstrated that touching a person can increase their compliance to completing wide variety of requests, and this may extend to the world of flirtation.
-
So it may be a good tip to touch the person you desire.
-
No.
-
Not like that.
-
Studies have found that when a young man in a nightclub asks a woman to dance with him, his request was more likely to be followed if he touched her forearm for one or two seconds.
-
This may be because tactile contact is associated with dominance, as later when the women were asked to complete a survey, a high score of dominance was associated with tactile contact.
-
Number two: Smooth talk
-
Words can do a lot when it comes to flirting.
-
It can certainly do you good to subtly communicate your affection with the person you like.
-
Ok, no, that would never work.
-
Pitch and tone actually have a lot more to do with flirting than one may believe.
-
Research from MIT suggests that men are more attracted to women that vary the tone in which they speak.
-
Those whose voice went up and down in frequency more often received more romantic interest from men than those who spoke with a flatter tone.
-
This study also found that women were more attracted to men who interjected when they were speaking with phrases such as "yep," "OK"and "I see."
-
This not only suggests dominance which is an evolutionary trait women find appealing, but also understanding.
-
Number three: Mirror body language
-
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
-
In this case you'll act as the mirror!
-
55% of attraction communication is made through body language, and one of the most subtle yet most effective methods of flirting with someone is to mirror their actions.
-
This is because we unconsciously copy those we are attracted to as a sign that we are interested in what they are saying.
-
Mirroring someone not only demonstrates that we have good communication skills but also that we're invested in their thoughts and feelings.
-
This is also a surefire way of whether knowing someone is interested in you, as if they copy your mirroring, they just may reciprocate your feelings.
-
Number four: Wear red.
-
Not that red, not only an eye catching color that flatters many skin tones.
-
Red is also a symbol of lust and sexuality, and studies have shown that when both men and women wear red, they appear more attractive to the opposite sex.
-
This may be due to the social expectation surrounding the color.
-
However, psychologist Adam Pazda suggests that instead our attraction to red may be a hangover from human's evolutionary past as animals, such as female baboons display patches of bright red skin to indicate they are ready to mate.
-
However, it may be good advice to keep it subtle and classy.
-
Number five: Eye contact
-
Often viewed as the number one sign of attraction, eye contact is key when it comes to demonstrating your attraction towards another person.
-
When we make eye contact with a prospective mate, we're in fact searching for evidence of their attraction to us through their physiological response of pupil dilation,
-
and this is why staring into one another's eyes feels so intimate.
-
Therefore, the best way to let someone know you're interested in them is to gaze into their eyes.
-
Just make sure you're smiling and that you don't over do it.
-
Follow these tips, we wish you luck!
