There are certain flirting moves that we all use, even though our crushes are oblivious to them. We might think that we're being obvious about our emotions, but they'll remain clueless about how we feel, because they aren't paying enough attention. Here are a few flirting moves that most men never even notice:
1 Staring
If he catches you staring at him, he might think that you were just staring into space. Even if he knows that you were looking at him on purpose, he might think that there's just something in his teeth.
***
This subtle signal often flies right over a guy's head, especially if he's preoccupied with something else. You might think you're giving him the green light, but unless you pair that gaze with a sweet smile or a wink, he might dismiss it as insignificant. To make your intentions crystal-clear, try catching his eye intentionally and hold your stare just a bit longer than usual. Pair it with a playful grin to let him know that your attention is definitely on him and not on the remnants of lunch caught in his teeth.
Frequently asked questions
2 Playing with Your Hair
A lot of girls play with their hair absentmindedly. So he might think that you're touching it, because it's a nervous habit.
3 Posting Sexy Pictures
If you post sexy pictures on Instagram, he won't realize that you want him to like them. He might actually think that you're showing off for someone else.
4 Liking His Statuses
There are people he barely knows that like his statuses, so he won't think it's a big deal when you do the same thing. It's a pretty impersonal act.
5 Trying to Make Him Jealous
If you flirt with other men in front of him, he'll assume that you like other men. This flirting move tends to backfire.
6 Eating Suggestively
Women in movies can eat strawberries seductively, but if you try to do it, you might look a little silly. Then your crush won't have any idea you're attempting to flirt.
7 Texting Him First
Even if you're always the one to text first, he might not realize it. Not all men pay close attention to their phone habits.
8 Bumping into Him
If you bump into him on purpose, he'll assume it was an accident. That means he won't think anything of it.
9 Laughing at Everything He Says
If you laugh whenever he speaks, he'll assume that it's because he's hysterical. He won't realize that you're only laughing, because you like him.
10 Giving Subtle Compliments
If you're going to compliment him, you should go all out. If you say something subtle about how funny he is, he won't think too much into it.
11 Smiling
Smiling at him is a great idea, but it won't make him realize that you like him. After all, it's a friendly gesture. It's not inherently flirty.
12 Dressing Nice
How is he supposed to know that you're dressing nice for him? He might think that it's the way you always dress.
13 Badmouthing Other Girls
If you badmouth other girls in front of him, he might just think you're a nasty person. He won't have a clue that you're jealous and trying to make yourself look good in comparison.
14 Pretending to like What He Likes
If you pretend to love the same bands as him, he won't realize you're lying. That means he'll have no clue that you're trying to impress him.
15 Asking for His Help
Asking for his help is a great way to spend more time with him. However, it's a friendly request, so he won't know that you're interested in him.
16 Tagging Him
Flirting on social media doesn't have as big of an impact as flirting in "real life" does. That's why tagging him on Facebook might not give you the results you wanted.
17 Showing Skin
If you show skin, he won't necessarily know that you're doing it for his benefit. After all, there are plenty of other men that you'll run into throughout the day, so it would be cocky for him to assume you're showing off for him.
Some boys are just oblivious. That's why you might need to bluntly tell him how you feel if you ever want him to know. Are you struggling to make your crush realize how much you like him?
