Article: Sustained eye contact for 2-3 seconds is a sign that a person is attracted to you. A person who is being shy or flirtatious may look at your, look away and then look back several times. On the other hand, if the person looks away and does not look back or turns their head or body away from you, this is a sign they are not interested in you. Some women may tuck their chin down then look up at you and bat their eyes quickly. A man may be more likely to raise his eyebrows briefly to show he's interested. Signs of availability include smiling, uncrossed arms and legs, and looking up or straight ahead.Unavailable or defensive postures include folding their arms across their chests, crossing their legs tightly, and looking down at their feet or even a cell phone. How a woman holds her purse is a great indication of availability. If she is holding her purse in front of her body or clutching it tightly against her side, she may subconsciously be trying to "hide" from you or place an obstacle between you and her. Holding her purse at her side or pushed towards her back are good signs that she's open to you. If you are in a busy, crowded area, she may just be clutching her purse because she is afraid of getting it stolen or being pickpocketed, so pay attention to other signs of attraction as well. A woman who is wearing a skirt may keep her legs crossed out of propriety while she is sitting and still be open to you. Turning her torso towards you is a good indication that she is open to being approached. She may also change her position from crossing her legs at the knees to crossing them at the ankles, which is another indication she may be attracted to you. A man may stand with his hands on his hips or, if sitting, spread his legs further apart to widen his stance. Both of these gestures are indications he is attracted to you. A person who is attracted to you may start running their fingers through their hair. A woman with longer hair may flip her hair off her shoulder to expose her neck. A man may either smooth out or mess up his hair to make his hairstyle more flattering and attractive. People instinctually point their feet towards someone they are attracted to. If the person has turned their feet to point at you, it's a good indication that they are attracted to you, or at least very interested in you. It is possible that a married person may be attracted to you and show signs of being interested in meeting you. However, if they are legally attached to someone else, they may not be interested in dating you or may be looking for someone to cheat on their spouse with. Only proceed in asking this person out if you are comfortable with this potential complication or are prepared for being turned down.
