2. She'll Flash A Genuine Smile At You

If you see her smiling genuinely at you, that's another strong indicator. If her smile is forced or looks courteous, where she's not showing any teeth and the smile seems tight, then she's just being polite, but if you find her grinning from cheek to cheek, she's definitely attracted to you, or at least wants to get to know you.

3. She'll Bite Her Lip

Lip biting could be a sign of nervousness and if you find her doing it while she's talking to you, then you know she's as interested in talking to you as you are in her. This is a very subconscious attempt to get your attention, BTW.

4. Her Body Will Be Facing You

When you're having a conversation with her, see how she is standing. If her arms are relaxed and she's facing you, that's a positive sign. If she's not interested in you, she'll stand in a manner that may not be facing all of her towards you. She will also have her arms crossed and have minimal eye contact with you. Those are definitely signs that she's not interested.

5. She's Comfortable With Touching

By touch I mean, if she's placing her hand on your shoulders while talking to you, that's definitely a sign of her flirting with you. Sometimes women also touch themselves unknowingly (no, not what you're thinking!), to calm their excitement. She may rub her thighs or her arms or keep crossing or non-crossing her legs either out of excitement or sheer nervousness.

6. She'll Mirror You

Mirroring is a very positive sign with body language. Mirroring is when she is imitating your actions subconsciously. Which means, you've taken the lead and she's quite into you by now. So if you pick up your drink, she'll pick up hers or if you cross your legs, she'll cross hers.

7. Flaring Nostrils

This can't be controlled. She can't do this on purpose and according to experts if a girl is drawn towards you, she will flare her nostrils. It sounds weird but it is true- as this is uncontrollable and if this happens just know that she likes you. 

8. MULTIPLE LEG CROSSES

If a woman is crossing her legs, either she is nervous or this is an act to seek attention. Also, if her knees are pointed towards you, then she really likes you. 

9. She'll pay attention to what you are saying

You'll always have her undivided attention and no matter who is listening or who isn't she'd always be listening to whatever you're saying. Also, she'll support the cause or your opinions that you're taking a stand for. 

10.  Preening 

She is continuously fixing herself in front of you. She might knowingly or unknowingly do this as she is risking fixing herself in front of you while she has your attention already because she cares about what you think. Hence, she is making an effort to look perfect and stand out.

So, if you've just met her and are unsure if she likes you or not, just look out for these subtle and unsubtle body language signs and you'll have your answers right there and then! This will just enable you to be less confused than you already are help you in making the first move.
