Flirting body language
what are they really saying

Flirting body language is a complex and multi-faceted element of language through which we communicate our intentions, often unconsciously. Having a good understanding of it can help us to convey subtle cues to people. As you get good at it, you'll be able to pick up on the thoughts of others without them having to say a word.

Reading body language can help you in many areas of life but when we get into the realm of flirting body language, relationships and dating get much more interesting. First of all, flirting is different for guys and girls (how often has a guy got the girl by batting his eyelashes?). So there are 2 different books that really have a grasp on this subject. For men, our go-to guide is Flirt Mastery: How to Flirt and Create Hypnotic Conversations with Women. This centers a lot on body language, but it also encompasses much more of the process. For women, the best guide is Roberto Hogue's Body Language Flirting. The best part about Body Language Flirting is that it comes free with an even better book called The Art of Irresistible! If you are interested in getting dates and having so much more fun in your life, you really need to get flirting and body language locked down.

So there's this cute guy or girl you've had your eye on... Roberto is a pretty smart cookie.
