Flirtology - Fearless Flirting Module Five | Page 21

P eople can use proximity in two different ways to tell if someone is flirting with them. Proximity is how far away we are standing from someone. From a distance, if the person with whom you are exchanging looks has moved to a location that is nearer to you, it is a good sign that the person is interested in you. After all, making eyes from across the room can only get you so far. At some point someone must move! Now that you are an experienced Flirtathlete, you can use the openers that we discussed in last week’s module. If you are physically closer to someone and engaged in conversation, take a moment to notice if that person is standing nearer to you than necessary. If they are, it’s a good sign that they are interested in you. But remember, personal space is a very individual concept. One London female told me, ‘They invade your personal space; you either mind or you don’t’. What she meant by this is that if you are equally interested in someone, you don’t mind them having a closer proximity to you.
