Flirting is a basic human intinct to show one’s interest in somebody. Not many people find this easy, as flirting is a technique that takes practice to perfect. By showing the right signals of attraction, one can get the message across to the opposition without having to speak a word. I ask you this question today, how can one distinguish between a playful flirt to real attraction?

A simple way to seek attention is to try and make some kind of body contact whenever the opportunity arises. Any kind of physical contact just implies attraction. One of the basic signals of attraction is eye contact. When a person meets your eye more than once then it might be possible that the person is trying to grab your attention. It may be surprising to know, but the way the knees of the couple are positioned is also a signal of attraction. When the knees of both the people are facing each other, this shows that both are attracted to each other. 

These signals can be spotted easily as people tend to exhibit them even though they try to be very cautious - like I said, basic human instincts. After spotting the signals of attraction and identifying them, it is up to the receiver of such signals whether to reciprocate or not, but with the help of these tips one can at least figure out whether a person is attracted or not rather than just wondering about it.
