• Does she keep looking your way? If she's always checking out where you are and what you're doing, it's one of the most obvious signs. She's staring and can't keep her eyes off you - and that's a good thing!
• Is she constantly touching you? Women show interest with gentle brushes on the arm. Maybe they grab you and hold on for a few extra beats.
• Does she keep looking at specific areas of your body (lips, butt, package, etc)? She's likely lost in thought, thinking about all the things she wants to do with you.
• Does she play with her hair? This is a nervous tick that many women have when they are trying to play it cool.
• Does she fidget with her clothing? Another calming gesture, fidgeting with their clothing is another way to channel nervous energy.
• Does she move and draw attention to certain parts of her body? Perhaps she wants you to look at her, so she's playing with her neckline, drawing attention to her cleavage, hips, butt, and more.
• Does she lean in when she's talking to you? She's closing the space with you physically, making it so no one else can come between you.
