Want to learn how to flirt with women? Then forget about lame pick-up lines. If you want to get the attention of a beautiful woman, you need to master body language. The fact is, your body language is more powerful than anything you might say to a woman. Here’s why this seduction method is so important:

If you know how, you can signal your interest (in a subtle way) to a woman standing across the room from you. Second, a woman will feel more comfortable talking to a guy who’s already showing signs of being interested (women hate rejection, too!).

So what exactly can you do to use your body language to get women’s attention and show them you’re open to interact and have some fun? Here are three examples.

1. Be Open to Greetings and Smiles.

If you’ve seen a guy huddled all by himself inside a bar teeming with beautiful ladies in need of someone to flirt with, what is the first thing that comes to mind? You’d think that this guy doesn’t want to interact, and is probably in the process of drowning his sorrows by drinking. A guy who’s on his own and not interacting with anyone automatically puts out a “leave me alone” vibe. That’s why it’s very important to get into the crowd and get into the action, especially if you’re out on your own.

Check out the design of the place (including the women milling around). Make eye contact whenever possible. Smile at women who catch your eye and say hi (say it as if you already knew them). Maintaining an ‘open’ body language will increase the likelihood that you’re going to meet a woman you can date later.

2. Wink (But Not Like a Creep)

Ok, when you think of a guy winking at a girl, the initial reaction is probably: “Eeew”. That’s because almost everyone does this wrong and there’s a “right” way of doing it. It’s actually very simple: Put on a big smile before you wink and don’t take yourself seriously while you do it. A genuine smile takes the creepiness out of winking.

This is particularly helpful if the woman is positionally inaccessible (like when she’s seated with her friends and you’re standing by the bar). Smiling and winking will effectively put you on her to-talk-to list for the night (if she doesn’t come right over and talk to you immediately!).

3. Signal your interest in what she’s saying.

Many guys aren’t very emotionally expressive in their faces. If you’re among the men who tend to have a poker-face on whether they chose to or not, you can signal that you’re interested in what she’s talking about by tilting your head slightly towards her and aligning your body with her’s.

Try any or all of these methods above to quickly build a subconscious connection between you and the women you flirt with.
