<p>If a guy tries to catch glimpses of you from the corner of his eye then he is probably interested in you. Males(especially me lol) get kind of nervous when a girl they have been staring at starts smiling at them, if embarassment is any indication of romantic interest. Furthermore, if a guy chronically makes up a silly excuse to talk to you then he probably likes you as well, so that like the others may signal a green light to start flirting.</p>
<p>I'm not an expert on this matter, but guys(a generalization based on myself) really like the way that girls smell, so if a girl moved closer to guy when flirting with him, the seduction would probably prove to be a greater temptation for the guy.</p>
<p>I agree with man<em>on</em>fire. The smell thing wasn't even noted before and I completely forgot about it. If a girl has a perfume that I like, I will instantly become more attracted to her and I will want to be closer to her. I will associate that pleasant smell with that girl from now on. I definitely try to look at the girl a lot if I am interested and I also make up excuses to talk to the girl or be around her. Also I will smile and laugh a lot and try to make eye contact and my eyes "sparkle" or whatever.</p>

so this may sound absolutely ridiculous, but...</p>
<p>I read in some magazine that you can tell if someone has a thing for you if their body is turned toward you (like their feet and/or torso) and (when close to each other) if their pupils get larger.
Again, this came out of a magazine from over a year ago.

<p>I'm not sure about the pupil part, but the body being turned toward you part is true. Also if the body is turned far away from you and "closed" then it is a sure sign that they don't like you.</p>
<p>Fake a sincere interest in his life, and sound all sensitive when you do it. Sound sympathetic to whatever whining he does. It's flattering, and it lowers his guard. Guys have been using "deep" conversations to get us in bed for ages; it's about time we turn it around. It's not just girls who like their egos boosted in this manner. [Though incidentally, it works for genders you're not attracted to too, if you're trying to get information or favours out of them.]</p>
<p>Also, fake being helpless. It means he does your work for you and feels good about doing it. So it's win-win for you, because you can be lazy and he feels important and needed and therefore wants you more.
And yes to the touching thing. Also, keep your tone of voice light and have a half-smile all the time.</p>
<p>Actually, I rarely flirt with people I'm actually attracted to; I'm much too insecure for that. I mostly use it for people who seem tractable so that I can feel powerful. It's very effectiveand so long as you're careful to give every once in a while after you take lots, you can keep it up indefinitely without actually having to act on all the flirting.</p>
<p>[This sort of makes me sound like a horrible person, doesn't it? I swear I'm not though! I may be a manipulative control freak when I can get away with it, but I'm also a pleaser who wants everyone around me to be happy. How I manage to reconcile those two seemingly opposite traits, I have yet to figure out.]</p>
