Flirting: Part 1
If they are interested in becoming intimate they will also whisper to the other person. This can also be done at a board meeting. Our couple may not like each other yet, but if she has to whisper into his ear, explaining some point of the company's presentation, the reader will pick up on the hints.
There are several things a woman may do unconsciously that will attract a man. She might cross her legs, or wear interesting jewelry, especially earing, which draw attention to the jaw line and the neck. These are erogenous zones. The writer may only suggest that the female character removed her earing to answer the phone, but this is enough to stir something deep in the reader, especially if told from the man's point of view.
A woman looking over her shoulder and smiling is making a movement that is considered flirtatious. A writer can utilize this by having the woman in a restaurant, waiting for a business meeting. She hears the head waiter welcome the man by name, so she turns her head, and smiles hoping to make a good first impression. A writer who includes enough detail to fully exploit the flirt will 'trigger' the appropriate emotional response in the reader.
Keeping with the restaurant theme, a good attraction for any man is to watch a woman politely, but firmly, reject the advances from a male. Especially if the hero feels that other man is inferior. A woman with enough confidence, and poise, to reject a man without hurting his feelings is very attractive to a man. The fact that she has just proven to be very selective is extremely desirable to men.
Flattery is a definite no-no. While many people suggest making coy remarks and suggestive comments, it is considered immature. Remember, the heroine must always remain above reproach. She must have grace, and with that comes good manners and good posture. Both attract men of the hero variety. She will be honest and sincere, politely holding her own and setting her own boundaries. This will let the hero know she can be trusted.
A couple who are interested in each other, even if they do not know it, will move toward the next step. They will ask questions that require answers, and that express an interest in the other person. They will also focus their attention
