Male Viewpoint:
Interest
body going still momentarily
eyebrows that rise quickly
eye contact that sticks and then takes the whole body in
shifting to display his chest and shoulders
smiling and moving closer to engage
placing hands near his pelvis
Flirting
paying a sincere compliment
lingering eye contact
offering jokes and light banter
smiling and wetting his lips
"accidental" touches (leg bumps, hand brush) and touch excuses
leaning closer to say something directly in her ear
mirroring body language
Desires
a gaze that explores and suggests
active touches (stroking her arm, cupping her chin) and direct eye contact
erasing distance (taking her hands, pulling her close)
lips that part slightly
increased swallowing
touching her neck, throat, or wrists lightly
leaning in to whisper and letting his cheek or lips brush her skin
Lust
pulling her in to claim her
kisses that test then deepen and grow more urgent
cupping her neck
hands carving through her hair
physical arousal (stiffening, tensing)
hands and lips that explore curves (touch, squeeze)
vocalizing (heavy breathing, whispering desires)
fumbling with clothing
Female Viewpoint:
Interest
body posture stiffening
a visible intake of breath
glancing down only to look back
a smile that spreads once caught looking
angling her body toward him
thrusting the shoulders back slightly
pushing her hair back from her face (tucking it behind her ear)
giving a small wave or head tilt in invitation
Flirting
asking about his interests and opinions
smiling and laughing at his jokes
touching his knee or arm lightly
leaning in or stepping closer (entering his personal space)
fiddling with a necklace to draw his gaze to her neck
playing with her hair while listening
swiveling toward him while sitting so knees touch
Desires
wetting her lips
lingering or suggestive touches (trailing her fingers along his collar)
gaze drifting between his eyes and lips
moving close enough to clearly invite his touch
knees that loosen and part slightly
reaching out to touch his shoulders
trembling and her breath hitching
hooking a finger under his belt or touching his shirt
Lust
yielding to his embrace (sliding her arms around him)
lifting her lips to be kissed
arching and tilting her head back
touching his jawline
running fingers through his hair
vocalizing (breathing becoming rushed, emitting small moans or gasps)
running her hands over his chest
squeezing his forearms
clutching at his shoulders and hips
pulling at his clothing to touch his skin
