I catch someone's eye across the room, and if it's accompanied by that "hiya" grin....I'm off and running. Can't help myself.
I'll usually drop my gaze very quickly, then lift my eyes to them again to let them catch me taking that second look with a little half smile to let them think I like what I've seen. Then I'll pull my attention back to whatever I was doing when the whole thing kicked off...it's only polite. Besides, that starts the chase. I get to spend the rest of the evening playing "glance tag" until whoever it is gets up the courage to come talk to me or dance with me...or whatever the order of the evening is. And there's lots of little things I've caught myself doing during the game that encourage such a decision. The little half smiles get bigger, I might bite my lip or something silly like that. I suddenly realize that I'm angling my body to offer my fellow flirt the best view, the whole leg crossing thing can happen here. Or shifting my balance in their direction after I've looked away. I know, it sounds strange. But I didn't realize I was doing it until I saw someone else do it to me...and it emphasized the magnatism of the whole thing. Ah, the wonders of body language.
I love that wordless phase of flirting...but, lucky me, I haven't yet been disappointed when it ended and the next stage began
