Is a hug a flirt?

The importance of touch "The least flirtatious and romantic touches were the shoulder push, shoulder tap, and handshake. Thus, touching that is gentle and informal, and that occurs face-to-face or involves “hugging” behaviour, appears to convey the most relational intent."

They dominate the space around you

In one study, researchers had two opposite-sex strangers meet and recorder their interactions for 10 minutes. They then asked each person about their romantic interest and compared it with their behaviour in the test. Males who were more interested gave off dominance signals, such as taking up space and leaning forward during a conversation. Similarly, women who were more interested changed their body presentation to accentuate physical features.

They mirror your behaviour

When people are attracted to each other, they tend to unconsciously copy each other's physical gestures and posture. Psychologists call this 'postural congruence' or 'postural echo' explains the Social Issues Research Centre. "Mirror-image postural echoes – where one person's left side 'matches' the other person's right side – are the strongest indication of harmony and rapport between the pair. If the position of your partner's body and limbs appear to 'echo' or 'mimic' your own, particularly if his/her posture is a mirror image of yours, the chances are that he/she feels an affinity with you." But as a BBC report explains, mirroring also marks good communication and shows our interests are being reciprocated, which means it can also happen when talking to close friends.

They're consistent

According to social psychology pinoneer Harold Kelley’s 1967 'Attribution Model' - the theory of how people interpret and make sense of behaviour - consistant flirtation over time is a good signal for attraction. Pyschologist Theresa E. DiDonato observed Kelley's study in detail and suggests there are three key questions that can help decode flirting.

1. Are their interactions consistent across time (do you seem to flirt every time you see each other)?

2. Is the person’s behaviour towards you distinctive or unique (not how he or she acts toward everyone else)?

3. How do you behave? If there’s a general consensus that most people interact with this person the way you do, your interactions are less likely attributed to mutual attraction.

Ireland is not only one of the world’s most beautiful countries, it’s well-known for its fun-loving, generous people who are sure to welcome you in as if you were a long lost friend.
