By the end of the article, you'll see that the added benefit of being able to read body language is very important in helping determine if someone is interested. So I encourage you to do searches for "Examples of body language in flirting" and read it well.
Once you know some basics, you'll find yourself doing it and others too. Say if some guy walks up to you to stand close enough to reach out an arm, arms length away or closer and you do not feel attracted nor like the guy, you will subconsciously feel uncomfortable and need to recreate that space barrier around you so you will step back a few steps or more. Guys will do it too. If you are talking with someone, another subconscious thing people do when they like each other is start leaning toward each other as they are chatting, and yet another is mimicking/aping the other persons movements somewhat. If one crosses their legs, the other will reposition their legs right away too, maybe not exact position tho, and if you reach up to tuck your hair behind your ear, he might reach up to scratch his eye or smooth back his hair. How one positions themselves also show interest and combined with flirty looks and talk are much more a for sure sign someone is checking you out to see if they still like you or to see if you have an interest in them in return by whether or not you flirt and use body language to confirm .
