LOL!!! don't take "IT" out... I would second that, maybe a little more subtle would be helpful for some! I personally wouldn't mind tho
AS far as body language myself if I like someone or am trying to act coy and see if he likes me, I naturally touch my hair a lot and am somewhat fidgety lol I smile a lot and make good eye contact but sometimes look down or away but never at another person (natural sub)! I think each woman her her own body language but it generally leads to something showing off her best attributes!
I personally think that the holidays are a great time to strike up convo and get info easier! You can always just ask... Are you celebrating at home or visiting with friends/family?
Also I think guys forget that confidence is attractive to us, if not more, than it is for y'all! Just ask if she might want to grab a coffee or bite to eat but have a day and time in mind when asking so its not an open ended statement that never comes up again!
