Unfortunately, we don't live in a world where our dating availability is conveniently marked on our foreheads. In the dating game body language can say a lot about a person. If you're a shy guy, learn how to read a single woman's seductive signals before you ask her out or to dance. Remember, shy can be very sexy!

Figuring out whether or not she's single or taken takes a little detective work, and sometime it may not be determined in just one sitting. Below are signals Single women give out, if she has a boyfriend, then chances are she won't be twirling her hair, and touching & talking to other men so casually. Women who are already attached usually don't bother looking around as they have no intention of meeting other men.

If it's someone you work with or see often, it becomes more complicated, since you don't want to come right out and ask her if she is romantically involved or not. In this case, pay attention to any conversations you have. For example; If she tells you that she has a dog named Max, does a lot of cooking, goes to the gym every week, and takes art lessons, chances are she doesn't have a man to come home to. The two tip-offs are she has a lot of time on her hands and does a lot to keep herself busy. And she's very open and friendly when it comes to you.
