We know that the last thing you want to do on a date with a new guy is mess up, but it won’t hurt to take a few dating risks! Whether by asking him an out-of-the-box question, taking him to an exotic place, or doing something potentially embarrassing, your new dude will instantly see you as fun, interesting, and irresistibly hot.
But how do you gauge if your daring flirt tactic is benta? Cosmo rounds up some common facial expressions that give your date away!
Your Date Is Turned On If…
He smiles broadly. If his grin reveals both rows of teeth and his eyes crinkle at the corners, he’s thrilled.
He smirks. It means he’s happy but maybe a bit embarrassed.
He raises his eyebrows and grins. It means he's pleasantly surprised.
Your Date Is Freaked If…
He curls his lip. This is a sign of annoyance. He probably wants you to back off.
He opens his mouth and juts out his jaw. He’s likely shocked and a little irritated.
He raises his eyebrows and rolls in his lips. He may be a bit put off by your move and feel defensive.

7. thanks for the heads up. these body language thing can freak me out sometimes. i dont have a clue what the other person wants to tell me. does this apply to some other situation? i have this "manang" na ka-teammate who always curl her lips. does this mean she's annoyed by everybody? as in, lagi syang nakanguso.
