There’s a new way to take a shot at love. Or at least that’s what one Texas-based “not-influencer” is in the process of discovering.
Under the in-video headline, “The Austin TX double tap is starting to spread,” Adrian Delaney (@adriandelaneyiv) explains a new, IRL dating communication method. It might actually take a cue from mimes.
Tap Tap Tap
In a TikTok with 2,268 views, Delaney says that there’s a non-verbal way to let someone know you’re interested. Similar to a casual salute, he says if you catch that cutie’s eye, you can simply signal interest.
To do it right, you hold your hand (left or right, doesn’t seem to matter) palm out, then close the ring, pinky, and thumb. Basically, make a peace sign. Next, you just gently tap at your temple, twice. They can respond by mirroring it (indicating interest). But if there’s no love connection to make, they just reverse the gesture (close it) by doing the same thing, but with the back of the hand visible. No harm, no foul…
