come-hither
Alluringly drawing near
Come-hither describes a look, glance, or manner that is seductively inviting, suggesting romantic or sexual interest.
The term evokes the gesture of beckoning someone closer with a finger.
It almost always appears as an attributive adjective before a noun: She gave him a come-hither look across the bar.
The expression is slightly old-fashioned but remains recognizable as a way to describe flirtatious signals.
