Blinking may mean several things. When the rate at which you blink increases, it may mean that you are thinking hard about something, or that you are being flirtatious. For example, someone who is flirting with you may blink (or even wink) to grab your attention.

 

Other Interpertations

Blinking may also be indicative of lying. For example, the liar will blink more often to indicate he or she needs to keep thinking of more lies. Blinking may mean that you are so surprised that you don’t believe what you are seeing.
