Moved from Tittle Tattle on the old board.

  • Placing your fan near your heart = I love you.
  • A closed fan resting on the right eye = When can I see you?
  • A half closed fan pressed to the lips = You may kiss me.
  • Touching the tip of the fan with a finger = I wish to speak to you.
  • Letting the fan rest on the right cheek = Yes.
  • Letting the fan rest on the left cheek = No.
  • Dropping the fan = We will be friends.
  • Fanning slowly = I am married.
  • Fanning quickly = I am engaged.
  • Carrying a open fan in the left hand = Come and talk to me.
  • Twirling the fan in the right hand = I love another.
  • Twirling the fan in the left hand = We are being watched.
  • Shutting a fully open fan slowly = I promise to marry you.
  • Drawing the fan across the eyes = I am sorry.
  • To open a fan wide = Wait for me.
