Inverse Wink

A flirtatious action where one begins with both eyes closed, opens just one eye with a flirty smile (looks the same as traditional flirtatious winking), and then returns to having both eyes closed.
She was trying everything to get his attention but traditional flirting was inadequate; therefore she tried an inverse wink, his attention was caught, and they are now married.
