Flirting is fun. It is also apparently harmless – if executed and managed in the right manner. Most of all, flirting can be that first step to making a new friend or getting to know someone. People say that flirting is natural and we don’t forget how-to – because it’s almost innate. While we may become a little rusty, we wouldn’t lose it… They say the best flirting tactics are ones where it is simple and can be easily performed.
Democritus, Angelo Caracci
Smile – it doesn’t cost anything and it’s a great *opening* line. If the person returns a genuine smile, you’re given the clear and it shows that perhaps there’s interest on the other side.
Give a coyish look if you must, or a flitting gaze to establish eye contact, but please don’t stare – that’s scary, and could be a clear turn-off.
Forget corny lines – or slapstick lines! It’s good to have humor, but please don’t try to flatter nor impress with mediocre lines. We want to make the person laugh, not cringe with disgust.
Show interest by listening to the person, not glancing at the next hot/attractive person who walks through the door. Be in the moment with the person – that’s if you’re keen on pursuing.
Have fun and be yourself. I personally think that this is the best advice. Nothing worst that being stuck – albeit a few minutes – with someone who’s boring your brains out. Showing that we’re comfortable in our skin tells a lot – it shows sincerity, spontaneity and a positive carefree energy.
What other flirting tactics have your heard of or tried? Which works, and which are duds?
