Good flirts smile and laugh easily. It's hard to flirt if you wear an expression like Manto Tshabalala-Msimang having a bad hair day.
If you fancy a guy, make eye contact. Just staring at him without blinking will make you look crazed. Instead, hold his gaze for three seconds, look away and then coyly look back at him again. If he returns your gaze, you can accelerate down the flirting highway. Here are a few more truly fabulous flirting tips:
Keep it light:
"You look great in that leather jacket" will fluff
up his feathers. "Men in leather get me really hot" will make him nervous.
Shake your booty:
Dancing can be an immense turn-on. Good
flirts are always willing to dance.
Pay attention to posture:
Self-confidence must be cultivated
as a daily practice, like meditation. Walk tall and keep your
shoulders back.
Mirror his movements:
This will imply that your bodies are
in sync. This happens subconsciously when two people are
really getting on. Can a physical meeting be far behind...?
Treat him like a brother:
This is useful if you feel shy. Think
of the easy confidence you'd use if you were talking to a sibling.
Reach out:
Once you've established eye contact and the body
language is welcoming, you can move on to "accidental"
touching by casually brushing up against him. (Women always
touch first, according to a Channel 4 documentary on flirting.)
Find things you have in common: Sentences like "I feel like that, too!" establish rapport.
