Flirting Advice You Can Use Today


So what are you waiting for?

Need some flirting advice to get started?

Don't sweat it...we've got some great love tactics you can use right away.

Or maybe you are just oblivious to when someone is flirting with you?

Don't miss out on that perfect opportunity to meet someone.

Let's begin by stating the obvious.  Don't think that flirting alone will do the trick.

Think of it as an informal introduction.  Flirting is a way of getting someone's attention.  But you better have something to back it up...or you might never "seal the deal".

Flirting Advice

But let's start off with some flirting advice to make sure you know when (and if) someone might be trying to get your attention.

She/he makes subtle eye contact with you
  • An obvious sign of flirting is when someone makes eye contact with you.
  • Guys, a bit of flirting advice here...this doesn't mean eyeballing a woman from head to toe and back up again for a minute or two.  Big turn off!
  • But when a woman looks in your direction and lets her eyes linger on you, then she's showing a sign of flirting.

The person is having TOO good of a time
  • One way to spot if someone is flirting with you is that they seem to be enjoying themselves a little too much.
  • This might involve a lot of extra laughing, joking and louder than normal conversation.
  • Follow this up with the occasional eye contact and you are definitely being sent a clue that they are trying to get your attention.

The person is "Checking you out"
  • Both men AND woman like to check each other out.
  • But like we mentioned before, woman are a little more subtle than most men.
  • A bit of flirting advice.  Stop gawking!  There's a big difference between subtle gazing and "staring" at someone for an excessive amount of time.
  • Be aware of the "head to toe" look.  A quick scan from a persons face to their feet and back is a sign of flirting.
  • It usually means they have found something attractive about you and subconsciously wants to know more about you.

She/he keeps touching themselves and "self-grooming"
  • When a person knows you're checking them out, they often do their best to look good for you. Typically, actions will include preening and smoothing down clothes/hair.

Flirting Advice for Women
  • Give clear signals.  Let's face it, men are notoriously bad at interpreting signals from women.
  • Know what you want when you flirt and make sure your signals are clear and that they convey what you mean. It’s not fair to flirt with someone for the fun of it...unless, of course, they are obviously flirty themselves.
  • People love being around charismatic people because they spread good feelings. Get yourself into the right state for flirting and go for it.
  • Feel good about yourself and others will feel good about you.
  • Separate yourself from your friends for short periods of time.  No man wants to be rejected in front of a group of women, and he may well feel he cannot approach you when you are ‘protected’ by a group of other women.
  • Be polite when rejecting a man.  "Beat it loser" is not a very polite way of saying no.  If you are not interested, make it clear and be polite.
  • Cut down the talk about yourself and ask him open ended questions. Find out about him – after all people generally enjoy talking about themselves and feel flattered when someone shows an interest in them.
  • Make the first move!  Most men (the vast majority) would love to be approached by a woman.
  • And always be yourself.  If you are playing, you’ll get found out sooner or later.

Flirting Advice for Men
  • Flirting Advice for MenKnow what you want and what is reasonable to expect.  Let's be honest, some men flirt with women primarily to get sex.

     But if you put that aside for a bit and flirt just to be friendly you are opening yourself to different opportunities.
  • Make sure your hair is clean and your body and breath smell good.
  • Know that when you buy a woman a drink, that is all you are buying.  Don’t expect her to fall at your feet.
  • Don’t flirt with everyone in the joint.  No woman wants to feel like second best.
  • Refrain from approaching one after another in the same group. You look like a loser and the women may think you are desperate.
  • Concentrate on the conversation, not on getting a date.  Most women want to know what kind of person they are going out with.
  • Make an effort to get to know her before diving in for a date.
  • Give genuine compliments.  There’s nothing worse than someone giving out a load of bull. Everyone has something great about them, notice that and compliment them genuinely.
  • Keep your hands to yourself and respect their space.
  • If you ask for a phone number, be sure you want to use it.
  • And always be yourself.
