I bet if I asked you “what is flirting?” you would give me a roll of the eye and a quick answer, but do you REALLY know what flirting is?
The Flirting Bible
What is Flirting?
- Flirting is a wonderful icebreaker and tension reducer.
- Flirting is testing the romantic waters. It’s the best way to make a connection with someone.
- Flirting is a great way to let someone know that you find them interesting, attractive, fun or appealing to you.
Here are my top ten flirting tips guaranteed to make you a fabulous flirt. Are you ready??
- 10. Flirting is an Attitude: A great flirt is self confident and not afraid to take a risk. Be enthusiastic and positive, it works!
- 9. Start a Conversation: The best opening line is saying hello! Talk
about the surroundings, ask a question, ask for help, or state an opinion.
- Have Fun: Be playful, light hearted and spontaneous. Let your sense of humor shine through.
7. Use Props: Never leave home without a prop. Props are natural conversation starters. They encourage conversation and others will be compelled to start talking to you. Amazing props include dogs, kids, unusual jewelry, a fabulous scent, a sweatshirt with your favorite passion, an eye catching tie, or an interesting book or magazine.
6. Be the Host: Change your behavior from the role of guest to host. You are not the passive person in waiting, but rather the welcoming committee.
5. Make the First Move: Move closer, pay a compliment, make eye contact, or say hi to the person you want to meet.
4. Listen: You have two ears and one mouth because you should listen twice as much as you talk. Practice active listening. Your flirting partner will be drawn to you. Everyone loves to be listened to!
3. Eye Contact: Make eye contact, but please look your flirting interest in the eye gently, no more than 2-4 seconds, look away. Don’t stare – it’s a turn off.
2. Compliment: Compliment your flirting partner. The best compliments have the element of surprise. The “flirtee” will know that you really noticed them. Your compliments must be honest, sincere, and genuine. When you receive a compliment the best response is merely thank you.
1. Smile: It is contagious! It will make you so much more approachable. A smile lights up your face and it will draw people towards you. You will be a people magnet! Try it.
