every day. - people who might not even be on your dating radar - on order to
hone your skills. That way, you'll have some flirting experience under your
belt when you approach the people who really matter.
We've put together five tips to help you become a better flirt.
1. Flirt via text or email
It's hard, especially if you're shy or introverted to walk up to someone you've never met before and start successful flirty. It's
moments like this when "bad" pick-up lines start to seem like a good
idea. (And honestly, they never are.) Try breaking the ice with your crush by flirting through the wall of
social media -- it makes you feel a little less vulnerable.
2. Make eye contact and smile
Look into the eyes of your crush when you talk, particularly
at meaningful points in the conversation. And don't forget the power of a wink.
Yes, it can be cheesy, but if you do it when you're talking in a group, it will
seem like you and crush are "in" on an inside joke.
3. Don't talk about yourself.
If you really want to get to know someone, you want them to
be interested in you. Instead of telling your crush about yourself at the risk
of sounding like you're bragging, ask questions and engage your crush in
conversation.
4. Use body language
Inappropriate touching is never going to get you where you
want to go, but you should take every opportunity to seem open and receptive to
conversation. Turn your body toward the other person. Stand or sit so that
you're facing the person you're flirting up. Angle your torso toward him or
her, or point your feet in that direction.
5. Always leave them wanting more
As much as you might want to be with this person forever,
it's best to bow out before the conversation goes stale. The best way to avoid wearing
out your welcome is to leave before it happens. This will also provide you with
a much needed air of mystery.
