FLIRTING 101

This short course in flirting will not only teach you how to flirt, but also tell when someone is flirting with you, and how to respond.

FLIRT;   to behave as though attracted to or trying to attract someone, but for amusement rather than serious intentions.

RULE #1

Make Eye Contact

One of the best ways to let someone know that you're interested and approachable is to make eye contact from across the room.  Don't stare!  Nobody likes a stalker, but let your look linger long enough to establish a clear connection.

RULE #2

Expect Reality

You're flirting, not proposing.  So keep your expectations in line with the activity.  

RULE #3 

Don't Overthink It 

Anxiety sets in about the uncertainty that comes with approaching someone that you've never met.  Stop worrying about how you look, or the perfect opening line and letting your brain get in the way.  Just dive in!!!

RULE #4

Tease

Subtle teasing is a good way to flirt with a member of either sex.  Most guys like women who are sassy and aren't afraid to challenge them a little.  Most women enjoy a man that will engage in a lil back and forth.

RULE #5

Reserve Judgement

Lack of chemistry is one thing, but don't be quick to reject someone based on one minor mishap.  9 times out of 10 you're both nervous.  So give them the benefit of the doubt, and keep talking.

RULE #6

Lean In

Use body language to show you're interested, open and ready for more.

RULE #7

Bump Elbows

I got this one from a movie I saw.  A quick bump of the elbows not only softens the mood, but provides familiarity and suggest there is more touching ahead.

RULE #8

Flirt Online

Modern technology has made it easy to flirt with people you may never actually meet.  Also because nearly everyone has a smartphone, you can flirt from anywhere 24/7.

RULE #9

Send Over A Drink

Because every great story starts with drinks.  Lol.

RULE #10

Dance To The Music

If you've made it this far.... DANCE TO THE MUSIC LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING!!!
