Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. 1. Share your problems with this person, moan, and sulk about things. When you flirt, you are supposed to be positive and smile.
2. 2. If this person starts to flirt, block it. Ignore him or her, or just give back no signals.
3. 3. Don't look the person in the eye. Concentrate on something else while you talk to him or her, and if you do look at the person, don't hold the gaze, but don't look nervous or scared either.
4. 4. Motion a friend to come over. If a friend senses your discomfort, they'll often intervene.
5. 5. Leave. Politely tell them that you have somewhere else to get to or someone else you need to talk to.
6. 6. Talk about how great your significant other is.

Tips & Warnings

• Warnings • Don't touch the person. Touching is a main ingredient to flirting. • Don't ask too many questions ... you don't want to seem interested.
