All it takes is a wink and a smile (and a little bit of confidence) to flirt like a pro and leave a trail of broken hearts in your wake. Everyone has it in them to be a world class flirt, but to free your inner coy energy there are a few simple tricks you need to master. Practice the tips listed below and you will have ‘em eating out of the palm of your hand in no time…

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Before you do anything else, you
  • must
  • psych your confidence up. It doesn’t matter if you are gorgeous, thin, well dressed, or have a great hair cut. The real secret to flirting is confidence. The attitude you need to have is, “I am so
Step1
The following list describes several tricks that, when applied all together, create the undisputable yet subtle message of: you’ve got my attention. The best flirtations are not the ostentations winking, suggestive comments, or uncomfortable attention, but the moments and gestures when you show the object of your flirtation that – for whatever reason – they have stood out to you, and you are rewarding them by showering them with your attention and praise. You want to make your object feel good, comfortable, and lucky that you are interested, or at least noticed them. So these tricks are focused on making your objects feel great about themselves and totally intrigued by you. Good luck!
Step2
Eye contact:
Don’t underestimate the power of eye contact. Not only does it communicate to your flirting target that you are confident, it is also a basic yet forceful means of connection between people. Make eye contact and hold it when you are speaking to someone, but also feel free to catch someone’s gaze across the room. Seeking eye contact actively is a great way to show interest in someone and let them know you’ve noticed them. Just be careful how much you give and how forcefully you stare – you don’t want to creep them out!
Step3
Smile:
Whether it is a little, half-mouthed smile, a big full-tooth grin, or a demure “I-have-a-secret” twist of the lips, a smile is a welcoming facial gesture that helps you be more approachable and attractive. Think about it, do you find people who are gloomy all the time more interesting than people who are bright, engaged, and positive – the answer is obvious! Combine a little smile with eye contact and you have the first power move of flirting. Direct it at your targets with caution, it will make a big impact!
Step4
Giggle/laugh:
Laugh, twitter, and giggle like there is no tomorrow. Once you have picked your target, engage them in conversation and act like you’re enjoying it by smiling, making eye contact, and laughing (where appropriate). Everyone likes to think someone enjoys what they have to say, or thinks they are funny, so even if you have to stretch it a little bit go ahead and give a chuckle. If you’re a girl, try to make it melodic and lilting. If you’re a guy, a sound that is a bit more manly yet soft is a good pick. Tee-hee!
Step5
Compliment:
A little compliment can go a long way – remember that phrase, “Flattery will get you anywhere”? Well it is true, it will even get you flirtatious attention. Spread out compliments like no tomorrow, don’t be ashamed to tell someone they look good, you like their hair cut, or those shoes. And feel free to embellish. Don’t just say, “oh, hey, I like that shirt,” and then walk away. Make a big deal out of it! If you pass them in the hallway, stop, make eye contact, smile, and say “I just had to tell you how fabulous you look in that shirt, it make you look like [insert celebrity here]! I saw you walk in earlier and was totally blown away, you look great today!” End with a bright giggle, bigger smile, and then walk away.
This is what we call a flirt hit-and-run: you throw the charm on high for a brief minute and then leave them thinking about you and feeling good.
Step6
Physical contact:
The only way the above situation could be made more flirty is if you added a little physical contact. I’m not talking man-handling, I’m talking about a light hand-on-the-forearm while you are talking kind of contact. Not trashy, not suggestive, but warm, endearing, non-invasive contact that brings your conversation (or compliment) to the next level of power: the physical level. These moves should come naturally and not seem rehearsed, but work to endear the object of your flirtation to you and let them know that they have something a little extra in your eyes. Arm, shoulder, back: these are all great places for casual, but meaningful physical contact.

Tips & Warnings

  • Be yourself
  • Be confident
  • Be kind and positive
  • These steps will get you a lot of attention - use with caution ;)
