How to Flirt! (for men)

Learn how to flirt! Flirting for men is an easy step-by-step guide to how to get a date or girlfriend. This is part of my dating tips series.

Things You'll Need

• A clean, pulled-together look
• A smile

Instructions

1. First, dress in something comfortable and stylish. Stylish does not have to mean trendy. Something basic and clean should do fine. Make sure you've showered, brushed your teeth, and that you've shaved to a comfortable extent. Nothing is more off-putting than bad breath or B.O.!

2. If you are approaching someone you've never met before, you don't have to do so in a bar. The best place to meet nice women is out in the world! How about a park, walking a dog, a museum, the grocery store, a concert... there are a thousand non-shady places to meet women. Once you want to make contact, don't come up with a line, or just simply introduce yourself. Just comment on your mutual surroundings. Example: In a store? "I'm so glad plums are back in season." In a park? "Aw, look at that cute dog!"

3. Ask questions! But make sure they're not too personal too soon. Don't ask where she lives. Ask if she loves plums as much as you do, or if she has a dog of her own.

4. Really listen to her answers. There is nothing more attractive than someone who is earnestly caring, and a good listener. Be relaxed, and think about your questions and answers for a moment before you say them, so you won't stutter, or sound awkward.

5. If this is someone you're meeting for the first time, be sure to ask for an email address, or her blog address so you'll be able to contact her again. In this day and age, phone numbers are too personal to give out right away.

   If this is someone you work with, or someone you are likely to run into again anyway, just repeat the process next time, and after not too long, then ask for an email or number.

6. Now you have her info, and can ask for a date! Make it coffee, a short day trip, or something fun and non-committal for the first one. After that, be yourself, never lie to seem cooler, ask her questions, and CARE ABOUT HER ANSWERS!! You have now mastered the rare and ancient art of flirting!
