How to Flirt

Things You’ll Need:
Cologne
Breath Fresheners
Perfume
Lip Gloss

Step1
Start by working on your self-esteem. The underlying key to all flirtation is confidence, the magical charm that makes others want to get to know you.

Step2
Smile, smile, smile.

Step3
Think playful thoughts when gearing up to flirt. Flirts are fun and engaging, and they love to play with others.

Step4
Compliment a stranger or acquaintance on his or her clothes, eyes, smile or sense of humor for starters.

Step5
Keep your body language open and inviting: make eye contact, lightly touch the person's hand or arm when telling a story, toss your head back when you laugh.

Step6
Initiate stimulating conversation. At a loss for words? Ask open-ended questions about the flirtee's job, hometown, family, recent movies seen, or thoughts about a painting on the wall.

Step7
Open up about yourself, giving someone even more reason to like you. But don't go on and on - the goal is to engage and intrigue, not bore.

Step8
Gauge the person's interest carefully. If you sense a flashing red light - or worse, smug ridicule - make your exit graciously, and immediately. You've got nicer people to meet.

Step9
Progress in your flirtation, paying attention to cues from the object of your interest. If you perceive a sensual or sexual connection, make a bold move - ask for a date.
