Learning how to flirt

There is an art to flirting that few people truly master. You can flirt in a very innocent way, or you can do so in a more provocative way. In the right hands, flirting is an invaluable tool in any single persons' repertoire. True masters of the art are able to begin flirting with you without any hint of disrespect or lewd behavior. The idea being that you are noticing their attractiveness or other endearing quality. It is a subtle homage to the object of your flirt. When you are both single and looking, it can also be a door opener as well.

Often times harmless flirtation can be a signal to someone that you find them attractive and desirable. They may have never considered you in a romantic light until they get the proper signals from your flirtatious behavior. When done selectively and with respect, it can open up whole new possibilities for you.

When done in excess and with disrespect, it paints you as a very low class person. If you are in a relationship and you flirt with other women or men while around your mate, it shows tremendous disrespect. It can also lead to jealousy, the once desired, now despised emotion. No good will come from trying to make someone jealous by flirting with others.

Instead, use your flirting powers for good and not evil and you will ensure much love and good will in your life. There are many different ways to exert this power. Here are just a few:

Long Range Eye Contact Flirting: It is said that the eyes are the windows to our souls. They can also be the windows to our hearts. Humans are very visual beings, men in particular. Things or people that interest us often catch our eye. A glance from across the room that lasts just a moment beyond casual can send volumes of information to the person who discovers it. Seal it with a friendly, non threatening smile, and you've sent a definite message. If you receive a subtle smile back, you may have just received your answer.

Deflecting Their Self Doubt Flirt: Even the most arrogant individuals will sometimes admit to others one of their presumed faults. If you feel their comment is truly untrue, call them on it in with an ego building mention of disbelief. We all need to hear good things about ourselves from time to time. People look favorably upon those who are generous with their sincere praise.

Creative Flirting: By this we don't mean coming up with the most impressive line. Even the best written opening line is just that, an opening line. The object of your flirt should not feel preyed upon. They should feel flattered. Coming on too strong is almost always a mistake, especially with a stranger. Use some innocuous occurrence around you to trigger a comment that is flattering to your subject, but no so forward as to suggest a relationship at a level that doesn't yet exist.

Female Flirts: It should be noted that women should exercise some caution when flirting. Women need to realize that their flirtations are about ten times as effective as those practiced by men. Make sure that you truly desire more attention from your subject or at least that they won't take it in a way you don't wish them too. Don't flirt with letches unless you like letches. If you're just fishing around with your power of flirtation, make sure that you know how to throw back what you don't want. In other words, be respectful that your power of flirtation can be quite ominous. It can also give that someone the nudge they need to get up the courage to ask you out.
