The 'Dirty' On Being Flirty |
According to experts in nonverbal communication, our body language plays an important role in courtship as a subtle or subconscious communication technique between two prospective partners.
Don’t know how to flirt? Romance Agent Leona Hamel replies, "It’s really a mind thing. Anybody can flirt. What they need is the right attitude. Think sexy; feel sexy; act sexy; be sexy. Sophia Loren said it best, 'Sex appeal is 50 percent what you’ve got and 50 percent what people think you’ve got.'"
Flirting is the means we use to demonstrate our interest. It’s part of human nature; some even argue that it’s instinctual. Instinctual or not, flirting can be a precursor to greater things to come. Hamel quickly adds, "Contrary to what many people think flirting is not just for singles. It’s a great come-on for couples too." In "The ABC’s of Tease & Please – A Romance Handbook," her sexy persona LouLou L’Amour writes: "Flirt with your partner. The next time the two of you are out in public together, whisper something sexy; wink at each other from across the room; ask your partner, 'Your place or mine?'"
Although there are several books and articles available on the subject of flirting, many tend to highlight specific flirting gestures and the creative lines you can use to win the attention of the other party. Flirting is a lot more than just batting your eyelashes or flaring your nostrils. When you get right down to it, the two most important skills to master flirting are confidence and sincerity. After all, are they not two qualities you would be looking for in a prospective partner?
Here are some practical tips to add to your flirting techniques:
Smile!
Body language experts agree that smiling can make you more attractive and more approachable.
Watch your posture!
It can project confidence and interest. Try adopting a similar posture to your prospective partner to create rapport.
Act interested and be interesting!
This is no time to go off on a tangent and monopolize the conversation. And no bringing up the exes, the children, or what’s wrong at the office. Keep the conversation on a positive, happy note.
Laugh!
Humor is great for breaking the ice, not to mention it’s a quality that ranks top of the list for most men and women seeking a partner.
If at first you don’t succeed, you know what they say … practice, practice, practice!
