Master the Art of Flirtation

For some, flirting with a potential companion feels as natural as breathing. For others, it can feel forced, causing much anxiety and confusion. But no matter who you are, flirting is an important skill to master. Think of it as an art, but one that can be learned with some practice and the right approach.

Flirting should be fun, so lower your expectations and don’t take yourself too seriously. If you expect to date someone the moment they act flirtatious, then you’re likely to come across as desperate. You may only speak with them for a short period of time and then never talk to them again. So, keep your initial expectations low and avoid feeling constantly disappointed.

It is important to be aware of body language especially during the initial approach. If you see someone from across the room, smile at them, hold their gaze, and position your body toward them. If they respond positively, then you can walk up to them and introduce yourself. You’ve got nothing to lose!

Remember, the key to holding a good conversation is that you both gradually open up. When the other person is talking, make sure you give them your complete attention. It is much more important to be a good listener than it is to say something witty. Try to act friendly, upbeat, and remember to have fun!
