Sometimes if your shy, you can make it iwork for you when you spy someone you fancy or want to flirt with. Try this, give 'em your BEST or sweetest shy smile, then quickly look away. It helps also if you naturally get a bit embarrassed & you look more attractive if you blush too! It usually gets their attention or melts their heat.

Sometimes if the guy you fancy is used to getting lots of attention, has an inflated ego,then show him your a challenge, different, that your not a push over or daft enough to chase him. Make him notice you, make him chase you instead!

Trust me this works with this kinda fella!

I find that if you ask someone a question about himself, with a nice big smile, it starts a conversation that marks you a sa good listener.

NOT my flirting technique: "You're so hot, you're the cause of global warming." - Some guy actually SAID this with a straight face.

I don't have one of my own but was thrown a good one the other day, 'You're eyes (which are very blue)....they remind me of my country. They are the color of the sea." Of course this prompted me to ask where he was from and blah, blah blah.

Years ago I had a serious eye infection in both eyes. My good friend Angela whom I had been interested in for quite some time came over to visit with me. I was gross to look at, resembling a frog. She asked me how my eyes were feeling. Without thinking I replied "As long as they're looking at you they feel fine." She moved in with me a month later.

Every once in a while i try this flirt technique to see if it STILL works, because some 15 years ago i tried it and it worked very well. There was this very nice looking and well dressed man coming outside of this building and i walked up to him and looked him dead in the eye and told him this. My you are so good looking, if you would fit, i would put you in my purse and take you home with me. the man blushed so hard he couldn't say anything, he just smiled and walked way grinning from ear to ear.

flirting is definately an art form. Those of us women that know how to use it, definately have an advantage in this world. For me, I was lucky enough to be born with pretty eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul, so at an early age I studied how women look at men. How they look when they are angry, upset, happy, and of course interested! Flirting comes from your mind. You have to feel confident, sexy and bold in order to pull off flirting. Ladies, if you are not feeling perfect. Put on your best outfit, do your hair, make up and whatever else makes you feel like a million bucks and then get out there and make contact! Go to the book store and find someone you think is attractive and make eye contact and HOLD it! There is nothing more moving then having a man hold your stare and smiling at you! Try it! It works!

Its interesting that most women I meet enjoy being the first to throw a flirtatious smile, wink or greeting. However, I have noticed that on the flipside of the coin, most women scuff or simply ignore men when they try the same. The reason for this, i think is because most women think men just want to get into their pants. The truth is, although many men do, most men don't. Its just all fun.

i like haveing sex

When I'm at a stoplight and I catch the eye of a driver next to me (or in the rear view mirror of the car in front of me), I flash my biggest friendly smile and then drive off with the green light. It usually catches people off guard and there is about a 70% return rate of a big smile or a wave in return.

be the "guy's girl"! Hanging out with friends at a local bar, it's always fun to watch a guy's look of surprise when I order a tall, cold lager while my friends order martinis. Don't be afraid to jump in on football trivia, and when he teases you, tease back! It's all about showing your strength, and appealing to his masculinity... guys like women that don't mind getting a little messy and relaxing!

As you noted, one has to be confident and feel absolutely terrific to pull off a successful repartee flirt. Most times I do not set out to flirt. I don't know if age has anything to do with it - Ill be 60 3/15. Not all men provoke it. Some examples of when I'm in the mood: On a rainy day I'll wear an orange slicker or other bright colors. This usually sparks a remark even before I open my mouth. Once I said in a supermarket when I almost hit a man with my cart: "You're lucky I don't drive this way!" Then I'll get: " Well, I don't know!". Lastly, what works too when I'm in an electronics store and see a cute salesman: "Hi, if you were a charger, where would you be?"
Thanks,

Hold their gaze from across the room, smile, and then look down like you're too shy to keep up the eye contact. When he does come over to talk to you, be sure to laugh freely if the mood strikes you. Your joy is contagious.
When I was single, it worked every time!

I have tinnitus, and have since I was quite young--it runs in my family.
When I was in my early twenties, and meeting guys, with my friends, in the bars and nightclubs of Chicago, I usually did quite well, gaining the attention of almost any man I was interested in, dispite there being enough more physically attractive (and physically-welcoming) girls around.
I was often accused of being a terrible flirt! "I don't know what you mean!" I protested to Tom, a friend I had a mad crush on. He explained that my rep. had been earned because I leaned in so close when speaking with men. What he & everyone else didn't realize was that I had to lean in to hear anything they said, as my tinnitus was so awful in noisy bars!
So, lean in! Get a little closer! Watch the mouth of the person who's talking to you...in short, act like you can't really hear the man...it worked for me!

Eye contact. The look. It has always worked for me. It will make a man walk accross the room.
