How to Flirt You suddenly spotted someone across the crowded room, and you want to know that you’re interested in getting to know them. The question is how to work enough skills and courage to actually flirt with someone without being too obvious. Well here are the steps to help you get your flirt on. The first step is to give an easy and non-risky four-second glance. Which you would hold someone’s gaze for four seconds, look away, and then look back. It may sound a little lengthy at the time you look at someone, but any less than this might mean a casual look. The second step which is the best skill to do when attracting someone’s attention is to simply smile. People often list the smile as the most attractive feature. It’s easy to see why, a genuine smile can transform your features and make you seem fun and a happy person. If you don’t smile or seem fun you could easily change the whole mood, causing a danger that you’ll look like you’re in a bad temper and don’t want to waste your time. Maybe you just have some dirty, crusted up teeth. That’s not a good sign. This third step is some common sense, it should not be hard for anyone to do. So, please take care of your looks, don’t wear sweatpants, shirts that are dirty, and or clothes that make you look a tad homeless. Go shopping at some stores that most people shop at to get some name brand clothes and or something appealing. We want to look attractive! Showering would be an option also, can’t smell like some nasty trash. Yuck! Wear some new perfume or cologne that will make them remember that specific smell every time and leave that impression on you, just a few sprays not the whole bottle! Fourth step is continue using body language to get a feel for how you and your partner are feeling each other out...not literally meaning, but getting each other’s vibe. Copying and or mirroring the other person’s body language is the highest form of flattering, and you two are sharing a connection together. This is good! Never copy move by move this isn’t a mimicking game.
Fifth step of this process in flirting is moving out of just body language and moving onto conversations! If everything above is going well, the next thing to do is to strike up an interesting conversation. Talk about topics that keep the conversation flowing, we don’t want that awkward conversation, for an example “Do you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle or the end?”
