Sometimes it can be difficult to make your romantic intentions known when you are interested in someone. You cannot very well blurt it out in public! This is where flirting comes in.
Flirting is the playful way to show you are interested in someone. It does not mean using cheesy pick-up lines and come ons, those just make you look desperate and silly. Flirting should be a conversation, and there’s no reason why it cannot be a productive, classy give-and-take between two adults who want to explore the possibility of chemistry between them.
However, you should also learn how to read when the other person is not into you. That is your cue to leave them alone. When in doubt about what to do with someone new you’re interested in, these tips will guide you to a fruitful relationship with the opposite sex.
TALK ABOUT HIS INTERESTS
Yes, flirting is not just talking about yourself, he matters too. In fact, he should matter more than you do because he should be your interest. Ask about what he likes to do, where he grew up, his job and his hobbies. Keep the spotlight on him; people like to feel like they are heard. That is a sure way of keeping his interest and making him reciprocate.
BE SINCERE
You don’t need to lie about yourself to make yourself seem interesting. Don’t try to be coy, be yourself. Let your compliments be sincere, your comments true.
BE PLAYFUL AND FUN
Keep topics playful, fun and light. Every time he smiles is a win for you. Having a sense of humor will make you sexier and more interesting.
MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT
Don’t be that girl that keeps looking away bashfully, it’s not cute. Instead, it projects a lack of confidence in yourself. Look him in the eye when talking, and don’t be afraid to keep that eye contact with him. It is an encouraging sign to him that he is doing something right and should keep doing it.
TOUCH APPROPRIATELY
Touch is a touchy subject when it comes to flirting, as it can easily cross over into inappropriate territory. Sometimes people don’t want to be touched, or they don’t like being touched. Their wishes should be respected explicitly. This is why a light touch should only be initiated after you have talked enough to know that you and him are on the same page.
With these tips, you will communicate your interest effectively and initiate a productive relationship.
