Do you know how to FLIRT?
Most people I hope have been on the dating scene! Well, remember the first time you meet someone and the ways you flirt with each other; the signals you give off when you perhaps may like the other person?
This morning on the train, I watched two 20 somethings flirt their backsides off and it made me giggle the kind of things that they would do:
- Grinning from ear to ear
- The boy laughing at the girl’s jokes when they weren’t that funny (sorry!)
- The play taps on each other’s legs and harms; defiantly a sign they like each other
- Picking on each other; not in a mean way, more in a fun have a laugh and be a smart ass way
- The girl flicking her hair and the ultimate move; pulling her lip gloss out and applying
- This girl sure knew her stuff; she did the whole damsel in distress thing needing him to give her a tissue when she had a sudden hayfever attack – bonus points!
Now, I don’t know whether they have let each other known that they totally adore each other but they’re was some sure fire chemistry there and I must say, some excellent flirting skills.
Some people however, don’t know how to flirt. They don’t know what signals to give off if they fancy someone, nor do they know how to read romantic signals. So here’s some tips and feel free to add more:
1) Body Language is the key: turn towards your date with an open chest. This means that you are interested in the other person and you are generally keen on them
2) Girls use the flick of the hair, the biting of your lips, applying lip gloss. It’s bringing attention to your feminine side especially your lips which generally means you really like the other person
3) Laugh lots even if the jokes aren’t all that good! It’ll make the other person feel comfortable and hey, everyone loves a good laugh!
4) The odd tap on the shoulder or the knee is a clue the other person likes you. That touchy feely contact means they like you and probably want you to do it back to see if you’re keen
5) Remember at primary school when boys use to pick on the girls and vice versa? Generally it meant they had a little crush on them – being a smart ass, play fighting or imitating them is a sign they secretly like you. Although it’s nicer to have friendly gestures, this is some people’s way of telling someone they like them
6) Chicks – be a damsel in distress. Guys love helping out a girl whether it be advice, changing the tyre on your car, etc. It makes them feel important and that they are neeced! Try it – they love it!!! But don’t go too far that you become high maintenance!
That’s just a few to get you thinking? Do you have your sure fire way of successful flirting? Put it out there and share it with us!

Do have a story that may or may not have constituted flirting, one of those instances where I was confused, like I said earlier, but maybe I'll save that for another day
That's what I am here for and who knows, maybe others will have an idea as well!

to which she replied yeah ive seen u round and i said wish i could say the same-prob not the smartest thing to have said- but yeah if i had seen her around before i would have remembered her if that makes sense.
not really sure if it was flirting or just making friendly conversation-lame story i know,lol
ciao
Hmmm sometimes it's hard to distinguish between being friendly and flirting and unfortunately from one moment in the lift you can't really tell!
I'd say keep talking to her. Next time you see her strike up a conversation, find out more about her - possibly if she lives with a boyfriend???
Maybe after a couple of run ins, invite her over for a drink or have a party at your apartment and invite her. That way you can get to know her better!
Good luck - what have you got to lose!

Thanks for your message!
Firstly are you friends with this girl? If not, I wouldn't go straight in and ask her out on a date!
Introduce yourself and everytime you see her make conversation. When you're friendly with each other maybe casually suggest going for a drink sometime or dinner?
If she says no, well her lost but you honestly don't have anything to lose!
What do you think?
