How do I flirt? How do I know when girls are flirting with me?

Flirting is quite simple, really. Some people do it without realizing it. It is just a techinique to show girls you are attracted to them and/or you are deserving of attention without spelling it out. It is bad to be blunt in attraction, because being too obvious will make the girl feel uncomfortable.

Remember to use effective body language when flirting, because you don't want to come off as a geek. You should know that there are flirting techniques not listed in the articles below. I will cover those further down the page.

Here is a quote from a weekly dating newsletter:

"I'd like to share with you some flirting techniques. 
As you probably know already, flirting is the ultimate KEY to
building up sexual chemistry with women. As I tell my readers
all the time, you should always try to "flirt for skirt!"

	Here are some flirting moves I would like you to try 
this weekend...

Flirting Technique: Eye-Contact

	Most of flirting is done with your eyes. Keep good 
	eye-contact on a woman when you talk to her. Just keep 
	your eyes focused on her a bit "too long."

	"Next time you're with a girl, increase your eye contact 
with her to about eighty percent of the time when you talk to her. 
Try to look DEEPLY into her eyes and even through it. Of course, 
you don't have to count how many seconds you have to look at her. 
Simply let your eyes be glued to hers a little longer, even 
during the silences; and when you finally must look away, drag 
your eyes away slowly as if you're feeling quite reluctantly, and 
look back at her again as soon as you can."


Flirting Technique: Say "Hello" With Energy

	When you approach a woman, say "Hello" in a flirty way. 
	It will make her think you e sexier than the average 
	geek who walks up to her and gives her a shy "Hi". 

Flirting Technique: Shake Her Hand A Bit Too Long

	When you shake her hand, let your hand stay on hers 
	for a bit too long and then brush against her hand as 
	you pull back. Do this while smiling and looking into 
	her eyes sincerely. You don want to come off as a 
	pervert. 

Flirting Technique: Repeat The Woman's Name

	As you talk to her, repeat her name as much as you can. 
	Say her name slow, softly and sensually each time you 
	say it.

	Example: "Hello, De-bbie, I am very glad you came 
		  here..."

Flirting Technique: Stir Your Drink

	Stir your drink with a rhythm as you talk to her. 
	The effect can be "hypnotizing" under the right 
	atmosphere. 

Flirting Technique: Lower Your Volume

	Lower and lower your volume so she has to lean towards 
	you to listen.

Flirting Technique: Whisper

	When she gets close enough, whisper to her. This works 
	well in a bar, when the music is so loud you have to 
	talk in each other ears.

Flirting Technique: Be Playful

	Ask yourself the following questions:
		1)    How much fun can I have tonight?
		2)    What sorts of interesting things can I 
		      find out about this girl?

Flirting Technique: Use Nicknames

	When you get closer to a woman, make up a cute nickname 
	for her.

Flirting Technique: Touch Her Back

	If she starts touching you, then touch her on the 
	shoulder or arm when you laugh. Increase the frequency of 
	touching as the night goes on.

Flirting Technique: Leave Her Wanting More

	Do what strippers do the guys. Get a girl all hot and 
	then leave her wanting more!

Flirting Technique: Laugh At Her Jokes
	
	Laugh at her jokes whenever she makes one. Touch her on 
	the arm lightly when you laugh if she's already touching you.

Flirting Technique: Listen To Her Stories

	Pay attention to what she says. Be focused on her, not 
	on the hot waitress. 

Flirting Technique: Drop A Compliment

	Drop her a compliment every once in awhile. Not too often 
	though!

Flirting Technique: Tease Her

	Incorporate teasing into your flirting. Tease her till 
	she's wet!

Flirting Technique: Get More Personal

	Ask her more and more personal questions as the evening 
	progresses. Things about her childhood, etc!"

The following text is from the article, "The Top 10 Signs Women are Flirting With You."

"Flirting is almost an art form. It takes much practice to execute the 
subtle signals of interest with perfect timing. Thankfully, there is no 
shortage of flirting tips for men out there. However, flirting is only half the 
battle. To truly make your rapport with a woman successful, you need to 
recognize when she's flirting with you. 


Women are masters of subtlety, so it's your job to remain especially aware of 
every gesture, every word, and every move she throws your way. Always remember 
that attentiveness is key. 



*A WORD TO THE WISE* 

Although the signs that a woman is interested in you can boil down to these 10 
points, you need to know that any single point can be deceptive. The lady 
you're chatting up may be an attention-seeking serial flirter with no 
intentions of ever going on a date with you. 

Or she might simply be very nice and friendly with everyone, not just you. If 
you see her often (at work, for example), a good way to tell is by paying 
attention to how she reacts to others. If it's the same way she behaves with 
you, then don't get your hopes up. 

The following flirting signs are good for all settings, whether in a coffee 
shop, restaurant, nightclub, or at work. So sharpen your senses and read on. 



Number 10 



She keeps glancing over 
Are her eyes aimed at you every time you look her way? And does she avert her 
gaze whenever you catch her staring? Then you might have a live here. If she 
doesn't prolong the eye contact, then she's probably shy and needs a little 
coaxing from you. Go up to her, introduce yourself, and get her talking. You 
know you're doing well when... 


Number 9 



She smiles at you 
The smile is the ultimate sign of openness and friendliness, provided it is 
genuine. Many people force a smile when trying to be polite, but they tend to 
be fairly obvious about it. If she shows her teeth and has that sparkle in her 
eye, then you can deduce that she's enjoying your company. Your only job is to 
keep her smiling by smiling back. 


Number 8 



She goes out of her way to get you to notice her 
If, on her way from point A to point B, she takes an unnecessary detour through 
point C (you), she might be trying to get your attention. For instance, if she
 walks by your table "on her way" to the washroom in a coffee shop, but your 
table is located at the opposite end of the restrooms, she is probably 
interested. Why else would she be taking the long way? If she smiles at you on 
her way, consider your job half done. 


Number 7 



She plays with her hair 
Women's hair is a source of power and confidence to them -- why else would they 
get so devastated after a bad haircut? They tap into its power at key moments, 
subconsciously unleashing its seductive potential. If you see her twirling her 
finger through it or throwing it around, like in a shampoo commercial, then you 
have a potential flirt in your midst. 

This goes for body language in general. Some women like exposing their necks, 
prepping their clothes, or placing their arms in front of them in a way that 
their biceps push their breasts together, augmenting their cleavage. Some 
magazines tell women to let their shoes dangle at their toes, displaying the 
curvature of their feet, which men, apparently, associate with their other 
curves. However, if she's crossing her arms, it means she's distancing herself.
 Be alert. 


Number 6 



She initiates the conversation 
Taking the first step to initiate a connection with you is a huge sign that 
she's interested. If she tells you something like "You remind me of someone I 
know," which begs a response and subsequent conversation, that's a concrete 
sign. 

During the conversation, she may further convey her interest by asking you open-
ended questions -- watch out fellas, they're starting to use our own weapons 
against us! She might also whisper "secrets" to you, bringing your faces close 
together, perhaps letting you get a good whiff of her perfume. 


Number 5 



She laughs at your jokes 
When you relate a funny story, does she throw her head back in riotous laughter 
or does she just look at you and say, "Is that supposed to be funny?" A big 
part of flirting involves reactions to the partner, so if she acts captivated 
by your words, you're in the green. Other reactions that convey approval 
include asking "really?", "wow" and opening her mouth in amused disbelief. 


Number 4 



She asks if you like certain activities 
Does she ask you about your hobbies? Is she being more specific, and asking you 
if you like a particular pastime? Although she is not actually asking you for a 
date, it's an implied way of doing it. She could be leading up to asking you 
out or paving the ground for you to pop the question instead. If the activity 
in question is dancing, movies or dinner, then it is almost certain. 


Number 3 



She pays you a compliment 
Women are sparse with compliments, so if she throws one your way, you can pat 
yourself on the back. This is especially good if it has to do with your 
physique, as this implies that she is attracted to you. Another way she may 
demonstrate her interest is by repeating your name, letting you know that you 
are memorable and establishing a closer, more intimate connection with her. 


Number 2 



She makes sexual comments 
Some women like to put themselves in the mood by talking about things that turn
 them on. It brings out their frisky side. So if she steers the conversation to 
sexy topics, she could be trying to pull you into a flirting crescendo that 
might lead to a veritable verbal foreplay. Most times they will keep it 
understated and tasteful, so you should do the same. A crass slip-up is a sure-
fire way to ruin the rapport. 


Number 1 



She touches you 
When a woman breaks the contact barrier during a conversation, it is almost a 
sure sign that she's interested. It can be as obvious as touching your arm or 
knee while making a point, or as faint as having her knees come into contact 
with yours under the table. But you must make sure that she makes the first 
skin convergence. 

A less direct way is if she mirrors your body language, which is something 
women do subconsciously. When you lean in, she leans in. When you rest your 
elbows on the table, she does the same. Duplicating your actions is her way of 
showing you that she's "in-synch" with you. 


*FLIRT FREELY* 



Since some of the above signals could just be gestures of friendliness on a 
woman's part, you should count a minimum of four before you conclude that she 
is, indeed, flirting with you. If she commits five or more, your evening is 
set. 

So now you know the theory, but recognizing her signals on the spot takes time, 
especially when they're too subtle to be detected by the untrained eye. And 
though you should constantly be alert, don't get yourself into a state of tense 
vigilance, where you're looking for nothing else but the aforementioned signs.
 Keep cool, relax and enjoy yourself. In time, women's flirtation techniques 
will become as clear as traffic signals."

TEASING
The most important thing you are going to do when you start flirting is going to be tease them. You need to act like a challenge...play hard to get and bust on her every chance you get. They key to teasing is to not over do it. You need to send mixed signals when you tease. A good example would be "I love your hair...it looks so plastic...like a barbie. I don't like barbies, but I like you...sort of...well, almost." Teasing is supposed to be fun and friendly, so careful not to overdo it. You have to send mixed signals at first otherwise it won't be accepted. And when you feel like you have been rejected, pull away, make a face, and state a tease. It is very disarming. For instance, if you say, "Your hair smells amazing." She pulls away, gives you a face, then you could jump back and tease, "It's so strong...my nasal cavity HURTS!" Teasing is pretty powerful, so you want to use it only until she likes you and/or stops playing hard to get.

PREENING
Girls and guys both do this. Preening is taking a step to appear more attractive in front of the person you are attracting. This means that girls flip their hair back behind their ears, and guys may take a breath mint or fix their belt, etc.

WAVING
She catches you looking at her, so make eye contact, smile, and give a little flirty wave. It really works. I did this once, and the girl asked me how I was doing. Just like that - I got a conversation started from across the room!

WINKING
This is a flirting technique that I usually forget about, but it is very powerful. A wink and a smile will almost always get her attention. After that, pick up the conversation or flirt a little more or both. ;)

EMPHASIZING THE LIPS
Putting attention on the lips is a great way of showing you want to use them - if you catch my drift. It is usually quite subtle: biting the lower lip, applying lipstick, or licking the lips. Usually, guys won't play with their lips too often, it's funny when they do. Just find some girls, stare at them, and smile and while licking your lips. Watch the girls' faces. I've done that a few times, just for kicks. Another thing you can do at a distance is to turn your head slightly, gently pull down your lower lip with your index finger (or dantily put your nail in your teeth), and stare innocently. I saw a hottie do that to me once...either that or I looked funny and she had a hang nail.

BREAKING INTO SONG
"All by myself...don't want to be all by myself..." "I don't mind you hangin' out, wastin' all my time..." "'L' is for the way you look at me..." Breaking into song is a great way to start or end a great time. It will grab her attention and leave a lasting impression. You can quote me on that.

GUNS AND ROSES
Welcome to the jungle, sweet child of mine. Beware of November rain. Paradise city is just beyond heaven's door.
What I mean by "guns and roses" is wink and a "pow" with an air kiss. Great at distances. Just shoot your roses at those cuties to get them to blossom.

DISTANCE
Social distance is 4ft away. Personal, 2 1/2ft away, and intimate, 1 1/2ft away. If she likes your smile and eye contact, invade the social distance, and if she talks with you, advance into the personal distance, and if she flirts or shows signs of interest, you can enter into the intimate area. It's alright to touch her a little when given the oppertunity (IE: lengthened hand shake, earing lift, hair appreciation, etc.), but only if she is up to it. If you come off as a horny man or clingy wuss, she will run away.

SUSPENSE
"There are 3 things that I look for in a girl before I step up to bat."
"The guys and I all agreed on this one thing that we find attractive in women."
"If I knew the best pick-up line in the world, do you think I'd use it on you?"
"Haha, wouldn't you like to know?" "There is something I find interesting about you."
"You will never guess what I just heard." "I'll tell ya later."
These phrases are killer curiousity piquers. After saying one or two of them, don't conclude. Keep her guessing. It may seem mean, but she will be having fun, if not now, then eventually. A good technique is to tell half a story or trick, say you have to leave and that you'll finish it up on the phone. Then, get her phone number.

KNOW WHEN TO STOP AND HOW TO LEAVE
Stop at a high point. Leave her wanting more. If you leave after the fun stops, you will feel defeated. So, when it is going good, say, "I'm going to go over there to talk with my friends." or "I gotta go kill the sandman." If you are more of the shy type, wait until you need to leave, go up to her and compliment her (maybe ask for her phone number) and then say you have to go, but wish you could stay, and then make your grand exit. I'd have to say that the last impression is just as important as the first, so always say or do something bold out the door. Sing the song you have stuck in your head, dance to it, make a smartass comment, make fun of something, jump up and drum on the door frame, or say, "Bye sweet stuff." and run off.

COMPLIMENTS
A lot of guys tend to overdo or mess up on this. In order to compliment a woman the right way, you need to know a few things.
1. Don't suck up (Nice outfit - truely amazing - such style on such a beautiful woman, and where did you get those...).
2. Don't compliment more than once or twice in a conversation.
3. Don't give a dirty or a shallow compliment (I like your boobs).
4. Don't choke up.
Timing is everything. Random compliments are okay, I mean you might not be able to help it sometimes, especially if you are loud and have a short attention span like I have sometimes. The best time to compliment, or mearly express your interest verbally, is right after she says something to try to qualify herself to you. So, when you can tell that she is looking for a positive response, make her feel worthy of you. Then to keep flirting going, pull back your compliments a bit so she ahs to further qualify herself to keep you interested...although you are, but you are just trying to make things more fun, right? EX: Girl: "I speak French." Guy: "That's so cool. I love France; I wanna go to France right now." Get up. "You don't mind if I go to France right now, do you?"
To protect yourself from sucking up or to stretch the limits of complimenting, combine a compliment with a tease. "Beautiful smile you have...except for that dimple right there. Turn your head. Ok that's better. You look like a cover girl now." Some girls need more teasing than others. "I like the skirt. Was it made from a curtain?" Shy girls don't need to be teased that much. "Those sandles! And those hot pants! You got style, girl!"
Girls that get hit on a lot have heard just about every cheesy compliment there is. In this case, combine a compliment with a command. "I really like how you don't have a big attitude like a lot of other girls here do." You can use this style of compliment to get a girl to open up too. "I love how you have an open mind and can just be fun and free. It makes everyone else's time here more enjoyable."

LISTENING
Girls love it when a guys that are interested in them can really listen to the girls just babble on. Go to the page with further advice on how to listen better. Listening is a very effective. Sometimes you will hear a girl say that she is boring you, but reassure her that you think that she has an interesting life or something. Tell her you hate being talked at, but love being talked to, so continue.

NAME GAME
Early on in the conversation, get her name. Start using it a lot. She will notice, and will remember that. Also this is good because you can come up with funny nicknames for her like Belly instead of Kelly. Dabby instead of Gabby. Dizzy Lizzy for Elizabeth. After she has taken to you a bit more, say the funny name to her like a smooth romantic, and although it is silly, she will think you are a darling.

EYE CONTACT
Flirts use their eyes. If you are not making eye contact at all, you are not going to invite any girl to hit on you. For instance, bat your eye lashes at a girl that has made some repeated eye contact. Why not? Smile and make faces if you catch a girl staring in your direction. Put on that "bad boy" look where you make a concerned, squinting look like you know something bad is going to happen and you'll protect her from it. Eye contact is extremely powerful. It induces a chemical into the brain that gives your target the butterflies. Here are some techniques directly from How to Get Anyone to Fall in Love with You by Leil Lowndes.

"INTENSE GAZE
When conversing with your Quarry, exaggerate your eye
contact. Search for his or her optic nerve. Lock eyes
with your Quarry to give the aura of already being in
love."

"BEDROOM EYES
While chatting with your Quarry, gaze at the most
attractive part of his or her face. Your pupils will
automatically expand, giving you those bedroom eyes.
Also, think loving thoughts. Concentrate on how beautiful
your Quarry is, how comfortable you feel with her, how
much fun it would be to take a shower with him."

"A VISUAL VOYAGE
As you and your Quarry are chatting, let your eyes do
some traveling—but only on safe territory at first. Take a
visual voyage all over his or her face, concentrating
mostly on the eyes. If he or she seems to be enjoying
your expedition, take small side trips to the neck,
shoulders, and torso.
Women, you have a more liberal passport to travel in this
territory. Men, be more wary. You're cruising into
dangerous seas and can sink the ship if your eyes travel
too far south and vacation there too long."

"STICKY EYES
Whenever you are talking with your Quarry, let your
eyes stay glued to his or hers a little longer—even during
the silences.
A gaze that stays overtime awakens primal, slightly
disturbing feelings. It induces the same "fight or flight"
chemicals that race through our veins when we feel
infatuation.
When you must look away, do so reluctantly. Drag your
eyes away slowly, as though they had been stuck with
warm taffy."


FLIRT OR JERK?
One girl reviewing my web site informed me that she is turned off when a guy that hits on her goes and flirts with some other girl. Let me clarify what I mean when I say that you should flirt with other girls to build your social value. Be flirtatious, don't try to pick up every single chick one after another in the same night. That is really sleezy, and it makes her feel like a piece of crap. I mean joke around, tease, be bold, smile, talk, listen, and be friendly. You don't have to be sensitive, but you can't be insensitive. Know your target, and don't confuse the obstacles.

ROLE-PLAYING
David DeAngelo pretty much made this flirting technique famous. He has a bunch of cock/funny role playing lines that are included in his ebook. The basic idea is to create a dramatic situation, spontaniously, and in a teasing sort of way in which everyone in the group you are talking with is a character in like some sitcom thing. Starting with you and her, say a little line, and then play off of it. A good example would be, "You know...you are something special. I could marry you...but I'd divorce you a week later and take all your money. Oh don't worry, I'll let you keep the cat." You could be mother and daughter or girlfriend and boyfriend or whatever you feel like. If she reminds you of someone, just play off it. Then get the whole group involved in your sitcom. My friend actually role-played a blind date fest. He called the girls, "1, 2, 3, and 4." and handed them out to the guy friends to take on instant dates. The girls loved it...and we still refer to them by number...

INSIDE JOKES
When flirting, you are trying to build a fun emotional connection. Inside jokes are great landmarks. Any chance you get, comment on something interesting, blow it out of proportion...and make it into an inside joke. For instance, you did a personality test with a girl, and it turned out totally weird...the horse that was supposed to represent her lover was black and leaning on the cube that is supposed to represent her ego...so that means you can joke that she wants a needy black man. Make fun of it! Keep it going! Inside jokes often have cue words. You can say one phrase and make some girl giggle - it is amazing power. "Hey, hey...that black guy over there wants you...oh! Made you look!" Another good way to start an inside joke is to do a "Gotchya!" game - you know those things you learned in second grade that everyone had to show each other and laugh at each other? Yeah, those. Anything silly she does, anything silly that happens, just blow it out of proportion. For example, let's say she is silly and actually falls for this one, "Spell eye cup." After she does, make fun of her, "You fell for it! That is so gross! You know what that means?" tease her for being a urinomaniac - the new cue word.

TESTING...
There is no sure fire way of knowing if a girl is into you unless you use the flirt test. What is that you may say? You basically flirt with interest. That's it. If she doesn't like it, disarm with a tease. If she flirts back, you are golden. Raise the bar, and see if she follows. Nothing to it.

FUTURE PROJECTION
When you start getting deeper and the girl starts showing more interest to you, you can keep up the fun going with future projection. All you have to do is make up an exciting pretend future in your head of the two of you living out this amazing dream together. Then you get her input on it, and start fitting together a perfect future. The trick is to already have an idea in your mind with a few things YOU KNOW she won't like. For example, you know she is lazy, so in your original vision, she is doing all your chores, "You know, we would have such an amazing time together...getting married...having a hardcore band do the wedding march...the honey moon to mars..then we'll have a mansion on the hill and I can lay around all day, and you can make me breakfast and supper, watch after the 40 kids, scrub the floors, paint the deck, spank the children..." Keep getting more and more absurd until she cuts you off. Then you can fix the vision together. I have role-played off and on for hours on hours. It is the most bonding of the flirting methods on here.

Overall, girls flirt in a more subtle way, and guys don't. Guys crack jokes, and girls bat their eye lashes. As long as you keep it fun, and keep her smiling and interested, you should have a good chance that she will take your next move.

Now that you know the basics in flirting, you can test them out, but be sure not to make mistakes that could cost you the beginning of a relationship.
