Flirting is a breeze once you’ve got a few basics down. It can seem hard at first, but you’ll do fine as long as you’re not over-thinking things.

Analyzing whether or not 6 seconds of unbroken eye contact means they want to spend the rest of their lives with you will get you nowhere. So tip number one is act naturally!

The definition of flirting is to behave in a way that shows sexual attraction for someone in a playful, casual non-attached way. Flirting is a big part of a lot of social scenes, it’s important to show people that you are interested in them and that you may or may not want to pursue your encounter further without seeming creepy or heavy.

If you’ve got one on the line and you’re looking to reel them in, there are a few flirt methods you can count on.

First off, eye contact! Eye contact can convey more than words any day of the week. A lack of eye contact almost always means “not interested” while extended, molten stares can mean “take me right now”.

If you’re looking to let someone know you want to spend more time together, make a point of maintaining eye contact long enough to let them notice that you’re lingering on them. To amp your game up, try looking up coyly from under your lashes, batting them a few times and looking away.

If eye contact isn’t conveying the message you want, smile genuinely and often. This shows a potential love interest that you’re interested and happy to be around them.

This technique works best if you use it in combination with your flirty eye contact. Tossing and playing with your hair while doing this is another great way to say “hey, you’re rocking my world!”

If you’re feeling brave and amorous enough, a throaty laugh and some physical contact never hurts!

While conversing, brush your hand across theirs or gently touch their arm for a moment. Keep your body in close proximity and bump into them now and then. Playfully inventing an excuse to touch them is another great way to bring on the heat.

Thankfully to avoid mixed signals there are a few surefire ways to make sure your message gets across.

Tell them you are a palm reader/swami/psychic, and ask to read their palm or their “vibrations.“ If they offer it up, take your time and touch them often as you “read” about their future. Remember to only say good things!

The gift of gab can be tough to navigate when flirting, are they interested, or just being polite? Thankfully to avoid mixed signals there are a few surefire ways to make sure your message gets across.

Keeping your tone sexy and playful while speaking gives them a nonverbal signal that you definitely want to keep talking! Otherwise, asking a lot of questions about them or gently alluding to future interactions together works well too.

For example if you ask “What do you do?” and they say “I’m a rugby player” you can say something like “Rugby? Wow! That’s pretty physical, you must be in great shape! Maybe you can teach me a couple tackles sometime.” This is an exaggerated conversation, but be as forward as you’d like (and think is welcome) when flirting.

When it comes to figuring out whether or not you’re being flirted with, you can use your knowledge of flirting as a reference point! Are they laughing a lot? Making eye contact? Touching you? Is your conversation playful and focused on your interaction?

If yes, chances are you are being flirted with. Although, it doesn’t hurt to flat out ask if you really aren’t sure. Don’t let shyness get in the way of a potential good time!

There are plenty of different ways to flirt and, like with most things, practice makes perfect! Try out a couple techniques and you’ll soon find out what works best for you. In addition to that, you’ll pick up flirtatious signals from other people better too.

Flirting is not for the faint of heart - there are plenty of opportunities for disaster, but that’s all part of the game! Whatever happens, you can laugh it off later, so go get your flirt on and Happy 21st!
