Tips on Flirting

October 29, 2010 By 1 Comment

Tips on Flirting - A longing glance across the room, eyes meet briefly and look away. An interest is born, a fire is flamed. He begins to walk over to her but stops suddenly and instead of taking a chance, chickens out. This is a typical scene for boys and girls who want to break the ice and get to know each other but don’t know how to do it. Here are five tips to help you navigate the flirting zone.

1. Look your best.

First impressions are lasting impressions so you want to make sure that you look good. Some girls like guys who have a few muscles and a tan and some are into the intellectual type with glasses and shaggy hair. The same applies to guys as some may like girls who wear lots of makeup and some may like a more natural look. Everyone is attracted to different things so the important thing is to look presentable and have confidence in yourself.

2. Be yourself.

What impresses one person might not impress another so the important thing to do is be yourself. If you have a unique talent or skill, show it. This can be a great icebreaker because people love to find out about new things. If something sets you apart from the crowd, it can be an impressive tool to use to meet new people and start up conversations. Be mindful and not go overboard. No one likes someone who is overconfident and boastful. If you concentrate too much on yourself, you won’t get to know much about the other person.

3. Be friendly and talkative.

Take the time to learn his or her name and say “hi” when you see him. Smile and act pleasant. Tell funny jokes or stories. She won’t want to talk to you if you walk around with a big frown on your face all day. Try to be flirty as you don’t want to be stuck in the friend zone. Take a chance and strike up a conversation. It can always start out as something you share in common, a class or maybe an upcoming school event.

4. Get your actual flirt on.

When you spy that person you like, make eye contact and smile. Try to be as relaxed as possible and don’t tense up. The more you talk to the opposite sex, the more relaxed you will be. Try to think of this person like any other. If you don’t build him or her up in your mind and don’t have expectations on how the encounter is supposed to be, things will go more smoothly. Live for the moment and just enjoy the time you have interacting with that person. Be careful that you don’t say or do something that you might regret later. For example, “Wow, that teacher Mr. Smith is a real jerk.” To which her reply might be “Hey, he’s my uncle.” It is best to keep the conversation a bit neutral until you can feel him or her out.

5. Take the plunge.

The final step in the flirting game is to take the chance and ask that person out. Invite him or her to do something with you. Do something in which you both share an interest in a place where you will feel comfortable. Make it lunch or invite her to spend time with you and a small group of friends. This will give you a chance to get to know each other a little better before you tackle a more serious date.

Teen Flirting Tips

November 18, 2008 By 4 Comments

The majority of people who ever lived around other people have, at one time or another, been attracted to someone of the opposite sex. This often begins to happen sometime during the teen years. It can be extremely difficult to determine whether the person in whom you are interested is also interested in you.  The fact that this attraction is occurring at one of the most vulnerable, confusing times in a person’s life does not help matters in the least.  Teens frequently spend hours trying to decide whether the person they are attracted to feels the same way toward them.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could just walk up to that person and say, 'Are you interested in me?' Unfortunately, though, consider for a moment just how humiliating such an experience could potentially be. For this reason, many books have been published on dating tips for teens that try to provide the reader with definite clues about whether someone is showing signs of flirting with them. In this article, we’ll explore a few of the signs that may lead a girl or a guy to think that someone is flirting with her or him.

For the ladies who are reading, one of the biggest signs that a guy is seriously interested is that, whenever you are present, he starts showing off or boasting about his physical prowess. Even though this may sound like caveman language, this is a guy’s most frequent - and blatant way of demonstrating interest. Worse, and possibly more annoying, he may show off to everyone else around you and act as though he is totally ignoring you, at least initially. From time to time, he may glance your way or look to see whether you are noticing or watching him.

If you give no sign of noticing him or paying attention to him, he will do one of two things. Either he will ignore you completely, deciding that you are not worth the trouble, or he will become even more obvious about strutting his stuff. So how will this guy decide that you are interested in him? Trying a few of these teen flirting tips will help make it evident.

Guys, if the lady is ignoring you totally, now is probably the time to back out gracefully. She isn’t interested. If, however, she keeps glancing over at you, just catching your eye, then looks away, there is a pretty good chance that she is interested. If you catch her eye and hold it for a moment, she may, if she is interested and somewhat confident in herself, lick her lips or play with her hair or smile at you. This is a pretty good indicator that, if you go over and talk to her, she will probably welcome your attention.

If neither one of you have yet spoken, how will you know for sure that you are interested in one another? Consider a few more of these teen flirting tips. Above all, remain cool and have some fun with this. Consider it a chance to have a friendly encounter getting to know another person; don’t focus on this encounter as if the rest of your mutual lives will depend on whether or not you say and do all the right things. Both guys and girls should try to stay relaxed and enjoy the encounter, rather than become tense and fearful.

Men may joke a lot about women taking excessive time to get ready for dates or other events, but, let’s face it, for men, attraction often begins with visual cues. So, even though you may take a lot of teasing for it, one of the best teen flirting tips you can learn is to dress for the occasion. On the contrary, women are more dependent on mood and situational cues for romantic attraction, so guys, don’t be afraid to show that you are interested and maybe even a little sensitive.

All of these teen flirting tips are useful, but unless someone begins a conversation, things can go nowhere quickly. Both girls and guys should actively listen to the conversation and express interest in one another’s responses. Remember, however, that communication is much more than merely verbal; the largest majority of communication occurs with nonverbal cues such as body movements, or body language, and gestures, looks, and touch.

Both guys and girls who are interested in meeting someone new and potentially fun should try some of these teen flirting tips. Perhaps the person will be the man or woman of your dreams; more likely they are going to be potential friends or acquaintances. Don’t consider every encounter the one destined to provide your soul mate. On the other hand, if you don’t have encounters with new people, you aren’t very likely to meet your soul mate.
