Learn To Flirt Like A Pro
Flirting 101: What works, which celebs do it well and when does it go too far?
Looking back on your flirting hall of fame, what stands out as your best flirtation?
I remember I was flirting with this guy who was selling produce off the back of his truck. I would see him a couple times a week. He was always at just the same place. We definitely made eye contact. Then one day he was wiggling his finger, beckoning me. He was holding the most perfect strawberry in his hand. I just came up, and he thought I was going to take it with my fingers. I didn't. I ate it out of his hand. Well, we went out for about eight months.
Oh my. What's the latest innovation in flirting?
Typing flirtation is the newest thing that is happening. It takes away that element of who's attractive and who's not attractive. You can't see.
Are there any IM moves you'd like to pass on?
I don't really like to rely on those little smileys. I like to sign off or go away before it gets too hot and heavy. I like to leave it hanging.
And what did your husband think about you flirting with strangers to research the book?
Well, my husband is a major flirt himself. That's how I met him. He and I had a big flirt going.
Has flirting ever complicated your marriage?
Sometimes, but I also think that it enriches it. I think married couples should flirt with each other for starters. Especially when you have children, you have to work harder to remember what you saw in each other. That can mean playing a game—driving in separate cars and meeting somewhere and pretending like you don't know each other. But also I like watching my husband flirt with other women because I know it makes him feel sexy.
What about for couples who aren't married? Should they be allowed to flirt with other people?
Usually when women get into a serious relationship, two things happen to their flirt-ability quotient. They either drop flirting because they feel it would be wrong to flirt or they feel really relaxed and really liberated because they have the safety of the relationship. Now they can really flirt with impunity.

For a while, I thought that I couldn't flirt. How wrong I was! There is a flirting type out there for everyone- I just hadn't found mine yet. I'm more of a sarcastic/comedy flirt girl. And now, I've learned how to adapt my flirting to the guy a bit. ;) One step closer to being a pro!!!
I like flirting. And the "dont promise what you cant deliver" is soo true. Best Way I learned to flirt...Working at Hooters as a Server. When your paycheck relies on flirting with your tables you pick up the trade. You have to learn how to judge people by watching the way they act at first and the things they say. I think there's a diferent way to flirt with different types of people. Even if its another girl, not in a "lesbian im hitting on you" kind of way but a way that just makes them feel good. we were taught that most women hate Hooters girls so you have to learn how to flirt them up just as well as a guy because sometimes they're the one tipping you. It's harmless and who doesnt like to be flirted with. Working there was really good training for social skills but not for all people just like any type of learning different people take different things from what they're being taught. Personally for me it was great!
Thats ok, but I like this page:

Absolutely agree about confidence and flirting. In addition being from the South, flirting is definitely an art we belles have.
As far as this "Typing flirtation is the newest thing that is happening. It takes away that element of who
I agree 100%! I think confidence plays a big role in your ability to flirt, and you're genetically pre-disposed. I'm a gifted flirt, but my sister is not so much, and I learned many more tricks when I moved south for 15 years. Maturity has also helped, I've come into my own!
