Flirting Mistakes We All Make

Flirting Mistakes We All Make

Can't get a date? Retire your bad flirting technique.

One night, over a shared bottle of wine, she was explaining the finer points of her technique, when a cute guy walked over and poked his head between us. "What are you drinking?" he asked. "What does it look like we're drinking?" I answered snottily. That night was filled with valuable lessons. The main one being, if someone asks you a question—even a dumb one—they're trying to engage you on some level, so don't shoot them down. Here are a few other flirting don'ts I discovered along the way.

Would You Move Your Wedding For A Football Game?

A couple marrying on the same day as the big game make an extreme game-time decision.

How To Seduce Difficult Women

French seduction tips from the director of a new film about helping American men get game.

Certain men—gays and hairstylists among them—have a particularly astute handle on what women want. Richard Temtchine, who is decidedly not the former but who was, for 22 years, the latter, is one of these men—and he's translated this insight into his new film, How To Seduce Difficult Women, opening in New York City on Friday. The Paris-born Temtchine wrote, directed and produced the film, which follows Philippe, a married Frenchman living in New York, as he instructs hapless American men in the art of seduction, while sustaining ample practice himself with various mistresses. Temtchine came up with the idea after running into an acquaintance who struck him as a particularly difficult woman, and realizing he had the tools to make her soften, if not melt.

The 10 Sexiest Games For Lovers (And Others)

Put on some Marvin Gaye, pour a glass of wine, and get your game on.

My husband and I rolled the dice, shuffled the cards and broke all the rules to bring you a roundup of the 10 hottest games for couples and group. Among the dozens of activities we reviewed, we found that the best were usually the ones with the simplest rules and the fewest playing pieces (which aren't very fun to find in your sheets). These romps made it easiest to get down to business, which after all, is the real objective. I've rated the fun and sexiness of each game on a scale of 1 – 5.

Wait. Are You Hitting On Me?

Tom Miller has no idea if you're flirting with him.

Just because a guy doesn't react like you think he should when you're flirting with him, doesn't mean he's not interested. Some guys (and girls) are just totally oblivious to innuendo. If his playdar is non-functioning, just pick up the obviousness of your game.

Beating The Love Game

Beating The Love Game

Love is just a game that never last. We can play by the rules or make up the rules as we go along. Its a game that can't really be won until you can change the rules or redifine what winning actually is.

Recognizing The Sensitive '90s Guy

Just because he has a guitar and is a singer, doesn't make him a sensitive guy.

The guitar has long been an instrument of seduction. But the sensitive 90s guy, with his singer-songwriter and insincerity has really pushed it over the top. His shtick, showing a sensitive side to lower a gal's guard, gives other sensitive guys a bad name. Beware before you buy into an artist, or heaven forbid, a poet.

Obama Ruined My Game

Obama Ruined My Game

Why Barack Obama forgot the bro code but still won everyone over.

Barack Obama is a lot of things. He's a senator, a president-elect, a Harvard grad, a lawyer, and a man willing to admit his mistakes. This story did not make it into the mainstream media, but Barack Obama once screwed up the game of one Nicklaus Lovelace. During a press junket, he called out Lovelace on his babyface and ruined his game. But, because Obama is a big (if skinny) man, he manned up and apologized. Solid work, future Prez.
