    I would think it would be so easy for you, being that you're so pretty. :) A coy look, a smile...if that doesn't get a guy's attention, then he must be a zombie!
  • Guys are just all so different!!! BUT okay let me see if this is a good answer. I think one is flirting when
    you act different with that person than you do with any other or at least to the point where they notice :)

    If a guy says "you really look nice today" and does not say that to 5 other women in front of you thats
    flirting directly with you! I think NiS!!!! Lets see what every1 else thinKs!

    Oh, I'm not too great at this either. I can get shy sometimes. But first thing that comes to mind would be extra compliments or perhaps they place extra attention to one more than they do another, or their demeanor changes a bit in your presence, smiling, etc.

    I am horrible too. prime example on Tuesday at the YMCA I was jogging around their indoor track when a cute girl and I make eye contact. She smiles at me, I tripped over myself.

    I don't think I'm a good flirter.. unless I've had some drinks and we know where THAT leads (from my other post haha). I just blush and do some weird eye contact so I wonder if the guy even knows I'm attempting to flirt with them!!

    I can never tell if a guy is flirting with me, even if they're obvious to others..

    I'm so NOT good at this!!

    I'm pretty blatant about it. I have little shame and if she is uninterested I won't walk away with anything less than what I started with.

    I look at them directly and give them my most radiant smile. Then I try to make them laugh, and if they have a sense of humor, I'll tell them they're cute. I figure if they're interested, they'll keep it going, if not, hey, I put myself out there! Then, I figure out how to walk away with my dignity intact :laugh:

    I unfortunately seem to be a an even better flirt with people I am not interested in. ;) It happens naturally. But I tend to go for light physical contact. Like as you are talking to someone touch their arm or shoulder. It is usually a good hint. If you are even bolder you can go for lightly resting your hand on their knee. :)

    Other than physical contact, try lots of eye contact and smiles. This works well too.

    Lots of girls go on a blinking spree when they are flirting. I have 3 friends that do this. :D

    I'm a natural flirt, which is good and bad. Sometimes I end up flirting with guys I don't want to flirt with. But some damage control usually fixes everything.

    I think a smile while locking eyes goes a long way. Also if a guy says something funny, laugh, don't try to be all serious and collected. Sometimes they make jokes so you can laugh. Correct that, most times. I'll also tough his arm or shoulder when I'm talking to him and try not to look away. That way he knows I'm interested in him. Depending on the situation, if he mentions something he likes and I know nothing about I'll ask about it. It boosts their ego and confidence, while giving you some brownie points.

    It's worked for me most times I try and go after a guy.

    BTW, if you can't tell, I love flirting!

    I am a natural flirt. I do it and don't realize I am doing it. It's kind of a curse

    Haha, I don't know if this will help at all: I don't know how to flirt either, but apparently I'm *great* at it. So great, in fact, that I've been told I flirt with everyone I meet! I used to work at a call center and my coworkers told me I was flirting with all the callers. The only problem is this means I flirt with people who I don't mean to be flirting with, and then when I *do* meet someone I like I tend to get nervous and awkward, so compared to how I acted with everyone else it seems like I'm snubbing them! I'm told I'm just sort of playful, like I'll tease a little and make jokes, but always smiling (you can hear a smile over the phone, so it was still true at the call center). I guess that's what flirting is...

    How you learn to flirt, practice by flirting with your self. If you can make yourself happy then it's probably something that will make others happy as well.
    I personally think everyone should flirt all the time, it makes people's day sometimes and spreads so much joy and confidence. I love flirting :love: oh so much!!!

    That is how I know I like someone! When my stomach gets all rollercoaster-y and I can't talk like normal.

    I am not even aware that I am when I do it. If I am interested in a person I joke around with them a lot and give them my attention...but I am typically an outgoing person so that is my personality in general. That being said, it is noticeable enough that my friends will give me the "you were sooooo flirting with them" later on....so maybe I suck at life LOL

    This question reminds me of a time back in the day when I tried to teach a friend of mine how to flirt.
    I don't really think I'm an expert by any means, but I have been told by numerous people, men and women that I'm a "natural" at it. It must just be my personality.

    Anyways, I usually just do this.
    1. Get eye contact....no creepily, just a glance.
    2. Look away.
    3. Look back up....smile for no longer than 3 seconds.
    4. Look down at your lap while still smiling.

    I call it the 1.2.3. look away.
    Lame, I know...but it works.

    Anyways, back to the story...My friend wanted me to teach her how to flirt and that was where we started. I was "demonstrating" and then told her to do it...with a different guy....well, we so got busted and the guy ended up hitting on me instead of her....I felt terrible.

    Ok, so back to your main questions, just smile and be confident. Eye contact is always a plus...unless it ends up being over the top, then it's just creepy. And if you do end up in a convo with a flirt worthy person, a little touching (shoulder, wrist, etc) never hurts either.

    Same, but for some reason I tend to be colder to someone I like. I'll give them more attention, but I don't flirt with them like I do with others, probably because I get nervous. Once I warm up, or they start flirting with me, I flirt relentlessly with them. It's quite odd. I guess it's good that at least I realize it now :smile:

    Well it has to feel comfortable for you. When you are comfortable your confidence comes out. I also do the smile and look away while still smiling thing that someone mentioned above.

    I flip the hair a lot. Smile and hold eye contact. Bottom lip biting.
    Im also not even remotely shy so I tend to come right out and say it when I think a guy is attractive.
    On the other side of the coin I am pretty vain so I only occasionally make the first move.
    If I am flirting I usually know they are into me. (hah no pun intended)
