Look – but not often

Relationships on Female First

Spot a man you like the look of across a busy room? It is important to make eye contact with him to let him know you’re interested but too much eye-contact for a prolonged period of time can come across as creepy. Catch his eye and quickly glance at him before flicking your eyes to his mouth and then looking away. Don’t get carried away though as otherwise he may feel a bit intimidated by you.

Subtle touching

This is the key to flirting without coming across too forward and can keep him guessing whether you like him or not. A gentle touch of the arm or an “accidental” touch of the leg can get him intrigued and wanting more. Less is definitely more when it comes to flirting and physical contact will get him begging for more.

Smile

A guy will be attracted to a woman if she smiles. Sounds simple, but it works! A smile will make a man go away and feel good about you. He will remember you as a fun, happy woman to be around. 

Show him you’re interested

No, I don’t mean pouncing on him and coming across as over-the-top and desperate. Show him you’re interested by asking him questions about him and take an interest in his life. We all like to talk about ourselves and chances are he will as well. And by asking questions, he’s likely to ask you some too allowing you both to take the first steps in getting to know each other.

Give him compliments

Flattery is the key but don’t go OTT. If he’s cooked you a meal, comment on how good it tastes or drop a subtle hint that you like the shirt he is wearing. Complements will make him feel good about himself but don’t overdo it or you’ll make him squirm in his seat.

Don’t try too hard

Do what comes naturally to you and don’t try too hard to flirt with him and get his attention. If you try too hard you will come across as a man-eater and desperate. Being sexy and confident without being a needy flirt will make a man want to stick around for longer.
