Flirting Guide: How to Flirt Successfully

Flirting isn't rocket science

Who needs a flirting guide anyway? That's what you might think at first. But it's an activity that definitely needs some guidance and also has a few rules. So you shouldn't be completely clueless, because then the failure that follows can be quite frustrating. Is flirting easier with a flirting guide, then? Hardly. But it could go more successfully. And you shouldn't ignore that possibility.

Pick a flirting partner and make contact

Not everyone is open to a flirt. That depends on the circumstances of the situation and the person's frame of mind. But if you've found a partner who feels just as much like a flirt at that moment, then you've already done probably the most important groundwork. The flirting guide gives the tip here to rely on the other person's body language. Crossed arms indicate rejection. The person doesn't want to be approached right now. A smile and an open posture are a green light. Here you can say a first sentence to make contact without any worries.

Cheap pickup lines aren't wanted

You do have to exert your mind a little and can't rely on clichés that couldn't impress anyone even in the 20th century. The flirting guide thinks that making contact should happen naturally, or at least be brought about very discreetly. But you can also help things along a bit. The current situation your flirting partner is in forms the foundation of the topic of conversation.

Less is sometimes more

Keeping the conversation alive once it's started is at least as hard. You shouldn't talk too much about yourself, but rather let your conversation partner talk and set the direction, says the flirting guide. Answer specific questions, always stay polite and don't let the conversation slide to a low level. Your partner's interest should be kept up.

Is the end of the conversation also the end of the contact?
