How to Flirt: 5 Simple Tips

No matter what your approach is to flirting, whether it be really aggressive or laid-back, you have to gauge every situation on an individual basis because no two people are the same. Something that may have worked lovely last week, this week may come across as creepy and stalkerish. So, how do you know if you are doing it right? Well, there is a fine line, but in this article, we will give you 5 easy tips for flirting that are fairly fail-safe.

Flirting Tip 1: This is one that everybody should’ve perfected by now, and that is simply flirting with your eyes. This is always the first point of contact. But there is an art to eye-flirting. Mainly, you can go for slightly longer than normal gazes, but avoid starring, it can come across the wrong way. Also, looking away from a subtle stare works great. Remember to look back a lot too. This won’t be weird while long stares could be.

Flirting Tip 2: For sure, one of your best tools is your smile. If you get good eye-contact, then give them a nice, big smile. This should draw a big smile back, which is the ideal moment to start conversation. If you do get the smile back, then it is as simple as just walking over and saying, “Hello.” And this will only give you a chance to show off that smile some more.

Flirting Tip 3: The lean in is top notch flirting. The secret here is always to make it subtle and unassuming. You do it to reach over and grab something while excusing yourself, for example. But the effect is there. Either they will be cool with the idea of you leaning in, which is a great indicator for the first kiss, or they will back-off awkwardly, which just means that you got to slow down the game for a bit.

Flirting Tip 4: Touching is highly successful and totally cool when it comes to flirting. Again here, it is all about being subtle. You can touch their shoulder as you walk away to let them know you are going to use the bathroom, or you could touch their arm to point something out, but either way, it’s a slightly longer than normal, but not too long of a touch. Otherwise, it can come across as creepy.

Flirting Tip 5: This one is the holy grail of flirting, but you have to be in a loud place like a club or a bar and have previously been flirting. If the stage is set though, you come in really close to speak into their ear. And when I say real close, I mean touch your lip to their ear “accidentally.” If they are cool with this kind of contact, then the flirting is ready to go to the next level.

Common Dating Mistakes

Many of us, both men and women tend to make many of the same common mistakes; while in the early stages of dating. So to try and give you some assistance, I’ve pointed out the main mistakes and even given you a brief explanation as to why it’s an absolute don’t do. Now remember, this applies to new couples not ones that have already established their relationships.

The main dating disaster No-No is revealing too much information too early, in other words known as TMI=too much information. This is especially true when it comes to negative information. When you are first meeting and getting to know someone, it’s important to put your best foot forward. You want them to get to know all the good things about you first. It should be more about what you do like, rather then what you don’t. If you are constantly bringing up the past and negative things it comes as a big downer and a major turn off. No one wants to be around someone with a ton of baggage, who hates the world.

Another common mistake people make is coming across as too aggressive, conceded and or pushy. It’s good to be confident and independent. However, there seems to be a thin line between confident and cocky. Watch that you aren’t “showing off”, being to self absorbed or too demanding. Also make sure to be yourself and keep it real! Don’t get caught up telling lies and trying to be someone you aren’t. If things do work out for you the truth is bound to come up and it could kill any chance you might have had.

Think about what would turn you off and make sure you don’t end up doing it to them.

Things you shouldn’t talk about when first getting to know someone…

  • Family Issues
  • Health Issues
  • Job Issues
  • Marriage/kids
  • Your Ex– (Ex’s are exactly that ex’s they are apart of your past and should stay there. No one cares about them nor wants to hear about them!)

Don’t does….

  • Come across as cocky or self absorbed – You’ll just look ignorant and no one likes ignorance.
  • Get caught up in lies – Be yourself lies will always be revealed leaving you to look like an ass.
  • Get too serious too fast – It’s not a race. Take things slow and really get to know someone before you let feelings get involved.
  • Be too demanding – It’s too early to be making demands or being pushy. They aren’t your man/woman they owe you nothing!

How to Distinguish Yourself from Other Guys on a Date

How do you know if you’ve been successful on a date with a new girl? It’s pretty simple. If you stay on her mind because you were memorable, of course in a good way, then you did well. So, how do you distinguish yourself from other guys? Well, it isn’t really hard, but you need to be calculated about it. This article will show you 5 easy way to distinguish yourself from other guys on a date.

Distinguishing tip 1: The one thing you can’t do is avoid risky conversations. Let’s face it, everybody like a thrilling interesting conversation. The balance though is you have to stay appropriate. So, instead of asking boring stuff like, “How many brothers do you have?” or stuff that is out of line, like “How did you lose your virginity,” a good question could be if she’s ever broken a guy’s heart, or to tell about her firs kiss. That is sure to spark interesting conversation.

Distinguishing tip 2: Be passionate when expressing yourself. Women love a man that lives passionately. It doesn’t matter what you’re talking about it could be saving kittens or your bad ass motorcycle, all that matters is that you perk up and really get into the conversation passionately. This will definitely put you above all the usual boring conversation.

Distinguishing tip 3: Don’t be afraid to share something personal. Again, here, content doesn’t matter as much as just showing that you can be a guy that can share personal thoughts and feelings. So, whether it is volunteering in Peace Corps or climbing Mount Everest, it doesn’t really matter. And it may even be a chance to speak passionately about something too.

Distinguishing tip 4: Most men will make some bad impression on a date by being late, dressing weird, being rude, cursing, or not picking up the bill. If you play it cool and don’t make any of the above fatal errors, then you will be a guy that stays on her mind for all the right reasons, and not the wrong ones.

Distinguishing tip 5: Finally, do go somewhere unexpected. You can get creative with this one, but at the same time, don’t go overboard. This could be anything from a sunset picnic somewhere really romantic or checking out a cool jazz club. The bottom line is to change it up, so she associates the new good experience with you, and you stay on her mind, instead all those other guys she forgot about that took her to Red Lobster.

Can’t Live With Them, Can’t Live Without Them???

Unless you’ve lived under a rock your whole life, I’m sure you’ve heard the saying ” You Can’t Live With Them, You Can’t Live Without Them”. Whether your a man or woman, I’m sure you’ve heard it and probably even said it a time or two. The question remains however, is it true? Are men or women really impossible to live without?

Well lets think about it this way…

We don’t “need” the opposite sex to survive, once we are born. We can find companionship, friendship, love, even hate from the same sex as our own. Heck we can even marry the same sex in many places around the world these days. However, we do need each other to reproduce and continue human existence. Don’t we? I mean sure there are donor banks for the ladies, but who is going to provide the sperm for them if men are whipped from existence? Men can find egg donors as well, but who is going to provide those eggs and carry those babies for nine months without the existence of women?

No matter how much we try and run from the other, we need each other to continue human existence! Lets be honest; it’s not always the opposite sex we are running from anyways. I know several people that would love to avoid and whip out the existence of their own sex from time to time.

I guess it all boils down to us needing to learn to better live with one another, rather then trying to figure out how to banish one another. We have to learn to be more excepting and forgiving of others and their opinions. Not everyone is going to agree with us 100% of the time. We need to realize that is OK! It’s just not going to happen; not now, not ever. We are all created uniquely different. We look different, think different, talk different, dress different, even walk different. It’s the combination of all our differences that makes human existence so intriguing and compelling after all. So regardless to our differences and complaints, without each other life as we know it simply would not exist.

3 Things He Shouldn’t Know About Your Ex

Everyone has a past and some things should remain there. Honestly is the best policy, but sometimes in relationships telling a little white lie doesn’t hurt anyone. Men can be very jealous and don’t want to hear about their girlfriend’s ex-boyfriends. They can’t imagine the person they love with someone else.

Here are 3 Things He Shouldn’t Know About Your Ex:

1. He left your heartbroken: By stating this you might make your current boyfriend think that you are still heartbroken after your ex. If he thinks that then he is also thinking that you might still have feelings over your ex. If this topic ever comes up all you have to say is “We all get hurt at some point”, that way you don’t seem too concerned about your past.

2. We had planned to: This is a BIG no no. There is no more “We” we it comes to reference to your ex. Even if there was something that you wanted to do with your ex in the past and never got the chance to do so; all you have to say to your current boyfriend “I’ve always wanted to do that.”

3. He was a fighter: If you say this not only are you telling your current boyfriend that your ex was a violent person; you are also letting them think that one day your ex might be coming back to fight for you.

Hopefully these 3 Things He Shouldn’t Know About Your Ex helps you out in your current relationship. Good luck!

5 Tips On How To Be Dumped

Breaking up is hard to do, as the song goes. And with these tips, we are trying to prevent you from making a total ass of yourself. If you get dumped, you must accept it. It is better to move on and let the past be the past.

Tip 1: Don’t make any calls after you get dumped. You may have a pair of shoes at his or her house, but you got to let sleeping dogs lie. Otherwise, you’ll be asking “Why?” on the phone, and this always ends bad.

Tip 2: Do not get stalkerish and show up out of the blue at your ex’s job with a bouquet of flowers. And while in your dumped state of mind it may be a romantic thing to win back your love, this is just creepy.

Tip 3: Don’t hit the bottle or become to good of friends with the “Mr. Tambourine Man” because you have to love yourself first, and that kind of behavior is just bad for your health and destructive.

Tip 4: Take time off. Do not go out the next weekend, meet someone you think you may have a connection with, have casual sex, and decide you are in love again. This is called a rebound and is just as hazardous to your health.

Tip 5: Don’t beat yourself up. Understand that grown up people don’t always need exact reasons to end relationships. And while rationalizing it may help you in your mind, it doesn’t. In the end, the “why” doesn’t matter,
so don’t try and blame yourself through self-torture. It’s not cool or good for you.
