Three Flirting Basics

No matter what you think, to be a great flirt it's not necessary to be devastaatingly attractive, rich, smooth, or good at batting your eyelashes. These assests are just window dressing for the sucessful flirt and pale in comparison to the three flirting basics.

The Three Flirting Basics:

1. Be Smart
2. Be Patient
3. Be Prepared

1. Be Smart

Be smart enough to assess a situation, so you know when flirting is appropriate. Use your logical mind along with your sensual feelings. Being smart means knowing ahead of time what you want to accomplish. Know that one rejection or triumph isn't the end-all of your social life.

2. Be Patient

To the person you are flirting with there is nothing so applealing as some-one who thinks he or she is worth waiting for. If you appear unhurried and give the imression you are not going to be dissuaded from your objective of impressing your target, your target will likely give in to your initial invitations - because being with you seems inevitable.

Who can resist someone who says in so many ways that you are worth his patient efforts?

Patient flirting means maintaining a repeated presence in the life of your flirting partner. You can do this by phone, by sending a birthday card, or by just being around their favourite hangout.

3. Be Prepared

Be on red-alert for flirting. Flirting takes place most successfully when you least expect it. Make being prepared a daily habit. Always be ready to say, "hi", to accept a compliment, to speak to someone new. Be presentable. Forget your troubles and smile.

As Forrest Gump's wise mama said in the movie, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." There will be new surprises and dilemmas, but the more you do of it, the more confidence you will have.
