Flirting is good for you! Scientists have determined people who flirt benefit from a higher white blood count, which boosts your immune system and keeps you healthy.
Let's face it - not all of us are smooth and suave. It's important to be yourself, even if it means being klutzy and not saying or doing the right thing at the right time. If you want to see how it works in the movies, rent Warner Bros.' hit "Must Love Dogs" and watch how John Cusack attempts to woo the beautiful Diane Lane!
Have you noticed when you lean in to talk or rest your elbows on the table, your partner does the same? Duplicating actions is a sure fire way of showing you are in-synch with another person.
When you repeat someone's name, you're subtlety letting her or him know of your willingness to create a closer, more intimate connection.
Both women and men love to receive compliments. Those that sincerely compliment the physical appearance of the opposite sex, are the ones which imply an immediate attraction.
A big part of flirting involves reactions to the partner. When telling a funny story, it may elicit comments encouraging interest, including asking "really?", saying "wow" and simply opening your mouth in amused disbelief.
It can be as obvious as touching your arm or knee while making a point. It can be as faint as having your knees come into contact under the table.
