Think You Know How To Flirt?

By Tyler Paxon Ph.D.

Are you tired of the cheesy flirting tips you read in the checkout line at the grocery store? Well, here are some tips that come from experience and science.

1. Be playful. Have you ever had a 5 year old girl say to you "OK, now, I'm the princess, and you're the prince. You're going to ride up on your horse, and . . ." It's simple. Girls like to role-play. And not just 5 year old girls. Adult women love it, too. Think of that woman in front of you as a little girl just waiting for a playful man to engage her in some fantasy banter, and you'll double your flirting skill almost instantly. Keep the fantasy PG rated at first and she'll join in more often than you think.

2. Play off things she says or does. This is known as "passive" flirting, or "trigger banter". If you've ever been around a guy who "always" seems to have the right thing to say, you know how attractive women can find this. It's a sign of a quick wit and intelligence. Here's a secret, though. You don't have to just make stuff up on the spot. If you plan carefully you can come up with great "spontaneous-looking" responses to many common situations, and look brilliant when they happen. Example: a woman bends down to tie her shoe in front of you . . . you can say "wow, you're the third woman this week who has tried to propose to me. I'll have to get back to you later with my decision." If you don't like that one, make up your own and pull it out when the circumstance arises.

3. Be arrogant. Now this one needs some explanation. I didn't say "be a jerk". This is a "playful" arrogance. If you bump your head, smile and say "it's a good thing I'm the man of steel." Keep a smile close at hand, and you can get away with a truckload of arrogance. And most women will love it.

4. Stand tall. So much of flirting involves having a strong posture. Imagine a string attached to the top of your head pulling up at all times. Try to align yourself in the direction the string is pulling.

5. Subtly imply that she's being naughty. How early you do this depends on the situation and the woman. With some women in some situations you can use innuendo right away. And with others you have to wait for a more advanced stage in the relationship. But eventually, you want her to take on a "naughty" self image. Example: Bait her by saying something ambiguous. Get her to give you a smile. Then say, "I wasn't saying THAT" (as if she's got a dirty mind).

6. Try a deeper voice. Try not to sound like a cartoon, but try going deeper. Try to have some resonance in your chest when you talk. Think of your voice vibrating through her.

Learn how to flirt well, and you'll be happy. You'll be popular with women. And you'll have interpersonal skills that will transfer to all the other areas of your life as well.
