Flirting
Body language
This is the language where you don`t need any words. Women
have been doing it for hundreds of years to attract the
man they want. Becoming fluent in body language will ensure
that you will be skilled in attracting the right man and
sending the get-lost signal to the wrong man.
Eyeing
up the prize
The more eye contact you establish with the target, the
better. Start with some sidelong glances. Then, begin
with direct eye contact. Once he turns to meet your gaze,
immediately lower your eyes and smile to yourself, this
will tell him that you were watching him and are embarrassed
that he caught you - a sure sign of interest. Next, be
bold and try holding his stare, flashing a small, open-lipped
smile.
If there is a man that is giving you the eyes and you
are not interested look away from him and don`t look back
at him again. When in conversation, looking at the ceiling
and all around the room also shows a definite lack of
interest.
First
impressions count
You leave your home ready to
go to a party when you spot your gorgeous neighbour and
he doesn`t give you a second glance. Why? Because you
aren't dressed your best. When you entering a room most
people look to see who has come in. This is when you have
to make an impression. Looking your best will make you
feel your best. So make sure that before you leave your
front door look your best, and you never know you might
just attract the attention of that gorgeous neighbour.
The
hand job (no not what you are thinking)
Even without direct contact,
your hands can send very powerful messages. There are
a number of ways to convey that you want to get to know
someone. Keeping your hands unclenched shows you're open
to him. Using your hands to caress objects, such as the
rim of your glass, locks of your hair, or the sleeve of
your blouse, in a rhythmic (as opposed to fidgety) manner,
can be a sensual act. And for the braver hands, try picking
fluff off his jacket, touching him to punctuate a point,
or using the "accidental touch" when reaching
for the salt.
Hands that are jammed in pockets, busy cleaning glasses,
or balled in tight fists are all bad signs. Fingers tapping,
drumming, pointing, or wagging are also signals to move
on.
Stand
out
Your posture is one of the most
telling signals you transmit. An open posture is evidence
of an open person. Turning your body toward the man you're
conversing with, keeping your feet flat on the floor and
leaning forward are actions that show interest. As well,
slightly tilting your head, crossing and uncrossing your
legs, and thrusting your chest forward give the message
that you are interested.
As for ways to send a man packing, crossing your arms,
holding a drink high in front of you, turning your body
away or resting your feet on their toes will tell a person
you are not interested.
A
few extra tips
Hopefully by now, you have an
attack plan and a clear idea of when it's time to get
down and dirty or when you're best just to wave the white
flag. Here are just a few more tips when trying to perfect
your body language skills:
-
You'll know things are going really well when you
begin "mirroring" one another's body language
and gestures.
-
Don`t tease him by offering more than you plan to
follow through. This can lead to very ugly circumstances
-
Chain smoking, being extremely intoxicated, or having
eyes only for your plate of food will not put you
in the best standing for the body language game.
-
If you try your hand at it, and he's not responding,
abort the mission immediately.…
-
Following him around all night will only serve in
making you look needy and desperate.
And finally, if all else fails, buy yourself a T-shirt
that reads, "Looking for Love."
