We look at ways of how you can show your flirtatious side and have fun whilst dating or finding a potential date. Flirting is one of those acts that helps to bring you closer to someone you find attractive. Moreover, it can help you create a stronger connection and bring that person closer to you. So how do you flirt properly? What are some of the ways you can flirt successfully when you’re out on dates? These are basically hard and fast rules that are easy to apply so here we go. Touching - Touching has long been known as one of the most effective ways to flirt with someone and signal your interest in them. Touching is a subtle way of indicating attraction towards someone and it also helps to create a physical connection with that person. Genuine compliments - A genuine compliment, one that is given out of authenticity rather than approval seeking, is one of the most obvious and proven ways to flirt with someone. The beauty with a genuine compliment is that it immediately shows that person you’re attracted to them.Body language - When we like someone we tend to mirror it with our body language. This is something that tend to happen subconsciously when we’re attracted to another person. However, by being aware of it you can make a concerted effort to mirror your dates body language, and imply that attraction and connection with them. Saying other person’s name - When you say the other person’s name it implies that you want to get their attention and forge a stronger connection with them. However, common sense should be applied with this and you should only be using the other person’s name to emphasise something rather than continuously reeling it off. Flirting is a fun activity and we should all engage in a bit of flirting with members of the opposite sex that we find attractive.
