Author, journalist and columnist, Anita Naik, is a real life Carrie Bradshaw. Years of disastrous dating led Anita on a mission: to perfect the ultimate flirting technique. With advice on everything from building your confidence to nabbing the guy of your dreams, Anita's forthcoming book, Flirtology could see you kissing goodbye to your singleton days for good. Result! Step away from the make up, and while we're at it throw down the trowel you're applying it with. Do not laugh like a psychotic hyena to show what fun you're having, or try to grab the limelight by dancing on a barstool! Forget feigning disinterest every time he glances in your direction, smiling at his best mate to make him jealous, or generally walking past him every five seconds so he notices your fabulous new jeans. Take it from me (and years of trying all of the above) it just won't work! The world of subtle flirting just doesn't hack it when it comes to boys. It's not that they're dim (hopefully), shy or playing hard to get it, it's simply that most guys have no idea what the heck you're doing and why you're doing it! It's a sad world sometimes, which is why it pays to know how to flirt, especially if you ever intend to get a date before you're 30 years old. Mind you that's not the only point of flirting. Pulling aside, knowing how to flirt well is about knowing how to show others your hidden charm and appeal. If you do it right, you'll be amazed at the effects on your life (think more friends, better communication skills and heaps of confidence). Unsure of how to begin, or simply just lacking in flirt confidence? Well, here are the top five flirt tips you need to know right this second.
1. Take Flirt Risks and Stand Up When You Fall DownSuccessful flirts are successful because they not only take risks but also are willing to face rejection, then get up and try again. Relive your dating failures over and over and all you're really doing is reliving the rejection. It's also worth remembering you have to be in it to win it (i.e. if you don't try, you'll never date anyone). Plus there's nothing to be gained by waiting for someone else to take all the risks - if he's worth dating then surely he's worth flirting with?
