* Do make eye contact

Let him feel your sincerity by really looking deep into his eyes when you talk to him. When you’re interacting with him, you want him to know that you aren’t being distracted; that you are fully focused on him and that he has your full attention.

* Be as witty and as charming as possible

Show him that you have a sharp wit. Let your charm just pour through. Show him that you are able to keep him entertained; that you’re not just some other girl.

* Always make it a point to listen

Make him feel like you really hear him out; that you really listen to him. Don’t just nod and say yes every once in a while. Really engage with him when he’s talking to you. Make him feel like you’re really interested and that you’re not just riding along.

* Be a little touchy

Guys like it when girls are a little touchy. It’s such an innocent and subtle way to flirt with a guy. There are very few things in the world that are more charming than the warmth of a girl’s soft touch.

* Shower him with compliments

Show him that you are perceptive; that you notice the parts of him that are worth taking note of.

* Don’t be afraid to flirt via text

Why limit your flirtations to the times where you’re together? You can still flirt even when you’re far apart from one another. That’s what technology is for. Don’t be afraid to flirt with him via text. He’s going to like that little extra effort that you put into it. And it’s secretly going to make him feel really good inside.

* Engage him in his interests

Show him that you’re adaptable. Let him know that you’re able to get behind the things that he’s interested in and that he can actually talk to you about these things.

* Don’t overdo it

Don’t go overboard with the flirting. You don’t want to be making yourself TOO available either. It might come off as pathetic, desperate, and overly aggressive. You have to give him space to breathe too.

* Don’t send nudes

Never do that. It’s trashy. And you shouldn’t be so self-deprecating. Respect your body. Respect yourself. And don’t give him that kind of power over you. You never know what he might do with those pictures.

* Don’t play games with him

He’s going to know if you’re just playing games with him. Be mature about it. Show him that you’re taking him seriously; and that you want him to be taking you seriously as well. Show him that you’re well beyond playing childless games.
