Do you consider yourself to be outgoing? It’s easy to take an online personality test and determine how comfortable you feel talking to new people. Indeed, some of us are more naturally gifted than others when it comes to socializing. Here we take a closer look at some ways you can learn how to flirt with a guy and feel great at the same time!
Let’s start off with a little exercise. Think back to your last date, did you find it daunting to maintain eye contact and chat easily? How about the last time you interviewed for a job facing a panel of total strangers?
# Maintain an open body postureOn a date, you want a new man to like you. Encourage him to talk to you by conveying openness. Don’t sit too far away. Keep your limbs uncrossed and away from your torso. If you close or cross your arms or legs, these gestures could be perceived as protective. Keep your body pointed towards your date.
# Lean forwardThis type of body language shows you care what the man has to say and that you want to learn more about him. Leaning back could be perceived as disinterest or laziness. When you aren’t sure how to flirt with a guy, take it slow. Use the first date as a chance to do more observing than talking. If you’re nervous, you don’t have to make sudden moves or babble.
# Touch your hairWhen you play with your hair you’re openly flirting with a man. Whilst feeling your hair, keep your gaze focused on the man. In a one-on-one situation, touching your hair often indicates you’re attracted to him. The touch of your hair also helps you to calm your nerves.
Your date may smile in return, touch your hand, and feel encouraged to continue in the conversation. Every accidental contact between you can create a sensual energy. When the attraction is mutual, you both feel shocked by the electricity.
# SmileSmiling shows that you’re feeling positive and encouraged. It’s hard for a man to react negatively when you make him feel at ease. The alternatives are keeping your face devoid of expression, which is boring, and frowning, which reflects anxiety, anger, or unhappiness. If you feel nervous, breathe in first and then slowly exhale.
# Listen and ask questionsWhen people are nervous, they can find it difficult to maintain a conversation. When they feel nervous, they can repeat themselves or say things that feel awkward. It’s okay to laugh, just not at him. If you keep smiling, nodding your head, and asking the occasional question, you could help him overcome his jitters.
