Must-know flirting techniques no man can resist

Men appreciate the art of flirting just as much as women do.

Men take flirting just as seriously as women, and they love the subtle dance as much as women do. So, if you don’t quite know how to flirt with a guy, here are few techniques no man can resist. Try them out the next time a good looking man catches your eye.

Go up to him and say hello

If you aren’t learned scholar in the school of flirting, no worries. One universal thing among all men surveyed is how much they love it when a woman takes control and makes the first move. Think: eye contact. Think: being friendly. Think: smiling.

Playfully tease him

No need to impress the tall, dark handsome guy in the corner with your impressive knowledge (save it for the first date); instead, gently poke fun and laugh. Men bond with each other this way, so his feelings won’t get hurt.

Find him interesting

After you’ve said hello and shared a laugh, engage him in a conversation and actually listen to what he says. A good rule is to ask as many questions as you answer. You won’t earn points by trying to trump his IQ (or anyone else’s) with your own, but it also won’t hurt to offer some open-minded insight into the topic he raised.

Compliment his physique

After you’ve poked fun at his girly drink and listened to his take on the oil spill, give him the eye and ask, “What’s your workout regime? You look great.” Feel a bit cliché? Maybe. But while most men don’t spend hours in front of the mirror beating themselves up because they don’t look like David Beckham, when it comes to his body, flattery will get you everywhere.

Use subtle touching

If you haven’t already learned that no man can resist being touched, you should lightly touch his arm, leg or the small of his back. But don’t be too forceful. A simple light touch his arm when you laugh at his joke is all that’s needed to let him know you’re interested, ladies.
