Find the middle ground between overt flirting and
being too coy.
Sometimes us guys have a hard time picking up on
the fact that you're flirting . Sure , we all know that
business about you touching your hair when we're
talking, and you leaning forward and touching a
chest (his or yours) when you giggle, but those
"sure-fire signs" can be interpreted as wrestling
with a bad hair day or a case of laughter-induced
vertigo, respectively. On the other hand, playing
Britney '07 while getting out of your car may be a
touch overkill (as well as supremely embarrassing
if he's not down with your lady business). The best
play is the middle ground. Here are nine low-risk
pickup tricks with oodles of upside:
1. Juice up the physical contact. A hand to booty
move is a little tacky; instead, go for an extra long
hug, a kiss hello or goodbye, or an opportunity for a
lap-sit. Breaking the force field is a great start and
if you've rubbed your feet on some fuzzy carpet
first and there's a literal shock when you touch
him, well, bully for you. Flirting Tips From A Female
Pickup Artist
2. Buy that guy a drink, a chicken Caesar wrap or
whathaveyou. Irrespective of what the last several
decades have done in terms of earning parity and
gender role flipfloppery, we always recall when a
lady buys us a brewski.
3. Compliment his appearance. If you can throw in
a reasonable and flattering celebrity comparison, so
much the better. 7 Phrases Men Love To Hear
4. Groom him. If his collar is askance or he has a
mess of unintentional fly-aways or he's rocking a
frat tuck (a maneuver in which only the front of a
man's shirt is tucked in, oftentimes exposing an
interesting belt buckle or emphasizing the crotch
region) in a clearly no frat tuck milieu, hook him up.
It's not selfish to increase his sexy. Also, this
clearly juices up the physical contact.
5. Establish an inside joke . It doesn't have to be a
real inside joke; it can be flashing Blue Steel or
some other Wes Anderson silliness. A little bit of us-
against-them draws people closer (please do not
use any of these tips for demagoguery).
6. Ask him about things in his wheelhouse.
Everyone feels good about slamming home
answers in his areas of expertise; throwing in a bit
of fawning over the depth and breadth of his
knowledge is pretty slick, too (maybe even with a
lean forward, hand-to-the-chest maneuver).
7. Take plenty of photographs featuring the both of
you. This may be your instinct. Go with it and post
those photos where applicable. Have someone else
hold the camera and do the hand-over-the-iPhone-
close-together pic.
8. Try a little dancing. Sure, grinding on the dance
floor may not be your style, but you don't have to
dagger (vertical, public frottage) to trigger a "hey,
this is sort of like sex " light bulb. Dancing Can
Improve Your Relationship
9. Talk closely and, possibly, privately. A little bit of
loud music is a good reason to sit very close and
chat. Boisterous goings-on are a great excuse to
take a step into an adjoining room... alone. 4 Tricks
To Instantly Connect With Anyone
If all else fails (you're probably dealing with a fellow
who is obtuse, uninterested or both), ramp up the
physical contact. Do not attempt to knot a cherry
stem in your mouth. And only write an explicit note
on a cocktail napkin if you're prepared for his
friends and the internet to see it.
