Flirting In The Online Dating World
Flirting is so easy in the online dating world. All you do is choose someone you like the look of and then click the button that says 'flirt' or 'wink' or whatever cheeky phrase the dating site you have joined provides. Your love interest knows your interested and you haven't made yourself look stupid. If they respond with a 'flirt' back, or a message, great. If they don't you just move on.
But when you meet for your first date in real life, flirting can seem a lot more awkward. If only it was as easy as clicking the flirt button. Try these tips to release your inner flirt:
- Mirror their body language – Apparently subtle things like taking a drink when he does will make him more attracted to you. Don't copy everything he does or he will think you are mocking him.
- Twirl your hair – I've heard men find this alluring. Don't do it all night or you will give off an OCD vibe.
- Touch your necklace – By touching your chest area you will draw attention to your breasts and you know men are suckers for breasts. Not such a good idea in my case however, since I lied about my bra size on my dating profile.
- Smile! Oh it is so simple, but a smile makes your face so much more attractive.
- Be Yourself – It's really hard to relax and flirt if you are pretending to be a straight laced lawyer when you are really a wild party girl. Honesty is always the key in online dating, it just took me a while to figure that out.
Whatever you do, don't try to twirl your hair, touch your chest and mirror his body language all at the same time, whilst smiling like a lunatic. Be natural and you will find real life flirting comes as easy as clicking a flirt button on a dating site.
