5 Do’s in Flirting:
1. Smile. Nothing let’s a person know you’re picking up what they’re putting down better than a smile.
2. Make eye contact. Making and maintaining eye contact shows a person you’re focused, confident and interested in what the person is saying and doing.
3. Flatter. There’s no clearer indication that you have a romantic interest in someone then by complimenting them.
4. Take charge. Take the conversation where you want it to go. If you expect him to call, give him your number. But if you want to call him, demand his.
5. Act gracefully. If he’s unavailable or uninterested maintain your poise and just pretend you never started flirting in the first place.

5 Don’t in Flirting:
1. Don’t make it obvious and flirt nonchalantly. Subtle indications you’re attracted to someone are the most effective ways to let them know.
2. Don’t stare. It’s important to let the person know you’re interested but it’s important not to make them uncomfortable.
3. Don’t overdo it. A simple compliment will advance your efforts much farther than a fabricated pickup line.
4. Don’t flirt with others simultaneously. It will confuse a man and bewilder a man if you’re flirting with him and others at the same time. Keep your eye on the prize.
5. Don’t feign your interest. For men flirting is often realized in hindsight. If you flirt and feign he’ll feel you were just being nice in the first place.
