    1. Lower your expectations. Flirting is fun, but only if you don't take it too seriously. Most of the time, you'll just flirt with someone for a short time and then maybe never talk to them again. If you always go in to flirting expecting to date or even marry the person you're flirting with, you're going to be very disappointed--and you'll probably seem a little desperate. Remember, you're just flirting.

    2. Look approachable. Relax and smile. Use your body language to give signals that you are the fun person that you are, and to show that you're comfortable and confident. There's nothing to be nervous about.

    3. Read body language. Does the person look approachable? Do they appear interested in you? From the moment you see someone with whom you might want to flirt, you should read his or her body language. Once you're actually flirting with the person, body language is often the only way to tell if the person is actually interested in you. Most of us have a natural ability to read body language, but it's easy to misread signals, so be careful and take it slow. If you see one signal that indicates the person is interested in you, watch for other signals that might confirm that.

    4. Make eye contact, but not for more than a moment or two. Do not stare. Just shoot the person a quick gaze, smile with your eyes, and then slowly look away. If you look back and notice the person looking back to meet your eyes, they're likely interested in flirting a bit.

    5. Initiate a conversation with the person you're interested in. If you don't already know them simply make small talk. Perhaps the best way to strike up a conversation is to start with a simple observation which ends with a question: "Nice day, isn't it?" or "This place sure is packed, eh?" are just a couple examples. What you say isn't important. You don't really need an answer to the question; you are simply inviting the person to talk with you. If the person responds pleasantly, continue the conversation. If the person doesn't respond or seems preoccupied or disinterested, he or she probably isn't interested in flirting with you. At the beginning of the conversation, you don't want to talk about anything personal. Talk about the environment around you, the show you just saw, etc., but don't talk much about yourself and don't ask the other person personal questions.

    6. Gradually share information about yourself in a reciprocal manner. If this small talk goes well, proceed to share a little information about yourself--just something small like what you do for a living or how you liked the show you just saw, for example. At some point, of course, you'll want to introduce yourself and, hopefully, get the other person's name. The key to sharing information is that you both gradually open up. Take turns talking, and each time the other person gives you some information about himself or herself, give similar information about yourself, and maybe give slightly more personal information than that person gave. For example, if you're talking to a girl who says she's taking summer classes, you might disclose that you are also taking summer classes, and then proceed to tell her which class you are most excited about. This invites her to disclose more information about herself. In this manner, the intimacy of the conversation increases over time. You don't want to share too much about yourself too quickly, and you shouldn't try to get the other person to do so either.

    7. Give the person your complete attention. Laugh at their jokes, listen to their stories, and don't get distracted by what's going on around you. It's more important to seem interested than to seem interesting, and you don't want to hog the conversation. Being a good listener is far more important to successful flirting than being witty.

    Well since I'm a girl, I twirl my hair and kinda crack some love jokes. Humor is ALWAYS a good way to flirt so things don't get weird. My friend told me I am popular (but I don't believe her) and that boys love me. I really don't think so. So really, cracking jokes and getting close to your bf/gf is a really good way to flirt. My bf and I are the couple who do weird stuff like slow motion stuff. Anything humorous is a really good way to flirt. If you mess things up and do a bad joke, now that's bad. Also a lot of eye contact.

    Hope this helps!

    If you're flirting with a guy (you didn't specify), I can help you. I'm a guy, and I flirt a lot according to my wife and several female friends.

    I'm such a notorious flirt that (again, according to female friends) I can have a girl "all over me" and "ready to jump my bones" just by talking to her. But here's the problem: I don't do it on purpose, in fact I don't even know I'm doing it! All I do is be my regular idiotic self (I'm pretty outgoing and I crack a lot of smartasse jokes), and somehow one or two girls will start flirting with me.

    I also don't recognize it when girls do it (the subtle stuff, not the pickup lines), because I'm a guy. I can recognize the really obvious stuff like the "f**k me eyes" or if a girl moves in really close and starts touching me when she says stuff, but that doesn't happen much at all. As for all the other stuff, it goes right over my head. I was married for several years before I even learned that the hair-flip thing was even a thing, and I still have no idea what it means. I know that girls have this whole secret code made up of gestures and words-within-words, but I don't even see it most of the time. My wife thinks it's hilarious, because our friends will say "did you see the way that girl was throwing herself at you?" and I'll say "ummm... what girl?" and not believe them that a girl who only spoke one word to me all night was trying to seduce me with her hair. I'm a guy, so I just don't get flirting and hints.

    If this little rant tells you anything, it's that there is no right or wrong way to flirt with a guy. Do whatever you can think of, because he won't even see it. We really are that dense, which is why we think you're all crazy when you say "how could you not notice that".

    NOTE: If you set his legs on fire and offer him a bucket of water but only if he asks you out first, he might pick up on that. But only maybe.

    Be witty, be smart, and be you!

    If you use something like wow heaven has lost it's an angel.. that type of thing will have you going nowhere. Instead be yourself and be funny. If you are smart with your flirting and you are you ! YOU WILL BE GREAT ! GOod LUCK! :)

    If you can make her laugh you've got it made. But, don't do anything stupid that makes you look like a jerk or immature. Try humor. Clever humor, slightly sarcastic humor. (not about her but about someone else or something you know she will agree with you).

    Put on a sweater and zip it all the way up. Then go " I'm a present, will you unwrap me?;)" Then when they get that confused look on their face start laughing really hard and walk away.

    I use genuine compliments; never use cheese cliche lines like "did it hurt? when you fell from heaven. Cause you look as beautiful as an angel"
