Whether you're in one, wish you were in one, or are currently avoiding one, relationships are never far off anyone's radar. And whether you're cool and confident, quiet and shy, or quirky and carefree, how you present yourself to others makes a big difference in how they respond back to you.

Flirting is an easy way to let the person of your affection know that you're interested but for many people, flirting definitely doesn't come easily. Sending that "I'm interested" signal means putting yourself out there in a way that can make you feel very vulnerable. If you haven't had your daily dose of confidence today, check out this article for a few tips on successful flirting. Among them:
  • be sincere
  • smile
  • make eye contact (but don't stare!)
  • use positive body language and even gentle touch (if it's welcomed)
  • test your flirting skills on your friends
  • read the other person's body language
  • NO cheesy pick up lines
  • make the other person feel good about themselves
  • don't take rejection personally
  • be kind when you aren't interested
I'd add to the list to eat right and exercise, because taking care of yourself will make you feel great and build your confidence -- a vibe others can't help but see. Flirting isn't just for new encounters either; a little interest can spice things up and add a little heat to even the longest relationship. Good luck and happy flirting!
