Flirt Away

Flirting good for your health you wonder? Yes it is.

Psychologist and relationship counsellor Dr. Tushar Guha says, "Remember flirting cannot be generalised. Traditional and conservative people will never consider flirting. Having said that, there are quite a lot of open-minded, modern men and women who do resort to flirting."

You need to know what kind of flirting you want to resort to and what the purpose of your flirting is. After all, you don't want it to end at the end of the night, do you?

When you are flirting for fun you need to send out the right signals and let the other person know through your actions that you are just flirting for fun.

For example, you are at a fast-food joint and manage to make eye contact with a guy. You just make eye contact all through your respective meals and leave it at that. You leave once you are done taking it no further. This is a form of very subtle light-hearted flirting. This is flirting for fun.

Trisha Sharma, 22, post-graduate student and Rohit Verma, 26, businessman got together through their eyes. "It all began in a popular coffee-shop. Rohit was with a group of his pals and I was mulling over my book. I heard their group make such a racket and looked up only to catch his gaze," says Trisha.

They looked at each other several times and about seven gazes and a smile later Rohit gathered up the courage to approach Trisha.

They are together ever since….it has been three years since then.

If a coffee shop does not work for you; here are a few places where you can practice some of your flirting skills.

It Is Party Time

Parties are a terrific place to flirt with someone you fancy. This is because flirting is almost acceptable at parties. Apart from that, here you are spoilt for choice.

On a serious note though parties are where you will meet more people and be able to talk to men more easily and for a longer time than normal. The social atmosphere will allow for some flirting.

Whether it is light-hearted or serious depends completely on how much you like the man and how far you want to take it.

The Watering Holes Help

Yes, a bar or pub is another place where you can flirt… with ease at that. In fact, if you go to a bar alone or with a few of just your gal pals, a man will probably send you a complimentary drink.

That is in case you do not send him a drink first.
