Learn To Flirt Like A Pro

Flirting 101: What works; which celebs do it well; when does it go too far?

by Marnie Hanel

Flirt Like A Pro Tango: Did you ever question that you were qualified to write a flirting guide?

Eve: No, not at all. There are a lot of other books that I would feel really nervous about writing, but not the flirting book. I am a flirt. I’ve been a flirt my whole life. You could say I wrote the book just from my own everyday existence.

Tango: When I was reading the book, I felt like you were cataloging all my secrets. I was thinking: Don’t write them down!

Eve: It is the kind of book that might be dangerous if it falls into the enemy’s hands. You can’t give away the whole female love arsenal.

Tango: What tips would you give to someone who is just starting to flirt, or wants to become a better flirt?

Eve: She has to determine what her flirt style is going to be. It should initially gel with her own personality: Is she shy? Is she a comedian? Is she an interrogator type? There’s also a flirt I call the refusal flirt—a lot of guys are very curious about the girl that won’t flirt. If you’re a flirt expert, then you’re versatile in many styles. But if you’ve only got one good thing, then stick with that.

Tango: Is there a key move that works across styles?

Eve: Put your hand on his arm. Touch a guy. If you are making a connection, electricity happens. You also find out really fast if he’s interested in you. You shouldn’t be flirting up the wrong tree; it’s a waste of your energy.

Tango: Anything else?

Eve: If you’re sitting next to someone, at first I like to sit so that I’m giving him the full display. You know: “Look at me.” Then, just when they get really warmed up, I like to turn away. Then it’s up to them to say something or do something that makes me turn to them again. Certain elements of this will seem a little actressy—and there’s nothing wrong with that.

This article could’ve been interesting. It quickly became inane. And a woman who marries rich older men, particularly 4 of them in sequence as they literally die off, is not a flirt. She is euphamistically referred to as a gold digger.
