Mel is a freelance entertainment writer in Vienna, Virginia, is a huge fan of the Black-eyed Peas. She loves to get it going on the dance floor. Any dance floor for that matter, she cites as a prime flirting territory.

"I love a man that can move his hips without looking like an idiot," she said. "A man that can dance makes me believe he can do other things well."

She details her flirting technique: "I will simply move close to a man and start moving my booty his way. This usually invites a man for some good grinding on the dance floor."

Her favorite dance she calls the "nasty," where two gyrating bodices rub up and all over each other. The point to remember here is you have to have the tools to carry out some flirting techniques. Looking at Mel, she got the tools for her nasty. Do you?

Jack from Madison, Georgia is a grocery store bagger for a large supermarket. He flirts with the cute girls his age (younger 20s) by making funny comments about the products they are buying. He claims to have very little success flirting. We know exactly why.

Jack needs to understand two things about Feline Americanus: 1) that women shopping are on an animalistic experience, driven by an inward monomania and hence poor opportunities for flirting; There is simply too much going on in their minds; For instance, if she is buying ice cream and cookies, she might be depressed; Or, she may feel sensitive about her weight. 2) Food is a sensitive subject for women and Jack is best advised to keep his “look how many calories are in that” comments to a minimum.

Our advice to Jack is to flirt with the other baggers. Perhaps he could hold up a contraceptive and say he prefers plastic over paper; just a thought, not necessarily a good one.

Denise from Chicago is a fire protection hazard systems designer for F.E. Moran. She spends a good part of her day customizing fire systems for office buildings in the hope they don’t burn down. Lately, this sweet girl claims her flirting pilot light has been blown out. She suspects why:

“I think sometimes people think I am too homespun,” she said, “but that is just how I come off…. I am a wilder than I might first appear. In fact, I love to wear sexy lingerie whenever I can.”

So how does she get someone to light her fire? She would be advised showing off that tattoo on the rise of her lower back every so often? Maybe let the g-string ride up the hip huggers too, at least on business casual day.

Steve is a devout Christian in Dallas and if not for his admiration of the womanly form, he would have become a priest a long time ago. He admits though, that he has difficulty striking up a flirt with a pretty woman. It simply is against his modest nature to make such overtures.

Our advice to Steve is don’t despair. There are equally as many attractive and religious women out there who are interested in the male form as well.

We advised Steve that next time when he is at his church or place of worship to look for a single lady who repeatedly seems to be by herself. Then, one day, take a seat next to her. Do this again and again. Finally, when she takes notice, ask if you and she might pray together.

He took our advice and now they are a match made in heaven.

Jerome is an ex-Pro footballer player who was cut by the Cincinnati Bengals when he knocked their head coach over a table of sports drinks during a drill. He is big and clumsy, but claims he sells his athletic capital for all it is worth on the flirting scene.

“Even though I got cut and pretty much sucked,” he told Flirting.com. “Women were still attracted to the fact I was even a pro athlete if even briefly…. I think it gives them something to brag about to their other girlfriends.”

Jerome is will-founded in his assumptions. Women love bragging about their men and if there is something noteworthy about your past or your current career, then by all means play it up for all it is worth. Just don’t knock her over a table of sports drinks.

Shawna from Marin County, California, is really into music and loves browsing for used CDs at independent records stores and CD traders. She could careless that she can get music for free online.

“I have fun some things the old fashioned way such as looking for old CDs and records,” she said. “I like finding other people that know and appreciate music.”

The best way to flirt with this musical-minded hot gal is to blow the dust off the old vinyl records, find out what’s actually inside all those cracked CD cases and, pick up a Rolling Stones Magazine. Then, go meet Shawna at CD trader and impress her with your knowledge of hard to find gems, such as yourself.

Wang from Olympia, Washington, is a Kung Fu expert and can probably beat up anybody if he so chooses to do so. However, he uses his ability mostly to split boards and do other stunts to impress woman.

“I always finish one of my acrobatic stunts with a smile,” he told Flirting.com. “Women are left breathless.”

Women like a man who is both fit and–though they may not admit it–tough. Providing security hearkens back to the primordial days of flirting when it was the cavemen that had to fend off the occasional saber tooth tiger. So ask yourself men, if the best protection you can offer comes with a French tickler attached, then maybe you should take a class on self-defense too and ward off those tigers.

Cookie is an operations manager in Livonia, Michigan. She is very demure but loves to flirt with men by making exaggerated facial expressions that let them know she is flirtable.

"If I hear a man telling a raunchy joke, I act overly offended," she said, whimsically. "Usually, it is a good intro."

Exaggerated facial expressions are great ways to flirt. Cookie is a master. You can be too by practicing. How? Next time you are getting ready for work, practice your Oh-Mys in the mirror. Strive for playfulness and always end with a smile. Then, take your game to town.

Huey form St. Louis is a medical doctor and struggles when it comes to flirting. He claims he grossly overestimates women’s “protean” signals (a fancy word for when women or men do things, perhaps unconsciously, like play with their hair or sit with their legs opened wide).

“When I reciprocate,” he mused, “the reaction is usually what I classify as ‘shock and awe.’”

Huey’s problem is that he may read into things a little too much.

If she bends over to pick up a paper clip and you are thinking “she likes it doggie style,” then you are making far too much of small signals. Far too often men have the opposite problem, not seeing the small signals. Huey’s problem is much rarer.

If this describes you to, try keeping your reactions reserved for more concrete evidence that a woman wants you to reciprocate. Like if she mails you her panties—you can’t get more positive than that! That would be an extreme example, but you get the point.
