Maggie in Kansas City is a narcoleptic or at least thinks she is one. She claims she never has any time to flirt with men because she logs over ten hours of sleep a day.

"I just have to have my beauty naps," she told Flirting.com. "Men have to understand…. In fact, I am getting tired right now…"

Hey, Maggie, wake up and we mean it. You are sleeping away your life. Go out and get active and you probably will need less sleep. You can flirt doing a lot of things, but snoring is not one of them. Advice goes equally for guys too that spend all day watching football.

Marianne is a facilities coordinator for Washington D.C. based consulting group. She is very serious about her job and about flirting. She likes a man that gets to the point and does not waste time with “perpetual flirting” as she calls it. After all, who could blame her? She is a busy career professional.

Such an approach is okay, but takes the joy out of flirting. Our advice to Marianne, and others that might identify with her, is to remove strict goal-oriented flirting objectives such as “he has to ask for my number in twenty minutes or else.” Flirting is about exploring possibilities, not deadlines and goals. Great flirting knows no boundaries.

Derry is a division president for a company in Hartford, Conn. He likes the career-minded businesswoman type and oftentimes claims they abound at his company’s corporate headquarters. He flirts with the ladies he is attracted to by making it a point to compliment something about their outfit or appearance every day. He feels his advances are most welcome.

"I love to flatter women and I mean it," he told Flirting.com. "I notice when they look nice and I want them to know it. I think it makes them feel noticed."

Derry does well with his little routine. He illustrates a good point about flirting. Make your flirting game part of your daily routine. Also, let us not underestimate the importance of "meaning what you say and saying what you mean." His flirting works because he believes in what he is saying. So should you, especially if you want your flirting to pay dividends like Derry’s.

Sally from the Valley, Simi Valley, California. that is, likes to flirt with attractive men. The problem is sometimes she does not see herself having any chance with great-looking handsome men and oftentimes settles for somebody she feels is more in her league.

“I guess sometimes I just don’t think I am pretty enough to strike up a conversation with some of the hot guys my friends know,” she told Flirting.com. “Oh, well, I guess I’ll have to settle for beer gut guy.”

No, she does not. She just needs to arm her self-confidence with the fact that most women underestimate their attractiveness, whereas most men commit the opposite transgression. You see her picture don’t’ you? We do not see “beer-belly guy” in her flirting league at all, rather, team captain quarterback on a scholarship suits her much better.

Ken from Boise, Idaho, considers himself a poor flirt. We can see why. Soon as we met him he was stuffing his business card in our mug.

"I want them to know I am serious,: he says. "So, I want them to have my contact information and what better way to do that then by giving someone a card?"

Ken goes wrong in that he kills the fun of the whole idea of flirting. Yes, successfully flirting can be a fast process, but it is a nuanced art at the same time.

Our advice is to tuck the business card into his double breasted suit and leave both at home next time. Relax, take it easy and flirt. You will know you did a good job when she is programming your number into her cell.

Carrie is a mold flow specialist for Husky Injection Molding Systems in Milton, Vermont. She is primarily responsible for polymer flow simulation and serves as a remote resource for clients in Asia and Europe. She is looking to improve her flirting game to meet a man, but her problem is she is not interested in the men in the same profession as she is in.

"I will have to admit," she said to Flirting.com, "most men I meet in my occupation are dweebs…. But, I don't go to bars or anything… I am at a lost to find suitable men to flirt with."

We suggest she find someone interested in a hobby she might enjoy, such as cooking. For example, she could attend a continuing education class on cooking and flirt with the single men that are bound to be present. Perhaps then, her flirting life will sizzle.

"I probably enjoy the social interaction more than anything," she told Flirting.com. "I love people and my job puts me in close contact with a lot of them…. I love to flirt with my customers… I find it puts them in a good mood and this makes for great pictures too."

Tex from Houston fixes mechanical bulls for a living and even has one in his house.

“I like my woman a little on the wild said,” he told Flirting.com. “I don’t like a woman that is passive. I like one who can take the bull by the horns.”

Tex said his first wife was killed when she was thrown from a mechanical bull. Our initial impression is that Tex may want to ease up on plugging quarters into the bull, when his date is bucking back and forth on it. At least he should put it on the low setting.

Like most other things, when it comes to flirting, safety first.

Amanda is a credit collections specialist with UPS. Her friendly disposition might seem out of place for her trade, but it is precisely those qualities that make her such a "phone hot flirt" when she is calling on past due accounts of all things.

"What I do is a paycheck and I don't take it personally that sometimes our clients forgot to pay their courier bills….," she told us. "A lot of times, I will ask them about their business and start talking to them about it…. I have been asked out several times by doing so."

Amanda makes creative use of a job where she has to be on the phone all day. Flirting on the phone is a skill all onto itself. The biggest pitfall is when the real woman in person doesn't match the hot voice from the phone. Amanda has no worries there and you shouldn't get hung up on it either. Attractiveness is more attitude than simply physical beauty. Amanda's got both.

Chelsea, a mortgage loan specialist in Irvine, California, is often so exhausted she naps at her desk. She looks like many overworked professionals today. The times are far and few between when she can flirt.

Our advice to Chelsea is to create time to flirt by associating an unavoidable bodily function such as eating, with flirting. You have to eat and you do need to decompress, at least for a little bit.

So, instead of eating at your desk, go for a quick bite outside of the building. Grab a hot dog from the vendor, sit on a park bench and flirt with anyone else doing likewise. You might even be surprised at the positive effect this will have on the quality of your work.
