Flirt Boldly

Need a little refresher course in the art of flirting? FlirtZone coach Peta Heskell can help rev up your sensual wordplay with The Keys to Successful Flirting.

Good flirts are playful, so having a sense of fun and adventure when talking to the other sex is key. Make yourself approachable. Smile. And make the first move, ladies. Over 95 percent of the men interviewed by FlirtZone said they would love women to approach them.

Men, however, should stay away from anything remotely resembling a pick-up line. Women have heard them all and, not surprisingly, they don't work. A simple smile and "Hello" will work much better.

For both men and women, it doesn't hurt to follow your instincts. If the guy or gal in the corner makes your heart skip a beat, take a chance and try to connect. And if someone approaches you that doesn't make your soul zing, turn them down graciously. Mr. or Ms. Right may be watching you from another corner.
