How To Flirt With Strangers Without Being Creepy

Posted by Abby Crawford on

Do you feel out of your comfort zone when you're trying to flirt with someone? Well, these tips may help you!

1. Smile and make eye contact. I call these two   actions "flirting basics" and both make it easier for men to approach you. As   a single woman, this is something you want to be more conscious of. The more   approachable you are, the more men will take the chance to walk over and say   hello. In addition, when you smile, you automatically look more attractive.   You can't go wrong when you smile brightly at a man who catches your eye.

2. Be friendly. This is the place to turn up   the charm! If you are a naturally bubbly person who interacts easily with people,   why not try it while shopping? Being friendly and warm is like sharing your   own personal brand of sunshine which creates positive interactions with people   that are memorable. The more people you meet, the better your chances for finding   "the one."

3. Look up from what you are doing. To be more   approachable, be aware of your environment. Every once in a while, look up from   whatever you are doing. As a dating coach, I can't tell you how many men have   asked me why women in the grocery store are so unfriendly. My bet is that you   are focused on shopping and leaving the store as quickly as possible. The solution?   Take an extra 5-10 minutes so you look around and connect with people.

4. Break the ice. Be brave and say something!   Most men are flattered when a woman strikes up a conversation. This is another   way to make a man's job of approaching you easier. You can talk about anything   from the store, to the weather, to what's for dinner.

5. Hang out where the browsing is good. To up   your chances of meeting men while shopping, spend time in the sections of the   store where people tend to linger. Try looking at the CDs and DVDs, cell phones   and electronics or magazines and books. Even the produce aisle can work. The   other great thing about browsing is that it's easier to think of something to   say — you can rely on what you are both looking at to start chatting.
