Flirting is usually considered an art by people, especially by women. Too much flirting can be misunderstood by men as a sign of being too easy when they're looking at a woman.
This can usually be a turn off, as most men want challenges, or at least a little mystery when it comes to the women they're dating.
On the other hand, too little flirting can be interpreted as a half-baked effort on the woman's part, and could be misconstrued for mixed signals, indecisiveness, or being finicky on the woman's end.
Here are a couple of flirting tips for women that should set you to the right path:
The most essential of all flirting tips for women is how to do it. Repeated contact is key to flirting. Not too many repeats, though. Three is the magical number in this art.
The first time you do something, the guy will still check if it was really him you were sending signals to. The second time will be the time he will acknowledge the signal, so that's the time he will actually react by smiling or approaching you.
The third time is the time that you can introduce yourself, and give him the go signal to strike a conversation too. A man who reacts the first and second time is probably someone too fresh for your taste. On the other hand, someone who doesn't react at all is someone who's just not that into you.
Move on and avoid moping at all costs.
If you are at the receiving end of a flirtation, and you are not into the guy flirting with you, you should turn him down nicely.
Don't come up with sarcastic dumping lines. Remember that guys usually do not flirt alone. They're usually show off to their male friends.
Embarrassing him in front of other people might lead to your own downfall as a person in the dating scene. Some guy you're interested in might be watching the whole thing, and might dismiss you as a potential date because you acted too rude and self-assured.
Of course, if the man becomes too relentless and initiates physical contact, by all means, you should show him the boss is and introduce his crotch to your knee!
