Flirting
The
fine art of flirting
How
many times have you been
in a lift with someone,
stood at the bar bumped
into the guy of your dreams
but you haven`t had the
courage to talk to him?
Well you are not a lone
because it happens to us
all. (Unless you are my
friend Sally of course).
It
was a Sunday afternoon and
I was waiting in a local
bar for Sally to arrive.
We hadn't seen each other
for ages so we decided to
meet for lunch and catch
up on all the latest gossip.
When she walked in I couldn`t
believe what I was seeing,
Sally wearing a low cut
top and the tiniest of skirts
I had ever seen with a pair
of strappy heals on. (Talk
about your Sunday best.)
Looking down at my own tatty
jeans, trainers and sweater
that was 2 sizes to big,
you can pretty much say
I felt a bit underdressed.
I hadn't noticed the way
she walked before but now
I couldn`t help but to look
she was swaying her hips
like they were about to
fly off. And I wasn't the
only person to notice all
the men there turned to
look.
When
the bar man came over to
take our order he couldn`t
keep his eyes off Sally.
When I give him my order
he just said yeah then turned
to stare at Sally again.
Well I couldn`t believe
what happened next. She
began curling her hair around
her fingers looking straight
into his eyes and with a
seducing sultry voice asked
him what was the dish of
the day. I had never seen
a man blush so much in all
of my life and to this day
I still haven`t. He took
our order and rushed away
as quick as his legs could
carry him.
I
sat there half between anger
(at being ignored) and hysteria
at the sight of his beetroot
red face. There I was sitting
with Sally clean cut Sally
whom had never looked at
a man never mind flirted
with one acting like Sharon
Stone in a scene from Fatal
Attraction. What has happened
to you I asked her. She
told me that her becoming
the mistress of flirting
had all started as a bet
between her and the girls
at work. They always teased
her about blushing every
time a certain guy walked
into the office. So they
dared her to seduce him
and if she couldn't that
she would have to kiss the
boss and that would mean
instant sacking or even
worse him taking a fancy
to her (he is fat, 50ish
and bald with smelly breath.)
If she won the bet they
would each give her £20
which meant she would get
£120 all together. She told
me that she was terrified
and that every day he was
due to come into the office
she would phone in sick.
But the girls set her up
and one day when she wasn't
expecting to see him he
walked into the office and
worse still over to her
desk and asked her what
she wanted him for. With
out thinking she pulled
him forward and planted
her lips on his. She then
went on to tell me that
she had never felt such
adrenaline like it before
and that knowing she could
have a man wanting her so
much was just to much for
her not to use and she has
done so ever since. She
still took the girls money
even though they where the
ones that brought her out
of her shell.
I've
got to give it to her she
knows how to flirt and have
seen her in action on many
occasions. As for me I had
to watch and learn.
Here
is some advice for all of
you none flirts out there
or for those of you that
want to be better flirts.
Confidence
We all need it whether
it is to go and get that
higher paid job or get the
man we want and no one got
any where flirting with
out it. Start off slowly.
You have to let people know
that you are approachable.
Talk: Go out of your
way to talk to the person
sitting next to you at the
bus stop, on the bus, in
the lift or even in the
queue at your local super
market (great place for
meeting single guys.) It
doesn`t have to be just
men if you haven`t got much
confidence in talking to
people then start off by
talking to women then gradually
build up to talking to men.
Smile:
Every day make a point of
smiling whether it is to
your grumpy old neighbour
or the office gossip that
spread some rumours about
you last week. It will not
only make you feel happier
but also make those around
you feel happier. Happiness
attracts and people will
want to get to know you.
You may even get a smile
from your grumpy old neighbour.
Go
it alone: When was the last
time you went some where
on your own? Not to work
or the shops but out to
a bar, a party even the
cinema. What was that never
I hear you say? Well that
won`t do at all. Start of
by going somewhere that
is of interest to you like
an art gallery the theatre
it can be any where you
will not only meet people
with the same interest but
you will have the knowledge
to talk to anyone you meet
about the subject. This
also allows you to practice
talking to strangers and
smiling.
