Haiz, on top of choir troubles and schoolwork stress (again), 2 more words complete my week - girl trouble. Lol. Hope things will smoothen out on their own. I choose to let things slide this time round.

Flirting (enjoy *grin*)

Flirting is a form of human interaction, usually expressing a sexual or romantic interest in the other person. It can consist of conversation, body language, or brief physical contact. It may be one-sided or reciprocated.

Flirting is often used as a means of expressing interest and gauging the other person's interest in courtship, which can continue into long term relationships. Alternatively, it may simply be a prelude to casual sex with no continuing relationship.

In other situations, it may be done simply for immediate entertainment, with no intention of developing any further relationship. This type of flirting sometimes faces disapproval from others, either because it can be misinterpreted as more serious, or it may be viewed as "cheating" if the person is already in a romantic relationship with someone else.

There are three degrees of flirting. The first degree is unintentional, and can occur during normal conversations between two people. You are not consciously trying to impress or make the other person laugh, but your subconscious is at work. The second degree is intentionally trying to make the person laugh, or impressing him or her. Lastly, the third degree of flirting is intentional, and not at all subtle. The person is going out of his or her way to impress someone.

10 Faux-Pas Flirting Tips

1. Attitude: If you don’t have it, you can’t flaunt it. The best flirts are risk takers with an unshakeable confidence.
2. Humor: A must-have. One of the core elements of a relationship is the ability to make the other person laugh; be it “at” or “with” you.

3. Believability: You have to believe you’re a great catch or no one else will. Period. If you don’t think you’re worth it, you’ve lost the game before it’s begun.

4. Assertiveness: Approach someone and start a conversation. And no, you do not have to be a male to make the first move. Welcome to the 21st century.

5. Accessorize: Not with jewelry and matching shoes, but with conversation starters like dogs, a good book, or a signature scent that’s bound to attract attention.

6. Approachability: Nobody likes an ice-queen, or king for that matter. Force yourself to let your guard down and you’ll make yourself more approachable.

7. Eye Contact: Don’t stare the other person down; simply give them the attention and respect they deserve.

8. Have Fun: Nothing says “comfortable” like a person who is willing to “let down their hair” and be spontaneous and goofy. It goes back to that humor thing!

9. Sincerity: If they are truly interested in you, they will want you to feel comfortable being the “real you”. Don’t be afraid to show a little vulnerability.

10. Smile: Not only does it show you’re enjoying your company, it’s contagious, and it makes you one hundred times more attractive and approachable!
