It might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about learning how to play flirty, but a woman needs to know where to meet a guy.
Everyone knows that location is key when choosing a place to work or live, but it's also important when choosing a place to flirt. Finding a guy to flirt with is all about selecting the right environment that can compliment and draw attention to you. It should be a place you feel comfortable and welcome, with an atmosphere that's right for some flirtation.
You want to meet a man in a place where you can actually hear each other speak, somewhere easy to spark conversation. Choose a place you can throw a smile and ask a flirty question or two.

Ladies, we are living in a brave new world, and waiting patiently for a guy you're eyeing to make the first move is a thing of the past.
Some women are hesitant to make the first move because they don't want to come on too strong and risk scaring away a prospective date. Sometimes, you can also be unsure of the signs the guy likes you!
But if he can't handle the fact that you approached him first, he probably can't handle all you have to offer anyways. Knowing how to start a conversation with a guy can help you narrow down your options to a real man you're most likely to get along with.
And it will help to make sure you're set for a conversation that actually goes somewhere, not just the normal "you come here often" kind of stuff. Know the right questions to get to know a person better so you don't result in stalking the guy on Facebook or Twitter.
So, if you find yourself making eyes with a guy across the room, don't wait there with your fingers crossed, hoping that he'll come over and say something. Take it as a cue to head over and start a conversation. If he's a shy guy, he'll appreciate the effort on your part.
Pro Tip 1. Know a few questions to ask a guy you like
If your conversation should ever happen to run dry, knowing a few questions to ask a guy you like can really come in handy.
You don't need to be a relationship expert to know not to string these all back to back, as that could get a little awkward. But having a good conversation starter and a few different things to talk about ready to go is a great way to keep things going with your crush.

Pro Tip 2. How to text him
In most modern relationships, conversations are just as likely to happen via text as they are face to face.
Heed a dating coach's relationship advice: if you're wondering, "Should I text him?" the answer is almost always yes!
He gave you his number, and we're all on our phones all the time anyway, so sending him a random text message or messaging him on social media is a completely normal thing to do, and you shouldn't feel weird about it at all.
If he's feeling the same thing you are, he'll be overjoyed to see your name pop up on his lock screen. Send him a picture of something you saw that made you laugh or a quick message that references something you talked about earlier. It's a great way to spark a texting conversation. Soon enough, you and your guy will be engaged in flirty texts.

Everyone has a different idea of how to get men's attention, but just like flirting, attraction is incredibly individual. You know the saying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
When trying to attract a man, however, think about the best parts of yourself; your sense of humor, your passion, your creativity, or whatever it might be, and put your energy into building up and showing off those qualities. Think of subtle ways to promote yourself.
Give the guy a good reason to be attracted to you by showing him how special you are. He'll be attracted to your willingness to be yourself, and you won't have to pretend to be someone you're not.
Pro Tip 1. Know how to get a guy to like you
If you can feel the pull of mutual attraction and want the feeling to last beyond this one conversation, you're going to need to know how to get a boy to like you. And to do that, we need to figure out exactly what it means to like somebody.
To get him crushing and motivated to see you again, you have to make sure you stick out in his mind. The way to be memorable depends on your personality and your strengths. Flirt with him in a way to have the man wanting more. He should leave with you as the woman on his mind and the feeling that no matter what, he's got to see you again.

Pro Tip 2. Make him miss you
One problem fledgling relationships run into is having too much contact much too fast. You can get so caught up with your crush and the flirting that you almost immediately become inseparable.
You and your man need some space to breathe in the early stages of a relationship; otherwise, the spark can get smothered, and the flame will die out before it has a chance to really heat up. That's why knowing how to make him miss you can help keep the interest alive, and learning how to play hard to get the right way can actually be a brilliant strategy.
Give him the chance to miss you to avoid getting sick of each other.

Pro Tip 3. Build a connection
To really attract a person, you need to build a connection with them. When you're talking and flirting, make sure to display open body language and show them you're interested in them too. Give him the right amount of eye contact, and flirt with him openly.
Ask deep questions and actively listen to what he has to say to build a strong rapport and a lasting connection.
A woman should know that flirting is a powerful tool for building a connection, so use flirting skills to your advantage.
