You'd like to flirt, but how do you get a guy's attention? Can you learn to be flirtatious without setting yourself up to get hurt? Do you know what to do when you see a cutie across the room that you'd like to meet? You can learn to get a guy's attention, and keep it once you start talking, with a few little tricks.
The very first thing that you should learn is the power of the lingering glance. You will need to make eye contact if you want to signal your interest in someone. You don't want to stare at him, which will come off as creepy. But, if you can catch his eye, just hold your gaze for a second or two.
If you lower your head and look at him from under your lashes, that is a glance that many men find very appealing. Hold the look for an extra second. Look away, and then look back briefly. That will let him know that you have noticed him, and that you like what you see.
The most inviting signal you can send is a smile. Nothing is as appealing and disarming as a sudden smile, and this will always get a guy's attention. While you are working on your flirtatious glances, remember to include a little half-smile before you look away.
If you see anything unusual or funny going on around you, then you have a golden opportunity. Look right at him and smile, as if sharing your amusement with him. This creates an instant conspiratorial bond. If you catch his eye and smile, he will find a way to talk to you if he's at all interested.
Once that conversation starts, keep things light and flirtatious. Use humor when you can, and keep things playful. It is a mistake to be too forward or obvious. You should try to convey that you are interested, but without being too heavy-handed. If you can signal your interest, and then carry off the conversation in a way that is both comfortable and fun, then you will get a guy's attention.
