You are browsing the shelves at the bookstore and glance up to see a beautiful woman turn into your aisle. You both smile and you turn back to the books, your pulse racing and your mind in turmoil. Will you give her your best line? Will you stay quiet and wonder about her for the rest of the day?

Some people flirt as naturally as they breathe, others have a little more trouble. Flirting is a form of communication that has multiple purposes. When meeting someone new, it can be a way to gauge interest. In a long term relationship, it can be a way to rekindle romance.

Flirting with a Stranger

1. Make eye contact. Catch her eye, but don't hold a stranger's gaze for too long. Flirting with a woman should express your interest, not make you seem like a stalker. A few brief glances are more effective and give the woman an opportunity to simply look away if she is uninterested.

2. Keep it friendly. In an unknown situation, it's a safe bet to stay on the friendly side of flirting. Ask if she can recommend a book or if she has the time. If she doesn't make an effort to continue the conversation after two comments, you can move on without embarassment.

3. Talk about interests. Complimenting her appearance can be flattering, but chatting about her interests gives you a chance to get to know her. Don't claim to like or hate everything she does. Honesty will get you further, especially if your differences spark a lively conversation.

4. Avoid obvious pick-up lines. Unless you are adept at a self-deprecating delivery and you are reasonably sure she's interested, pick-up lines are a gamble. Flirting with a woman should engage her in conversation, not make her feel like the object of your games.

5. Watch her reactions. Body language can tell you if a woman is interested. If she is looking you in the eye, smiling, and making an effort to continue the conversation, chances are she is interested. If she seems uncomfortable, don't push yourself on her.

6. Keep it light. Flirting with a woman is a great way to strike up a conversation and see if you have fun together. It isn't the time to hash over past relationships or family problems. Talk about movies, books, or common friends.

7. Don't come on too strong. Confidence can be a turn-on, but being too full of yourself is not. Women don't like to be treated as conquests. Giving a woman a chance to meet you halfway shows that you respect her.

8. Don't take rejection personally. No matter what you say to her, not every woman will be interested.
