4 sneaky ways to flirt like it's your job


 

Check these out, too...

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
  • Smooching secrets from real guys
  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
If you want to find an excuse to talk to a boy you’ve got your eye on, keep it simple! Using small talk will make you AND him more comfortable. Here, you’ll have a chance to talk to him in his comfort zone, making it easier for him to chat with you. And remember: be casual!
 
See a cutie working at the grocery store? Go up to him and ask him to show you where the cake batters are. If he escorts you to an aisle, you can even ask him for his recommendation. This way he’ll be forced to have a convo’ with you, and he’ll notice that you like to bake. Bingo!
 
Keep eyeing the lifeguard at the pool? When you notice he’s on a break, find him and ask if the pool has any job openings. Even if you’re not looking to be a lifeguard, he’ll see that you’re interested (in the pool, and him).
 
For the attractive store clerk at a clothing store, ask him to help you pick out an outfit for an upcoming event. It’s his job to know fashion, so you can trust him with what he picks out. You can tell him your style so he gets just the right outfit for you. Easy and flirty!
 
Out to dinner and your waiter is a total babe? Ask him what the specials are, and what he suggests. Keep the conversation up by asking what his favorite thing on the menu is. Order some dessert to keep bringing him back to your table. Don’t forget to leave a good tip!
 
 
Loved this post? You’ll heart these, too!

Ummm.

I feel like the first one, about the grocery store worker, is a little offensive. "And he'll notice that you like to bake. Bingo?" This may just be my inner feminist coming out, but come on. I want a guy who likes me for more than my baking skills. As a magazine that many young girls look up to, it doesn't seem right to include that in an article. Young girls should not be receiving the message that baking/cooking is all they're good for. Trust me, you'll get enough of that as you get older with the increasing amount of "get back in the kitchen" jokes. Just my opinion.

MOD MOD MOD,
Well this isn't a real emergency, but next year i'm going to middle school, and i asked my mom if in middle school i can hang with friends, like at the pool, mall, and library, she said no, but i don't think it's a big deal. Anyway what can make her change her mind? Thanks Lots! Smile




Hey girlie,

Try talking to her after some time has passed. Instead of asking her the same question again ("Can I hang out with my friends at the mall?"), ask her a slightly different question: "What are your concerns about me hanging out with my friends at the mall?" Try to learn where mom is coming from - what is she worried about and why is she saying no? Is it your age? Is she unfamiliar with your friends? Does she not trust your friends? Is there a way you can prove yourself to her? Ask her these questions in a mature and calm way to show her you want to work with her to figure this out. She might still say no - and then you'll have to keep your hangouts to home-only. But she might surprise you, too!

MOD!
There's this guy. I'm 14, he's 17. He was a german exchange student who lived with my family for 2 months. But now I see him as more than a brother. When he left to go back to Germany, I realized how much I missed him. I really wish I didnt like him. It makes everything complicated. Since he was practically my brother, we had that "love" between us. He says he loves me when we say goodbye from skype and vice versa. Its been a year since I last saw him and my feelings are still holding me back from trying to focus on guys that are my age and actually live in the country.
My mom noticed I liked him and she's (jokingly, yet seriously) given me permission to date him when I'm 18.
But I feel so stupid because I'm so young, and it just seems foolish for me to even have these feelings for someone 3 years older than me.
Should we see what happens when we visit each other? Or should I wait it out, test the waters while he's thousands of miles away and move on?

 

If your mother approves of this boy then I'm sure he is a great guy. I would not rush in to anything when he comes to visit, just see what happens. As for the age difference, three years is not that large of a difference. Just remember that older boy, especially those at his age, sometimes want more from girls than is appropriate so be safe! Don't do anything you feel uncomfortable with when he comes to visit. Good Luck! xoxo Kerra

please help me asap!
my boyfriend and I are having some issues. we havent seen eachother at all this summer, and it takes him over a week to respond to my texts. it doesnt seem like a big deal, i know, but in order for my to dump my ex and start dating him, he promised me that this wouldnt happen. todat he just broke our date because he's going to florida for three weeks. (probably something he knew about a long time ago, and just didn't bother to tell me)I really really like him and dont want to break up with him, but i want to talk to him about how i feel our relationship isn't working. he also only seems to like me cuz he thinks im the prettiest girl at our school. I want to talk to him without it being awkward or him taking it the wrong way. he leaves for florida tomorrow afternoon and i would like to talk to him before he leaves.thanks in advance!

 

I would call him! Call and ask to talk about things. The best way to make sure things are ok with your relationship is to communicate and make sure you two are on the same page. By the sounds of things you are not being treated the way you deserve to be. I think you should talk to him and then think about what he says and then think about whether the relationship is worth the way you are being treated. xoxo Kerra

*sigh* i was in zumiez today and there was this uber cute guy working (of course, there's always cute guys there). i didn't really talk to him, but he seemed really nice. i started to leave, but doubled back to look at something else and he laughed (a super cute laugh) when i said "hello again" in a sarcastic-but-cute way. if i hadn't have been with my dad, i would have maybe talked to him, at least found out how old he was... oh well, i'll just have to make a point of going in there next time i'm at the mall...=]
