How to Flirt: Five Tips to Improve Your Gay Dating Skills

Sadly, true flirting is a skill that can not be taught.  You either have it or you don’t  With that said, there is always room for improvement.  Here are some tips on how to get that guys attention:

1.  Make eye contact. Never underestimate the power of an intent glance.  Position yourself in a place where you can make eye contact and get his attention.

2.  Keep staring. It’s our nature to stop looking at someone once they catch us looking.  But that is the exact opposite of what you want to do!  Once you’ve locked eyes with him, keep your glance for at least a few seconds. Don’t forget to give a little playful grin, you don’t want him to think you’re some psycho staring him down.

3.  Make your move. There’s nothing worse than missing your window.  Strike while the iron is hot.  Go over there and seal the deal!   This of course is the hardest part.

4.  Just do it. Gather your strength and approach him with confidence.  Give him a sly grin and introduce yourself.  Keep your cool, as to avoid any awkwardness, and get the conversation rolling.

5.  Do the drive by. Don’t have the guts to try to talk to him?  Then why not try this instead … write your phone number on a piece of paper.  Walk straight up to him with confidence, head held high and shoulders back.  Fake it if you have to, or this move won’t work.  Hand him your number and say something bold like “dinner.  you.  me.”  And then walk off proudly into the sunset.  If you do it right, he’s sure to be intrigued enough to call.

6.  Get in and get out. Did you get his attention?  Good.  Now leave before you ruin it!  Get his number or his e-mail address and get out of there while he’s still intrigued by you.

7.  Don’t forget to follow up. You’ve done all the hard work, now make sure you don’t let it all go to waste!  If you got his number and you said you’d call, then call!  This is why you went through all that in the first place.  It’s best to wait about twenty-four to forty-eight hours before calling.  If you call too soon and you might wind up  looking desperate.  But on the other hand, if you wait too long you can run the risk of him forgetting who you are entirely.
