4.0 out of 5 stars
For Flirts, it offers a few reminders, and a few insights, August 8, 2001
This book is definitely a quick read - it's small format, only 101 items in it, and each gets a paragraph or two of copy. None of the ideas presented are of mind-boggling compexity. One tip is to whisper to someone at the library. Another is to only *glance* at your flirtee instead of staring at them. Yet another is to watch body language - watch to see if the person you're talking to is sitting stiffly with arms crossed. Hopefully most people who talk to other people have figured some of this stuff out :)Still, there are good tips hidden in here. For example, when a man is flirting with a woman at a party and they are walking along, the man can gently take the arm of the woman to help guide her through the crowd. This is sort of a 'here, I'll help you out' and also a 'I'm interested in you' combo move which I always find quite appealing. It gives tips about how to talk with the person you're flirting with - asking open ended questions that need more than a yes/no answer. Discussing things in a way that you only say a sentence or two yourself, so that the other person is drawn into the conversation. It even gives a few tips on breaking up or opting out of a situation cleanly, if you end up with someone that you decide isn't quite right for you. While this isn't an in depth study of relationships, and definitely not a guide to dating or marriage, it certainly offers decent tips on how to become an accomplished flirt. Check it out, and see if you learn a thing or two!
