4.0 out of 5 stars For Flirts, it offers a few reminders, and a few insights, August 8, 2001

By	Lisa Shea "LisaShea.com" - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

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!

By A Customer

This book caused me to be laughed at, have a drink thrown in my face, and laughed at some more. And I ain't even that ugly!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great initial communication ideas, March 13, 2000

By	Richard Reed (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

I highly recommend this book for those of us who have been away from flirting and dating for a while. After reading some of the other reviews, I expected very radical, in-you-face, type flirting suggestions. I was extremely pleased with how non-intrusive and playful the suggestions are. This book has some great initial communication ideas!
