Dating is Like a Dance, Learn How to Perform It

Learn how to dance—both literally and metaphorically. Not only should you have a basic knowledge of how to twirl your date around the dance floor, but understand that courting, flirting, and wooing are all part of the metaphorical dance. It keeps things exciting and hopeful.

Don't Flirt With Others In Front of Your Date

Perhaps your date isn’t going as perfectly as you thought, and maybe your waitress seems to be more interested in you than your date. Although this may be the case, don’t flirt with anyone else. You may think you’re coming off charming and fun, or even saving your date from the situation that may not be going so great; but frankly, paying attention to anyone else while you’re out is just rude—no matter what the situation may be.

3 Best Flirting Tips

Flirting is the best way to show you’re interested and having fun; it’s also a difficult task for some. There’s a fine line between flirting and taking the technique to an awkward extreme. Keep these few suggestions in mind:

1. Smile. Smiling shows you’re happy and having a good time, so show off your pearly whites.
2. Laugh (but not at everything). If you laugh at everything that’s being said, especially at your own jokes, you may want to take it down a notch. Excessive giddiness can make you come off too desperate to please your date. Laugh when appropriate, and laugh genuinely. Fake laughs are the worst and, honestly, kind of insulting, too.
3. Make physical contact. While reaching for a knee mid-flirt can be interpreted as inappropriate and definitely over the edge, a light touch on the arm or hand shows comfort and sincerity.
