Ever felt like you constantly keep on getting rejected when you try to flirt with a woman that you like? If you’re getting more rejections than genuinely happy smiles, chances are that you need to improve your flirting game. Gone are the days when cheesy pick-up lines were acceptable and these days, approaching flirting that way isn’t going to get you very far. We’ve got some top tips to help you become better at flirting and engage in conversations with women that will leave them actually wanting to take you up on the offer of a date or go on that second date.

Practice Makes Perfect:

There’s not much point in learning some new flirting skills if you’re not going to get much chance to use them. One of the best ways to practice your new skills and fine-tune your flirting abilities is to join a dating site. If you join a website and want to get a date and chatting with single women not only means that you can practice what you’ve learned, figure out what works and what doesn’t work for you, and maybe even meet a potential new partner.

Start With Banter:

When you first get talking to a girl, flirtatious banter is one of the best ways to break the ice, get her attention, and build rapport. If the chemistry is there then this is likely to come naturally for you but it might take some effort if you are usually shy and introverted. However, you can also spark a connection by switching between more serious topics and flirty banter, which shows her you’re good at communicating in different ways.

Use Personalized Compliments

If you’re using a social site to chat & flirt with single women, try to avoid using generic, unoriginal compliments. This is especially true on a dating site where doing this makes it really obvious that you’re probably just copying and pasting and haven’t really paid much attention to her profile. Take notice of the profiles of the women you’re speaking with online and pay compliments that are personal to them.

Remember the Little Things:

Paying attention is one of the best traits that you can have when you’re flirting. A man who can pay attention to the little things and doesn’t overlook the small details will usually always go further in dating. Simple things like repeating somebody’s words back to them in your own words can go a long way when it comes to showing them that you’re putting the effort into getting to know and understanding them.

Make Eye Contact:

There’s nothing more off-putting than a guy who keeps looking away while he’s trying to flirt. And while holding eye contact can be scary when you’ve not known somebody for very long, it’s also very seductive and powerful, and doing so will help you get better results.

Whether you’re looking for a fun and casual relationship or want to settle down into something more serious, almost every good relationship starts with good flirting.
