A "How-to" flirting guide for those of us who have no clue!

From the page: "According to some evolutionary psychologists, flirting may even be the foundation of civilisation as we know it. They argue that the large human brain - our superior intelligence, complex language, everything that distinguishes us from animals - is the equivalent of the peacock's tail: a courtship device evolved to attract and retain sexual partners. Our achievements in everything from art to rocket science may be merely a side-effect of the essential ability to charm." An interesting guide about flirting.

A Site all about flirting...... obliviously something I have never done! From the page: "'Flirting for fun' At one level, you can flirt with more or less anyone. An exchange of admiring glances or a bit of light-hearted flirtatious banter can brighten the day, raise self-esteem and strengthen social bonds. Flirtation at this level is harmless fun, and only the stuffiest killjoys could possibly have any objections. Clearly, it makes sense to exercise a degree of caution with people who are married or attached. Most people in long-term relationships can cope with a bit of admiration, and may even benefit from knowing that others find them or their partners attractive, but couples differ in their tolerance of flirtatious behaviour, and it is important to be alert to signs of discomfort or distress. Research has also shown that men have a tendency to mistake friendly behaviour for sexual flirting. This is not because they are stupid or deluded, but because they tend to see the world in more sexual terms than women. There is also evidence to suggest that women are naturally more socially skilled than men, better at interpreting people's behaviour and responding appropriately. Indeed, scientists have recently claimed that women have a special 'diplomacy gene' which men lack. This means that women need to be particularly careful to avoid sending ambiguous signals in interactions with married men, and men need to be aware that married/attached males may misinterpret friendly behaviour towards their wives/girlfriends. Otherwise, light-hearted flirtation is both harmless and enjoyable."

sometimes it is useful to quantify seemingly obvious things.

SIRC Guide to Flirting What Social Science can tell you about flirting and how to do it Interesting guide... not like I need help to flirt... :P Lots of information about non-verbal communication. It's funny to think of flirting as a scientifical, technical operation. Though I know it's all genetic and social stuff... I prefer to think of it as something more personnal and mysterious. But, for those of you who are single and looking out, feel free to read it become flirting technicians!

quite wordy for a webpage. you'd better be in a mood to do a little more than looking at Flash animations, but it's definitely worth it. It is full of rules that you never even noticed you apply in all your everyday "flirting" interactions. Or else, that you should. There are classics like "body signals", but you will also read about interesting concepts like "respecting the speaking ratio", "getting gradually more intimate", and how to decypher simple answers from your "target"... very insightful, easy to understand and hum, easy to relate to....
