Men and women flirt in various ways, for different reasons, and with different expectations. However, if you ignore the consequence and flirt simply to be friendly, you will open yourself up to new possibilities. You might meet a new lover, but if that doesn't work out, you might meet someone who becomes a close friend, and you never know who she might introduce you to. Maintain a flexible mindset.

Send her a drink after you've exchanged glances and grins across a room and you're quite certain she thinks she'd like to learn more about you. But keep in mind that all you're getting is a drink. Don't expect her to come crashing down at your feet. It's sometimes enough to simply offer someone a drink, watch as she accepts it and smile, then look away, returning later to show your interest.

If you're invited to her table, focus on the conversation rather than on landing a date with her. Long before they go out with someone, most women want to know what kind of person they're going out with. Before you go on a date, make an effort to get to know her and allow her the opportunity to get to know you.

Never approach two women in the same group at the same time. No woman desires to be second best. Avoid approaching people in the same group one after the other. You appear to be a loser, and women may believe you are desperate for a port in a storm. Even if you are, keep it hidden.

Make assured that any compliment you give to a woman is sincere. Nothing is more irritating than someone who uses a lot of exaggerated language. Everyone has something positive about them; take note of it and honestly compliment them.

Never put your hands on a woman without her permission. Some women are fine with 'touchy feely' interactions, while others are terrified of them. Respect the individual until you have had the chance to learn more about her. Touching can be a nice playful gesture, but it should be limited to the arms or resting the hand just above the arms until you learn more. By going closer, seeing the reactions, and then drawing back a little to remove the threat, you can test the personal space.

Always be respectful of oneself. Women are constantly drawn to males who are just a little bit out of reach. Avoid hovering, groveling, or being desperate. Consider yourself unique, and know that you are deserving of nothing but the best.
