How To Spot People Who Are Available To Flirt With

If you want to avoid wasting your time and effort launching into a anything more than a friendly flirt then it pays making your first priority to check if that person is available. Lets face if you are flirting with people who are available you are going to achieve a much higher success rate.

Once you know someone is available, you next need to decide how much effort you are going to put in to pursue them. To allow yourself to make that decision, you need to be able to tell how interested the other person is.

People generally take one of four stances when being flirted with. To improve your flirting hit rate enormously read the following advice carefully;

The Wallflower

The wallflower waits at the back of a group or side of the room waiting for you to make your move to flirt with them. The wallflower is by no means the easiest person to flirt with but if there are no easier types then try this approach.

Be prepared to do all of the running and don't give up on first eye contact. If they are not returning much eye contact then try to encourage them by making the use of your own facial language: lots of smiling, changing in expression, head nods and tilts etc. Flirting with a wallflower is slow work - they need lots of encouragement and reassurance that you really do like them.

The fence sitter

The fence sitter hangs around the edges of any social gathering, interjecting only when they feel comfortable doing so. Fence sitters wont declare their hand unless they are sure you fancy them.

Fence sitters are fairly easy to flirt with once you know the secret to getting them to open up. Very simply by letting them know you like them, declaring your hand, they will jump right in if they like you as well. Use expressive facial language and subtle compliments to encourage the fence sitter to get the hint.

The egoist

Egoists are the quickest to strike up a conversation and the easiest to flirt with. They like to be the centre of attention and for you to be hanging on to their every word and reciprocating all of their body language advances.

Give them plenty of eye contact, let them do the talking as they really do enjoy the sound of their own voice, laugh at their jokes and smile a lot. The only downside with an egoist is working out whether they really like you or you are just another person in the room they are flirting with. If they do really like you, they will eventually let you do the talking.

The already spoken for

These people are usually already in a relationship and may be happy to flirt without intent or simply may not flirt at all. Flirting can provide them recognition, affection, excitement and so on. So why would you want to flirt with them if they are already taken? Well they can be a great route to an introduction to their mate, who is available.
