Flirt just right

When it comes to flirting, there are some common mistakes women tend to commit. Here’s what you should avoid when making a move on the man you like
Flirting is the first step to show interest in a potential partner. When done right, it can lead to dating or, if you’re lucky enough, a relationship. But what when you don’t get it right? Well, you’d come across as the ‘wrong person to be with’.Here is a list of what you should avoid while flirting...
1. Asking too much too soon
Not getting personal is a key rule. So, if there’s something you’d not like someone to ask you during the initial meetings, ensure you follow the same rule. Don’t ask personal questions, especially about past relationships and experiences.
2. Playing way too hard to get
So, you think playing those mini games with this person is going to help — give a cue once and then ignore completely or behave as if you are something he/she will have to earn. Trust us, if it’s not you, there’s always other fish in the water to fetch, so you’re not going to be missed.
3. Rambling
Don’t go on talking about everything under the sun. While communication is partly the idea of flirting, talking unnecessarily will just put across a ‘she’s-a-chatterbox’ impression. Now, that’s not a tag you would want to be labelled with.
4. Talking about your past
‘Oh! my ex did that you know!’ or ‘Yes, my ex was awesome’... These are topics you must refrain from. If you are flirting with someone, it shouldn’t seem like you are hung up over your ex/exes. PS: No one wants to scan your ex’s character certificate.
5. Being self-obsessed
If it’s all about you, maybe that’s not going to work. Flirting is a two-way process, there’s got to be an action and reaction. Your conversations can’t hover on topics such as ‘my likes/dislikes’ and ‘my life’. There’s got to be a balance.
6. Don’t be whiny
Being fussy about everything — be it the kind of food you’ve just ordered or your workplace and things that matter only to you — well, we’d say you put that trait aside. No one wants to tolerate a cry baby, especially at a flirt session.
7. Groping
Coming too strong and going directly for the kill without any talk or gesture... ah! ah! Now, that’s someone who’d come across as desperate. You might really be wanting some action, but a little wait may be a good idea.
