Flirting 101: How To Get A Date

Rigel Celeste

Alright, you're back in school and there are lost of interesting and attractive people around but for some reason you're not dating. For some people flirting comes naturally, but for others not so much. This here's a guide to help the bumbling romantic idiots of the world hook up with other bumbling romantic idiots. God help us all.

 

Smell Nice

If you can't pass the sniff test take your stanky self home. Smelling like soap or vanilla is always good... smelling like something died or farted is always bad. I don't know where pheromones come from, but I'm pretty sure they're not an ingredient in diaper breath. If you are stinky, nobody will want to date you.

 

Practice Your 'Come Hither' Look

A good 'come hither' look is an effective and very serious weapon. Be careful who you aim it at, and always have a good 'get back' glare ready in case you catch a dud.

 

Smile

People who are happy smile. People want to be around other happy people. If you're a Debbie Downer, noboby is going to want to hang out with you so, smile. Let the world (and your prospective date) know that you're happy to see them.

 

Reach Out and Touch Someone

Breaking the touch barrier is an unmistakable way of letting someone know you're interested. A hug or a brush of the arm can let someone know how you feel about them. But beware: if you don't do it right, the touch back could be hard and fast to the face.

 

Use Body Language

There really is something to body language. If you're always crossing your arms you may want to take a look at how closed off you are to other people. You want to use body language that is open, friendly, and sincere. Don't drive people away with your body language or you'll never get a date.

 

Be A Good Listener

Oh Woody. FYI staring at a girl's chest does not count as 'listening carefully'. Being a good listener is as imortant to the words that you actually say. How are you gonna know if a girl/guy is right for you if you're not listening to what they have to say.

 

Be Yourself

Maybe not THAT much "yourself." You want to be a cleaned up, polite version of yourself... At least until there's a commitment of some kind, that's when you get to unleash the real you. Everybody knows that.

 

Don't Be Desperate

Although if you're reading this you probably already are. So sorry.

 

Live A Full Life

I know it sounds like a clichet but seriously... find fun and interesting things to do. You'll meet people, and you'll have something to talk about when you meet other people. The best thing you can do to be attractive to the oppisite sex is to live a full and happy life. Try new things, travel to new places, pursue your passions and your interests and you'll meet lots new people who like doing similar things.

 

We can't get you an actual date but if you take my advice, people are more likely to want to talk to you. If you're stinky, or closed off, or desperate people are going to pick up on that and it will push them away. If you just practice being open, friendly, and sincere the right guy/gal will come along. I promise.
