Flirting in real life can feel intimidating, but with the right approach, it can be fun and natural. Here are five tips to help you confidently navigate flirting at your next singles or speed dating event:

1. Use Open Body Language

Maintain eye contact, smile, and avoid crossing your arms. Lean in slightly during conversations to show you’re engaged. Open body language makes you appear approachable and interested. It’s all about making the other person feel comfortable and at ease.

2. Compliment the Unexpected ✨

Everyone enjoys compliments, but instead of focusing on appearance, try complimenting something unique like their laugh, sense of humor, or an interesting insight they shared. This shows you’re paying attention to who they are, not just how they look.

3. Start with Playful Teasing

Light-hearted teasing can add a fun dynamic to your interaction. Keep it friendly

and respectful—humour is a great way to break the ice and build a connection without coming on too strong.

4. Ask Open-Ended Questions ❓

Instead of simple yes/no questions, ask things that encourage more conversation.

Questions like “What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done?” can spark a deeper dialogue and show genuine interest in their experiences.

5. Respect Boundaries and Social Cues

Flirting is about reading the other person’s body language and respecting their comfort level. If they seem engaged and reciprocating, keep going. If they pull away or seem disinterested, respect their space.
