Tips on Attracting a Guy

By Farina Aziz


The seduction or attraction of a man by a woman depends on a mixture of chance and skill. It involves chance because a woman may meet a man who simply has peculiar preferences and isn't enthusiastic about the woman. It involves skill too, for when the man has potential for interest, a woman still must know what to say, how to move and express herself in conversation to hold his interest and make it flower. The woman must learn to harness and control this skill.

In between the absence of a relationship and the full-onset of one, women and men engage in a span of flirting to open up and get to know each other. However, flirting doesn't always lead to romance, nor are romantic intentions a prerequisite for flirting. Two reasons come to mind to explain this. Firstly, humans will use opportunities of face-to-face interaction to hone their skills. Therefore, it's not unnatural that when any man and woman meet, one or both will engage in mild, low-level flirtation. Secondly, flirting plays a role of reducing tension in group settings by helping people open up and understand each other, provided that flirting is carried out in a nonthreatening way.

Three simple pieces make up the act of flirting: nonverbal cues before any talking, proper dress and grooming to ensure she is not misinterpreted, particular things that she says which indicate interest on her part. One, a woman uses nonverbal cues like eye contact a smiling before words have been exchanged. Two, a woman dresses in clothes and is groomed to suggest that she would be interested in forming new connections to others. Three, a woman speaks in a certain way signifying interest in another, using both specific words and topics.

Eye contact is a neglected but vital part of flirting. Foremost, establishing eye contact is the primary way for a woman to signal to a man that she is interested in meeting him, in the absence of an intermediary to who can formal introductions. To properly use her eyes to flirt, a woman should learn to scan her surroundings and the people around her, but be able to rest her gaze for a few almost imperceptibly longer moments on a man in whom she is interested. If the man isn't too dim-witted, he should pick up this signal and approach her. If he doesn't get the message, she can repeat this prolonged gaze once or twice to reinforce the message.

During her ensuing conversation with a man, a woman must use her positioning, space and orientation to her maximal advantage. She must keep a "receptive" posture by keeping her arms open and uncrossed, with her face and shoulders toward the man to signal that she's willing to speak to him openly. If she's with a tight-knit circle of friends, she must make the effort to turn away from them slightly to increase her exposure to the man.

A woman should be concerned about preparing for her encounters by ensuring that her dress, make-up and hair are appropriate for flirting. It's no good if she comes out in gym clothes. Although this has no impact if she should get into a deep conversation with a man, poor choice of clothing may inhibit them from showing interest as they interpret her being either in a relationship or merely uninterested in starting a new one. In a similar vein, her make-up should be in good taste, and she should spend at least a little effort in making sure her hair is prepped. These basics continue to increase little by little her chances for success.

In summary, the things over which a woman has control should be emphatically practiced. She can ensure that she is dressed right and looks appropriate for the occasion, and exert her nonverbal and verbal cues at the right times. With practice she will be able to increasingly improve her chances of attracting guys she wants.
