The Fine Art of Flirting

The Fine Art of Flirting is a lighthearted approach to enticing others. Flirting properly can be a significant useful tool to attract the opposite sex. In the proper context flirting can be a lot of fun... The Re-Discovery of Common Sense: A Guide to: The Lost Art of Critical Thinking

I give this book 5stars because it is poosibly the finest book in the genre. Joyce Jillson lays it all out clear and concise...Letting you know what to do and how to do it. From emotionally not putting all of your eggs in one basket to how to carry on an enjoyable conversation. One bit of caution is advised...do not flirt with people you know to be demons and monsters in the flesh...for when you do succeed in engaging them romantically or otherwise your life may become a living hell. Choose your companions wisely to get the most out of this insightful and fun book!!!

If you're single, you probably know you need to date if you want to get married. But there's a lesser-known fact that's just as important. As a dating expert and author myself, I know this to be one of the universal truths of our time-you need to flirt if you want to have dates! As the book says, some people are born with it, but most people need to learn it. If you think that learning how to flirt is going to be work, you're probably right. But it's not the drudgerous 4-letter kind of work you're used to ... it's fun work. How is that possible? Just jump into Joyce Jillson's book and you'll soon find out.An early chapter describes Flirtophobia (aka the fear of flirting). Most people who are not natural flirts will fall into this category. She then takes you completely through the A to Z's of flirting, from using flattery as a flirtatious device to the Flirter's Code of Ethics. She even describes the most flirtatious drinks! The sometimes comical illustrations keep this book in perspective, as flirting and comedy should both be light and fun.The only part of this book that shows is age is the chapter on how to flirt at (the now-defunct) salad bars and at jazzercise classes. If you're under 18, never fear. Yoga has replaced jazzercise, and salad bars may once again come into vogue. But thankfully, flirting will never go out of style.Bottom line-a chance meeting will only become a "close encounter" if you brush up on your flirting skills, and this is an easy-to-read manual to get you started.

I bought this book over a decade ago and still refer to it on occasion! It's part how-to book and part just fun (lists of top flirts through the ages, etc.) It gets you over the hump and helps you believe that you, too, can flirt.
