i met this guy back in february and i liked him right from the start. i had never had a boyfriend before so i was very innexperienced in flirting and stuff. everyone started asking me if i liked him and stuff and i kept saying sure. but then someone told me that he liked me and i was sooo excited!! i really didn't think he did tho cuz he didn't act like it or anyhting. and now my friend likes him!! i seriously can't tell when someone is flirting and i missed my chance!! how can i be better at communicating without putting myself on the line?

NicoleMarie answered Monday August 2 2004, 8:45 pm: I was the same way. I was labeled as quiet and shy...and i sucked at flirting! One of the hardest, but most effective way of flirting is eye contact and smiling. And that is because eye contact proves you are interested. A guy likes a girl who will listen. Have you ever been talking to someone who constantly looks away? Its not very reassuring. Also, smiling is like natures prozac..like the sunshine. And its contagious. Another thing, that i have known to be effective is a wink. If you notice a guy keeps looking at you, and you are interested, wink at him. If you are unsure of whether the guy is interested, then strike up a conversation. Something simple. Even if it sounds like a line, and might not be true, tell him he looks familiar. ask him about school or where he works. If he likes you, he'll keep the conversation going. About your friend, well, what can i say, friends like to compete. Its a given. But let her know when you are interested in a guy. Hopefully she'll get the hint.
