Introduction

      What do we mean by ‘flirting’ anyway?

      Let’s begin by redefining the word ‘flirting’. Remember, if we didn’t redefine things as we went along we’d all still be hunting for our meat and living in caves. Flirting comes from the old French word fleurter, meaning ‘to flower’. Here are a few modern definitions from participants in my flirting classes:

      Here’s a mnemonic that sums up flirting for me:

       Feeling good about yourself.

       Liking other people.

       Interest in others makes YOU interesting.

       Rapport and resonance.

       Talking their language.

       Initiating conversation.

       ‘No’ means move on to the next. No, next, no, next! Bingo! Yes!
