(#1) Have A Sense Of Humor
Yes, we have a biological need for sex. But we also have a biological need to laugh, and these days, it can be tough to say which is more important or central to the survival of our species. Injecting a bit of humor into your flirtations makes you instantly more likeable, plus a good laugh can diffuse awkwardness and ratchet down any tension that might be in the air. Be careful, though, when using humor in your flirting. The wrong joke - or a joke that hurts more than it amuses, regardless of who it's about - could send the exact opposite message you were hoping to impart.

(#3) Women: Be Direct; Men: Ask Questions
Men respond when their partners or potential partners are direct and to the point. They like to hear what a partner's intentions are up front, leaving little room for ambiguity or guesswork. Alternately, women respond more to innocent questions and general conversation-starters. Oh, and those trite pickup lines? No one responds to those.

(#12) Tilt Your Head
Oftentimes, when people are interested in us, we are interested in them. Science has shown us that expressing such interest during flirting is an excellent way to open up communication and pique interest levels. On a biological level, we tend to be drawn to "classically" male and female characteristics, depending on what our sexual preferences may be. According to one study, "Women are more alluring if they angle their head forwards, so they have to look slightly upwards. In contrast, men become more masculine if they tilt their head back and look slightly down their nose."

(#7) Tease In A Playful Manner
When it comes to flirting, few people like to be toyed with or negged. Some gentle, good-natured teasing, however, is different. Used properly, a lighthearted tease can be an effective means of wooing and seduction. But remember: teasing is all about intention, and it is the intention we respond to... or don't. Make it clear you are having fun, and you want to have more fun, and don't rely on snarkiness.

(#4) Maintain Eye Contact
We are visual creatures turned on by visual stimuli. Studies have shown that locking eyes with someone for more than just a quick glance can enhance that person's appeal. When we maintain prolonged eye contact with another person, there is a level of intimacy generated that can feel remarkably familiar, comfortable, and even sensual. There are different types of eye contact, but any kind of lengthy gazing into one another's eyes can be extremely intense. It's best to employ longer periods of eye contact when you know the other person well, or you know you both have the same intentions.

(#6) Read The Signals
You will only be successful at flirting if you can read the signals of the other person. If someone is being unresponsive or giving half-there replies to your attempts to start a conversation, take the clue, be respectful, and move on. If someone is maintaining eye contact, asking questions, and leaning in, continue flirting, you flirt master! Also, if you're encountering a lot of disinterest, ask yourself if you're sending the right signals. Many times, we think we're being clear and flirty and compelling when our signals are really muddy and vague. A good flirter knows how to read the room... and themselves.
