Flirting Rules ...
Frankly speaking flirting is an art and you need special skills to master it. You do not have to be some beauty queen or a celebrity to make guys fall for you and go gaga over you. All you need is your gorgeous smile and few guaranteed flirting tips like the ones you'll find below to attract the opposite sex.
*Rule 1 # Eyes have it all -
Lock eyes with the person you're flirting with for a full five to six seconds, then smile and drop your gaze. Please don't stare at him and make him feel embarrassed. Just give him a soft smoldering look and look away. Do this at least three times in a ten to fifteen-minute period. This way you will make him know that you are interested and approachable.
*Rule 2 # Smile -
Smiling is absolutely the most effective tool in your flirting toolbox. Psychology and body language experts agree that one of the most important things you can do to make yourself more attractive (and approachable) is to smile.
*Rule 3 # Expose your neck -
One of the most winning flirting techniques a woman can use is the exposure of her neck. This can be done with a head tilt to one side, the classic hair flip or the over-the-shoulder glance. According to body language experts this asymmetrical position attracts attention, exposes your neck, and makes a woman very attractive and sexy. The over-the-shoulder move also sends a signal to your target that he is worth a second look.
*Rule 4 # Lip Service -
Both men and women are subconsciously attracted to red, moist lips because they signal youth, sex and fertility. Always wear a red lipstick which not only gives your lips that youthful colour, but also makes your smile more visible and your teeth whiter. A super-shiny lip gloss can also give you an advantage, making your lips look moist and kissable.
*Rule 5 # Focus, Focus, Focus -
Once you and your flirting target have started talking, use these tips to deepen the attraction. First, smile and maintain eye contact as you are speaking, and focus all of your attention on what he is saying. If you aren't listening then that shows that you are not interested. Smiling and laughing are crucial here - it's the quickest, easiest way to put another person at ease and make a connection. Finally, another effective flirting technique is low-level touching such as brushing the shoulder or elbow.
"We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever. Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.If you judge people, you have no time to love them". -- Mother Teresa.
For Her -Women are so much more subtle about flirting clues that men need to really pay attention. Ladies, men are not used to women flirting with them. An overwhelming majority of men said they would just love it if a woman would talk to them first or at least express a larger clue that you were interested in checking them out.
1)Repeated contact - at least three separate verbal or non-verbal clues need to be given. Why? The first time he's going to look around and make sure it's really him that you are flirting with. The second, he knows it's him and he gets flushed and pleased. (At this point he'll probably walk by you and at least smile..he's checking you out a little more.) The third time you can express interest-by introducing yourself, or commenting on his tie, or waving from across the room. Now he knows you are open to meeting and it will be a cinch.
2)Whisper - it always gets their attention. Ask them if you can tell them a secret...Then whisper in their ear: 'I just love your tie...can I buy it from you when you are done with it?'
Don't sit with other women - men don't want you to reject them in front of an audience. If you do go out with a friend...separate every so often or take a breather from talking...men do not want to risk your disapproval by interrupting you. (You have already missed out on a lot of quality polite men who didn't want to interrupt.)
3)Treat men gently - If someone you are not interested in approaches you and flirts ...be nice.... All the other men are watching to see what you do. If you laugh after he leaves or show visual disapproval, you are cutting your chances on anyone else approaching you. Try shaking his hand and saying something like: 'It was so nice of you to approach me...what's your name? Tom? Tom, I know how hard it is to meet people...I might have a girlfriend who would be interested in you.'
4)IF he acts like a Jerk - Be polite but firm. Hand him a copy of the men's version of 'Flirting with Greatness' and ask him to go practice on someone else. Firmly say that 'lines' with sexual overtones are not only not attractive to you but to most other women in the world.
6)Use the Buddy system - Walk through a group of men and have someone watch to see who's checking you out.
Become More Irresistible - Show a little leg....wear higher heels...the redder the lipstick the more available and noticeable you will be. Arch your back a little as you sit up tall and cross your legs high. Wear earrings that are interesting enough to make someone comment on them.
7)Look over your shoulder - and smile at him. This asymmetrical position is always a signal you are interested.
8)Give him a look all over from head to toe - nod with approval and then flash him your most winning smile.
Remember that flirting is a way of connecting from the heart and acknowledging someone. Be generous! Have Fun!

Fill out the basket with gear to enhance the getaway. For example, if you plan to take him to the car races, outfit him with binoculars, earplugs and a padded stadium seat. Throw in an autobiography of a leading driver and your basket is good to go. If possible book into an inn or motel with an appropriate theme for total immersion. His appreciation for a weekend custom-tailored to his desires will spark maximum romance once the sun goes down.
2) A loaf of bread, a bottle of wine and thou basket
Give your lover all of the makings of a romantic picnic that can be enjoyed indoors or out. A bottle of good wine anchors the basket and accompanies a loaf of crusty French bread and some exotic but mild cheese. Don’t forget to include your invitation to share the picnic in the moonlight or candlelight.
3) Aphrodisiac food lover basket
What could be more romantic for a gourmet than a basket filled with aphrodisiac delicacies? Choose foods shown to enhance feelings of love and romance and then sit back and enjoy your man’s responses. Some aphrodisiac foods to consider including are oysters, truffles or truffle oil, the spice ginseng and caviar. If these are too exotic for your honey’s tastes, fall back on the traditional foods of love: chocolate, bananas and champagne.
4) Music feeds the soul basket
For a musical basket sure to spark romance, put together a collection of favorite CDs. Make a mix CD that alternates your favorites with his or fill the collection with classic love ballads. Going all out? Make an MP3 player the center of your gift and surround it with accessories and gift certificates for song downloads.
5) Movie lover’s basket
Plan a romantic night in with a basket sure to please the movie lover in your life. Tuck several of his favorite DVDs in with some popcorn and classic snacks. Add a plush lap blanket for snuggle appeal. Even his favorite action movie or zombie thriller can be romantic when the two of you are cuddled under a throw with the lights dimmed.
6) The Key to your Heart basket
Ready to offer your love the key to your place as well as your heart? Don’t just hand him a hardware store key ring – design a gift basket to let him know how special he is to you. Place the key on an attractive key ring. Add some basics he’ll need for sleepovers at your place; things like a toothbrush, his preferred bar soap and a comfortable robe so he doesn’t have to lounge around in your pink shorty robe are all considerate gifts. Throw in some of his chosen beer brand and chips for his snacking comfort and you will clinch the deal.

10 Surprise Your Love will Adore
Whether your budget is small or even practically non-existent, you can give the special lady in your life romantic and meaningful gifts that she will always treasure and remember. Some will cost very little, and some are completely free. Here are ten gifts that most women will always enjoy receiving.
The first thing that is important to remember is that it doesn't need to be Valentine's Day or her birthday to give a gift and let her know that you care. Any day of the year can be turned into a day to give a loving gift.
1)One gift that will not have a price tag attached, but will be highly appreciated is the gift of time. Give her an entire day of your time and ask what she would like to do with that time. It may be hiking or going to the beach, but you may find out that the way she would best enjoy spending that gift of time is to just spend the day together at home getting to know you better.
2)When planning that surprise for her, do not overlook the old "romantic standbys" of candy and flowers, but instead of waiting for an anniversary or birthday, just do it because you think she's special (and tell her that!) If the budget will not allow roses, any florist will have other kinds of arrangements that will cost much less, so you may want to look into other options instead of the more traditional "dozen roses."
3)Is she fun-loving? If your lady enjoys games and laughs, try setting up a treasure hunt for her. Give her the first clue that you have written on a slip of paper, and have her follow the clues you creatively give to get to the next clue, until she eventually finds her gift. Don't have the clues going on for too very long, however, because even the most fun kinds of games can get tiring if they drag on for too long.
4)If children are involved in your relationship, one of the nicest gifts to give her is some private time while you take over watching the kids. This one may not sound like a romantic gift at first, but you can make sure to plan it so that it turns out that way. For instance, what if her private time involves an hour of soaking in a bubble bath that you have drawn for her at just the right temperature? Add a few scented candles to the room. Add a boom box (battery operated, please, because of the hazard risk of electricity and water) playing her favorite, or perhaps a brand new CD, or a new book of poetry if she enjoys reading. You might even choose to go as far as sprinkling some rose petals into the water. It goes without saying to make sure the children use the bathroom (if there is only one) before her bubble soak starts so that she will not be disturbed.
5)Many men, unfortunately, will refuse to do something that a lot of women think is very romantic, and that is writing a love poem for her. It doesn't need to be William Shakespeare and it doesn't even need to rhyme for it to be something that she will always treasure. Just write down thoughts from your heart concerning how you feel about her and try to fit them into poetry form and you have a priceless gift for her. Use nice stationary and present the poem or written thoughts to her with a little teddy bear holding the paper.
6)Another idea for a day of pampering is to plan for her to spend some time at a spa or beauty salon where she may not generally feel comfortable about spending the money to visit. Make sure she gets as much of "the works" as you can afford, including things like a manicure if she would enjoy it.
7)Choose a Saturday or Sunday and spoil your lady for the day. Arrange so that she will not need to worry about chores like cooking or cleaning. If the budget allows, call out for food or have a maid service come in for just this one time. If food delivery or a maid service for the day is too extravagant for the wallet, consider cooking a meal for her yourself or even dusting and running the vacuum. If this surprise is one you choose, don't forget to add the dish washing to the gift!
8)Tell her how you feel about her. That means true feelings. If she has made a huge difference in your life in some particular way, tell her that. If she is the first thought on your mind in the morning and the last thought before you drift off to sleep at night, she would absolutely love to hear that. It is important to say those three little words of "I love you" often, but sometimes it's nice to explain some of the reasons why you love her.
9)Rent a few movies that you know she would like and don't forget the popcorn and soda for your "theater evening." The thing that would make this a true gift for her is to let her choose the movies. Take the time to watch them with her, even if you would normally consider them "chick flicks." Let her get emotional and share that with you.
10)Last but certainly not least, and if the budget allows, arrange a weekend getaway for the two of you. Make all the plans, secure the reservations, and be sure to keep the destination a secret. Whether it's a short plane flight to your location, or a short or longer drive, she will find out the mystery destination when you arrive. Be practical, however, in letting her know if she will need any particular items of clothing for possible weather changes so that she will be able to pack properly. Even a trip to the mountains in the summertime might be a reason to tell her to throw a sweater in her suitcase. Know ahead of time which restaurants are in the area and choose your dining spots. She will have nothing to do except to enjoy the mystery weekend.
Remember that often the best gifts that mean the most are those that do not involve superficial things, or the spending of any money at all. Try to think of some meaningful "time" gifts to give her and your surprise will most likely be a huge hit.
