Flirting is now an everyday occurrence, we use it even without knowing.
Good, confident flirting can be a fantastic social skill to have - in work or play - and everyone can harness the skill!

With today's technology you can flirt all day wherever you are. Texting has revolutionised the way we flirt but we still need that extra confidence boost when it comes to face to face flirting. So Impulse, the UK's favourite body fragrance brand, has joined forces with teasing and flirting expert Elizabeth Clarke to create some fantastic flirt tips to get us all in a flirty mood!

The great news is that anyone can flirt, we all do it instinctively anyway - whether you realise it or not. Friendly chats with someone you fancy could be innocent but you're probably both flirting away like crazy.

Believe it or not, we are all born with the instinct to flirt, as it is our natural mechanism designed to help us meet people - with the aid of the tips below you can develop your own 'flirt style'. Make it part of your everyday routine as flirting connects people which in turn is the ultimate confidence booster.

General Flirting

1) The key to being a top flirt is looking and feeling confident about yourself. An instant confidence booster is to walk high and tall. Make sure your back is straight, chest out and head up.

2) Many people have a secret confidence tool kit which they dip into when and if they need a boost. For every one it's different - for some it's their favourite heels, for others it's fragrance...Think about what's in yours and use it!

3) Keep relaxed - don't try too hard. People will pick up on the desperate vibe.

4) Always remember to use the name of the person you're talking to and try to repeat it back to them, this will make them feel secure and wanted!

Phone flirting

No expert phone flirts speak in a monotone voice, studies have shown that tone, volume, speed and pitch of voice are just as important as what you say.
Always be lively, bubbly and yourself.

1) Always remember to smile, it'll put you in an instant flirty chatty mood, if you're tired and grumpy you'll get nowhere.

2) Don't be too worried about what you say - it's how you say it that counts. Start on a simple "how's things?". Use lots of open-ended questions to keep the conversation flowing and avoid those excruciating silences.

3) Always have a 'reserve' conversation up your sleeve - in the event of awkward silences.

4) You have two ears and one mouth because you should listen twice as much as you speak! Your flirting partner will be drawn to you if you're interested so don't interrupt him and just absorb!

Face to face flirting

This is the ultimate flirting challenge and requires skill, confidence and courage to seal the deal. But don't worry - follow these tips and you'll find it easy.

1) Always smile when you are flirting and chatting. A smile lights up your face and draws people to you. Successful flirting involves staring into someone's eyes for a bit longer than would ordinary feel comfortable.

2) The rule of personal space is to keep 12 inches away - teasing and flirting's aim is to break into that personal space e.g. dancing or squeezing past someone is a perfect way of doing this.

3) If you meet someone's eye across a room you like the look of - hold eye contact for a little longer than usual. Hold their gaze, drop your eyes then look back, if they're still looking give them a friendly smile. If they smile back - you're well on the way.

4) Its not just guys who should pay the compliments, get in the flirting driving seat by saying "great hair" or "nice shirt". Remember if he pays you a compliment back, don't dismiss it, always accept it with a gracious 'thank you'.

And don't forget...All teasing and flirting is fun, don't worry about it, just follow your instincts and let it come naturally!
