• Flirting is healthy. Studies reveal that those who entice have higher white blood-cell counts, which improves immunity and health.
• Think a coy smile and a bat of the lashes is enough? Scientists say there are at least 52 signals used. The hair-flip is the most common.
• Flirting is illegal in some places. In San Antonio, TX, it is illegal for a man or a woman to flirt with their hands or eyes. Men may be fined $25 in New York City for lustful gazes that fall upon a female.
• Why wait for the party? Think of your morning commute as an opportunity. 62% of drivers have flirted with other drivers, and 31% of those resulted in a date.
• Flirting need not to occur in person. Several surveys and polls suggest that people can easily put on the charm via e-mail.
• Fans were the most significant prop in the Victorian era. Placed on the heart meant 'You have won my love'. Half-opened and pressed to the lips was an invitation for a kiss. Eyes hiding behind a fan meant 'I love you', whereas opening and closing the fan several times was a reprimand, 'You are cruel'.
• Eye contact can be tricky. Take from The Three Bears: the most common mistake people make is maintaining too much eye contact; too little is also not recommended. Just the right amount will be just perfect.
• Mixed Signals. According to research, men tend to frequently mistake friendly behavior for coy repartee.
