Unfortunately in today's world - flirting is given a bad wrap. We generally have a mental picture that flirting means that you are either "A tease" or a "Tart" and that flirting is only something that women do.

Well - this is so far from the truth! and together, you and I will explore this.

Please, make no mistake - men flirt just as much as women do. When men flirt the wrong way they can destroy the potential for a relationship because the message they are sending is - "I like to spread myself around and I can't be trusted" This is fine if it is true however, if it isn't -you will find yourself constantly on your own.

So how do we flirt and give the "right" impression that we are interested without giving the commonly misunderstood signs of "let's get in between those sheets baby!"

This is really import stuff because how you start the dynamics of a relationship off is how the expectations of that relationship will continue. If you are giving off sexually charged messages from the very first date - the pressure will be on to "see it through" and at a very fast pace.If this is not your intention - then you are misleading the other person and that is unfair.

So, we are going to explore just how we flirt to get the right message across and not the wrong one.
