Hello My Lovely,

Let me start by saying that I also love the letter, with the edit you settled on at the end of it. Essie's suggestions for edits are also great. The sexual one made me LOL because I told my H when we went out for our anniversary the other day I thought he was fantastic at that stuff and he was lucky he was so skilled in the art (that's a patenting joke- made sense to H and I, anyway). ;\)

OK, I think Essie's questions are really good and next time I'm going to have to read faster as otherwise I look like I don't have anything to add ( ;\) \:\) ). I do have stuff to say on the flirting front though!

1. Lock eyes with the person- really look them in the eye give them focussed attention. Hold their gaze for a moment too long then look away (down is good) and then look back up at them and smile (or, if you feel brave, lick the corner of your lips and breathe in deeply).

2. Cleavage stroking is FULL ON flirting- 'take me to bed' speak. Don't do it on strangers!

3. Stroke your hair while you're talking to the person. Do it subtley. Also, try stroking your thigh or tapping a finger gently on your lower lip with your mouth slightly open.

4. Dangle a shoe off your foot. Or sit with legs crossed and stroke one leg against the other ones' calf.

5. (And this is probably the biggest flirtation of all, although it's just charm) when you're talking to someone, really listen. focus all your attention on them and what they're saying. As they're talking, make a triangle with your eyes that rests on their eyes and every now and again on their lips. If you feel very brave, widen the triangle down to the crotch region.

If only any of this stuff would work on H, or anyone else for that matter! The trick is to practise on people- do it whenever you get the chanc, as none of this stuff will automatically mean you end up in bed with someone. it's a case of practising sending the signals in isoltion so that when you and B see each other again you can use them in combination for devastating maximum effect.

Oh, and (this is from the CEO flirtation text book), when you see B next time, if you're sitting next to each other subtley rest your thigh against his. He (if he's anything like me) won't be able to tell what this means, and you'll have the excuse of just spreading out. Hopefully B will then spend hours wondering what it all meant!
