Then he asked about what I was checking out, and it was these beautiful round beets. I proceeded to tell him how I cook them. I was nervous because he was so good looking. I then had to pack my bags and deal with payment to the cashier. But I made sure to give him a huge beaming smile and said, &#8220;Enjoy your almond milk.&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>I did the whole flirty thing, not worrying about my looks \u2013 even told him my secret recipe of adding a spoonful of coconut oil to chilled almond milk, which makes a little crunchy ice sorbet. I was being myself. You know what?\u00a0 It felt good.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Was there something I could have asked him without being weird or overbearing to continue flirting?\u00a0 I see no divine obstacle to one meeting one&#8217;s future husband in line at the supermarket.\u00a0 The thing is, what to do with it? How does one prepare for these sudden flirty moments, be open yet classy, because I was packing my groceries, averting my gaze, knowing he was looking at me, and was very nervous although it felt awesome, too.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>First, I want to acknowledge you for getting your flirt on!\u00a0 It\u2019s obvious that you were doing <i>something <\/i>to send the message that it was safe for this guy to approach and speak with you.\u00a0 I especially like how you didn\u2019t let concerns about how you looked stop you from interacting with him and flirting back!<\/p>\n<p>You smiled and chatted with him, but I hear that you feel there was something missing or something that you could have done to keep the flirt going.\u00a0 The good news is that you didn\u2019t do anything \u201cwrong.\u201d\u00a0 The <i>even better <\/i>news is that there are a few other things you can do to be \u201cflirt-ready\u201d when the opportunity to flirt with someone presents itself!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Let him see you smile.\u00a0 <\/b>Many women underestimate the magnetic power of a smile.\u00a0 There is something about a smile that, not only makes you <i>look <\/i>happy, but also translates into <i>feeling <\/i>happy.\u00a0 It also lets men know that you are someone who is \u201csafe\u201d to approach, meaning that there\u2019s a good chance they won\u2019t be rejected if they choose to come up to and speak with you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Let him know you\u2019d like to go out with him. <\/b>\u00a0Now, this does <b><i>not <\/i><\/b>mean that you ask him out on a date.\u00a0 Instead, you ask <i>him<\/i> to ask <i>you<\/i> out by showing interest in something that he mentions during conversation.\u00a0 You can also give him your number and tell him you\u2019d love to go out with him if he\u2019s interested.\u00a0 This, sends him the message that you\u2019d probably say yes, if he asked.\u00a0 It\u2019s also very different from asking him on a date, because you are leaving the actual asking for the date and the pursuing up to him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Always be \u201cflirt-ready.\u201d\u00a0 <\/b>It always makes me smile when women mention that they met a guy right after working out at the gym, at the grocery store, and in unexpected places or events.\u00a0 That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to always be flirt-ready and try to look your best.\u00a0 Am I saying that you have to look like a Stepford Wife each time you leave the house because men are only interested in your looks?\u00a0 No, but, when you look good, you <i>feel<\/i> good, and you emit radiant, feminine energy.\u00a0 And <b><i>that\u2019s <\/i><\/b>what men are attracted to.\u00a0 So, even if you\u2019re not dressed to the nines, before you leave the house check to see if you feel good about the way you look and remind yourself that this just might be \u201cthe day\u201d you meet the man of your dreams!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Being pleasantly surprised is one of my favorite aspects of dating and relationships.\u00a0 Love can enter your life when and where you least expect it.\u00a0 This is why you can never really know when you may meet the man who will eventually ask you to share your life with him.\u00a0 So, as my older son, who is a Cub Scout would say: Be prepared.\u00a0 Smile, give him your number or let him know you\u2019d like to see \u00a0him, and look and feel your very best!<\/p>\n<p>And expect the unexpected!<\/p>\n<p>Comments?
