The playful flirt and the successful dater are one and the same. Start with a smile, which says to someone else, "I'm friendly, I'm non-threatening and I'd like to get to know you." Next, pair your "Come hither" look with some welcoming body language. For women, that might mean the hair toss or flip, little pouted lips, leaning forward, cocking the head or open palm. For men, it's kind of playing with the hair or playing with the tie. A man also tends to use an eyebrow flash when he's attracted to a woman.

The smart flirt uses plenty of flirt props — something that gives the other party a conversation starter. That can be an umbrella that is attractive, a shopping bag, a T-shirt, a hat or an extraordinary piece of jewelry. A dog also makes a wonderful prop.
