Subtly flipping long hair out of your face or behind your shoulder is a classic flirtatious move. Place your hand underneath your hair, and quickly flip it behind you. Try not to be too obvious with your hair flip so this can seem effortless and irresistible. To seem fun and flirty to your crush, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself first. They may think your confidence is sexy, and your initiative will likely intrigue them. Do this if you are at a concert, bar, or social event and find someone you want to get to know better. While chatting with a hottie, tell them things like, “Your outfit looks awesome,” or “Your hair color is gorgeous,” to boost their confidence. Throwing out compliments can seem flirty and fun, and you may seem more approachable and confident.  For example, if you are on a coffee date, say something like, “I really like spending time with you. We should do this more often.” Compliment their physical appearance, intelligence, or personality traits, for instance. An easy way to come across confident is to incorporate flirtatious touching. Simply tap your crush on the arm, touch their shoulder gently, or stroke their hand in passing. This shows them you are into them without being too direct. For example, if you are chatting at school or at work, you can gently touch their arm as you say goodbye. Spontaneity can be fun and exciting, and they’ll likely think you’re up for anything! For instance, shoot your crush a text saying something like, “I really want some Chinese food! Want to go grab lunch?”  If you recently went on a first date, text your date and say something like, “Hey, I really enjoyed our date last week. What are you up to tonight?” If you’re in a relationship, you can text your partner while at work and say, “I booked us a romantic weekend getaway. It’s a surprise but pack a backpack and come over after work!” There’s nothing more fun and flirty than a little innocent teasing. To do this, get creative and improvise depending on the situation. You can wink at your crush as they walk past you, send a suggestive text message, or joke around when chatting.  For example, mimic or mock something they say in a harmless way. You can make fun of their accent or repeat their words back to them. Give your crush a silly nickname and call them by it regularly. For example, you can say something like, “Since you laugh all the time, I’m calling you Giggles.” To seem fun and flirty, it's helpful to keep up with cool events and new businesses popping up in your area. This way, you'll always have a fun event coming up to look forward to. Ask your crush to hit the new Spanish restaurant that just opened up downtown for a new, interesting date idea.  To find events in your area, read the newspaper, check online, or review social media events. For example, you can go to a concert on a Friday night, go to a Saturday farmer's market or craft show, or hit a gallery opening.

You should observe the culture of your current workplace. If it is a large company with many employees, hugging may be relatively rare. In contrast, if it is a small organization with many female employees, there may be relatively more hugging. See what your colleagues are doing and try to fit in. If a colleague or friend has just received great news such as a winning scholarship or winning the lottery, it could be appropriate to give them a hug. If you are close with them and it looks like they want to share the joy of their news, consider giving them a hug. If someone at work just received some very bad news such as a death in the family or serious financial loss, you could offer a hug. See if they need a hug. You could say: “I'm so sorry to hear the news. Do you need a hug?” You should generally follow a cautious approach with workplace hugs, especially if there is any sexual tension or if there are large power differences at play. If you are not sure whether to hug someone in a particular situation, it is safest not to hug. Generally, it is best to avoid hugging the opposite sex at work. However, if you have formed a professional relationship with a colleague and there is no risk of them confusing the intention of the hug, it can be fine to hug a colleague of the opposite sex.
