"Hey, How you doin? ;)"

Level 1 (Amateurs) :
"Hmm...its so boring just staring at the walls..."

Level 2 (Mildly experienced):
"So, what you doing tomorrow evening?"

Level 3 (Experts):
"Mind grabbing a cup of coffee?"

It's just about how expressive (and impressive :) ) you are! It's like throwing a ball at the wall...it's definitely going to come back - whether deflated or in-shape is the question!

Arite arite! What am I getting to?? I'm talking about the conversations between guys and girls. If you think about it, most of the conversations have their share of flirtatious exchanges! The guy tries to be impressive, just to make the gal comfortable and make her laugh and smile. The girl tries to return the gesture, and invariably tries to play the "hard-to-get" game...lolz.

After all, flirting is H.E.A.L.T.H.Y! Yes, that's cos we are animals too, and its only natural that we attract (and tend to get attracted to) the opposite sex.

I've seen people say that flirting turns them off, and that its cheap et al. Oh, pullleeeeeaaassssee!! Gimme a break! You can play the "Nice gal/guy" game. But, for how long?? Somethings are in-built - programmed as my friend Sriram might put it. And getting attracted to the opposite sex, is one of those instincts thats just coded. PERIOD!

Is it Love?
When you get too close to a gal (and you are single, of course :D), its only a matter of time before you start to feel if its "love". You then tend to get all wierd thoughts, and start playing mind-games. Though hints and suggestive talks help, it's always best to speak out! So, what if the girl/guy doesnt feel the same way? That's not the end of the world! (Too philosophical, I know :D) At least (s)he knows you are being frank.

I know most of you wont agree with me. But if you just think about it, playing mind-games can be the worst thing to happen to you - sleepless nights, endless vetti conversations with your friends about this, hours of thinking about 'wat to do next' etc.

However much technology has improved, there are not many ways to find out if its actually love and if the love is mutual or single-sided n stuff. There are just 2 ways to find out: 1.Speaking out and being frank 2.Giving hints and suggestions and looking at the response!

So, just be brave and choose your path people. Just remember the one thing, "Flirting is NOT a crime. It's a necessity" :) So, to all the gals reading this, "Hey! How you doin??" ;)

Cheers...
