Relax and Smile: Smiling is contagious, watch others smile back. Smiling is attractive and makes your whole face light up and gives others the impression you are friendly and approachable. It also shows that you like yourself and care about those around you.

Be Yourself: Everyone is individual. Don’t try to be like someone else or rely on friends to make you feel important or accepted. Believe that YOU are unique and beautiful and a very important person.

Be Approachable: Body language is a marvellous thing and can give all types of messages to those around us. You want to appear fun, relaxed and confident, not the opposite and come across as nervous, shy and uncomfortable. Relax, smile and deliver, go on you know you can do it.

Eye Contact: Direct eye contact is a powerful tool and should only be for a moment or two. Shoot your victim a quick gaze, smile with your lovely eyes and then slowly look away. Repeat often.

Be Open: Initiate conversation, be interesting, don’t do all the talking, take breaks and let someone else take a turn. Don’t be negative or say things which might put the other person off.

Have Fun: An absolute must have. Be spontaneous, bold and daring. Be a tease. Above all, don’t take yourself and others too seriously. This is your night, enjoy and be your fabulous flirty self.

Be a Good Listener: Being a good listener is a good attribute to have. Give others your complete attention. Laugh at their jokes and listen to their stories (even if they are boring). This is a fabulous way to acquire life long friends and you will be a far more interesting person if you are interested in others. WARNING Don’t become a gossip though.
