* Smile--whether on a date or in a group of people
trying to meet somone its the single most effective tool to convey openess,
welcome, support, approval, acceptance, encouragement and to attract
the attention of others.
* Unless they have had some experience, training,
or coaching in the area most men are not good at reading the subtle
signals you send. If you smile, don't cross your arms, tilt you neck
up, toss your hair he might not notice because he has no flirting skills
and can't read signals so don't assume he not interested just because
he's flirting challenged. Speak to him first in a friendly way to get
the conversation started. Ask an opened ended question that requires
more than a yes or no answer.
* Carry a prop to help others engage you by asking
you a question. Walk the dog, carry a book--anything you have beyond
yourself lets others have more opportunity to ask you a question and
start a conversation.
* Be neat, clean, and well groomed--if you are
not neat, clean, and well groomed--what do you think your odds are of
attracting someone who is neat, clean, and well groomed.
* Touching--if you are just getting to know someone
then touches should be brief.
Women: touch a guy on the hand, arm, or shoulder.
Men: touch a lady on the back or shoulders
* Women need to take breaks from being around
other women so that men have an opportunity to approach them and be
rejected in private. Its hard enough to take private rejections, but
if you stay around other women all the evening your chances of being
approached drop considerably. Go look out the window, go look at a painting,
go to the refreshment table when someone you are interested in is there.
Asking a question about the food or just making a statement about it
to be answered can start a conversation.
* Get involved in some kind of social activity
whether an exercise group, ballroom dancing, sports, investment club--even
if you don't meet someone at the activity you will meet people who know
someone they might introduce you to.

as well and the sooner there are enough responses to make a good list
