One question I hear all the time is, “how do I flirt?” Believe it or not, there’s an answer to that question.

Monica Moore, a psychologist at Webster University,  studied hour after hour of men and women flirting, carefully cataloging, at each instant, which glance or gesture seemed to have the greatest impact. Along the way she found an assortment of giggles, skirt hikes, hair flips, head nods, and even lip licks, but one move , more than any other, successfully attracted men again and again: A smile with a direct gaze. Just to prove how clueless we guys are, it turns out once is not nearly enough.
