Flirting doesn’t have to be bold, seductive, or smooth. In fact, there are at least four different styles — and most people never realize they can choose. This article introduces each style and invites you to experiment with what feels most like you.

Instead, start where you are (say, “Level 1”) and work your way up (“Level 2”, then “Level 3” and so on).

So, you read Part 1 and understand that flirting doesn’t have to be creepy or performance art. And perhaps you even challenged yourself by smiling at someone a second longer last week.

You’re on the right track!
