  Flirting is an art form that unfortunately does not come naturally to everybody. While some people flirt effortlessly and without even knowing it, others shiver at the very thought of flirting. Luckily, even if you aren't naturally flirtatious, or if your flirting comes off more creepy than cute, adopting a few universal tips can help level the field.
  
  

Exude Confidence

• Developing confidence in yourself is an essential part of flirting. If you don't believe in yourself, the person you're flirting with won't either. Exude confidence while flirting by showing respect for yourself. Focus on your positive traits, and don't be afraid to approach people you think might be out of your league. The only thing holding you back is you.
  
  

Pay Close Attention

• Pay close attention and take cues from the person you are flirting with. Don't misread being polite for flirting, and cease flirting with anyone who seems disinterested or distracted. When flirting with an interested person, subtly mimic her body language. Doing so will make her feel more connected and in tune with you.
  
  

Practice Makes Perfect

• Flirting will become second nature to you after a while. Practice flirting to keep your skills up to par and at the ready when you meet someone who interests you. Flirting can make you feel better about yourself, give you a chance to have innocent fun and get your heart beating a little faster. Enjoy!
