Flirting

Softly look into your partner's eyes for few moments. Keeping your attention on your date's eyes will show you are interested in them. But don't stare!

Your eyes say a lot about your personality. Shy people usually avoid looking into your eyes and so do guilty people. So if you can start to look people in the eye and shake off any shyness you will become more confident.

Developing confidence

Handy tip 1: Practice approaching the opposite sex.
Make it a goal to say hello to several women (or men if you are female) every day. These could be people you pass by in shops or at work. These must be people you don't know.

Handy tip 2: Practise complimenting the opposite sex.
If you have become confident at saying "hi!" to several people each day try to move on to making appropriate compliments to them. If you are going to do this to people you know make sure you really mean it and also don't do this too often if this isn't what you are usually like. Appropriate compliments should be about things that the other person has some control over, such as their hair or clothing. This means that they know you appreciate the effort they have gone to to look good.
