Jean Smith is a cultural anthropologist who has devoted her life to de-coding the art of flirting.

Want to know how to use your feet for greatest flirting effect? What to do with the eyes? One blink means I like you, two, you’ve pulled! Or the best approaches to ensure instant success?
How to snag a date in…
New York
- Act confident: Here, the weak get crushed
- Don’t waste your time on one person; someone better could be just around the corner
- If he doesn’t come over to you, than you go to him!
- Use your sexuality. Guys here like the illusion of sex (and sex)
- Don’t let your fear of rejection stop you. Here, it’s par for the flirting course.
Paris
- Don’t let him know that you like him. She who shows genuine interest, loses.
- Show off your intellect with high brow conversations and heated debates
- Look coy, mysterious, and aloof. No one likes it to come easy here.
- If you see someone you like, look just a little, lest he will think you are easy.
- Dress like Bridget Bardot, skirts, heels, but keep your skin covered.
London
- Use your witty banter and charm, no ‘serious topics’ for these cheeky chappies
- These men love cleavage. Give them what they want!
- Do approach these shy beasts, they like it! However, do it subtly, or you will get the ‘deer in the headlights’ look.
- Don’t waste time with ‘polite flirting’ if you don’t like him. Make your graceful exit with a smile, and move on.
- Give him more obvious signals of interest. They need all the help they can get.
Stockholm
- Look first from afar, using eye contact
- Choose someone you want, and walk up to him
- Make sure you choose wisely though, because you only get one chance. The guys here want to be your first and only pick.
- Drink lots, if you want to blend in.
- Do you want sex? Have sex! There’s no stigma here. He’ll probably make you breakfast too.
