If you feel like your flirting game isn’t what it used to be because of wearing a face mask, dating coach Jean Smith is here to help. She’s a social and cultural anthropologist who’s literally written a book, “Flirtology,” on the subject, so she knows her stuff. Smith suggests even while wearing PPE, there are still 12 ways to flirt and they all come down to the eyes.
“It might seem frustrating that we can only see a small part of someone’s face these days, but do not be disheartened,” Smith explains. “The eyes are the most powerful source of attraction, which is why they have been the subject of numerous quotes and poems over the ages.”
The flirting expert’s tips and tricks for using your eyes to show you’re interested include:
- “Mona Lisa” - Smith says the best way to flirt with your eyes with a mask on is with a subtle smirk, like the expression from the famous painting.
- “Side glance” - This one is fun, seductive and makes it seem like you might have a secret.
- “Eyebrow raise” - The brows “work as a question mark,” as in “how you doin’?”
- “Baby doll eyes” - Flirt by making the eyes wider, like a doll.
- “Intense eyes” - Purposely locking eyes with the object of your affection.
- “Count to three” - Simply hold eye contact for three seconds, not to be confused with the more forward …
- “Three is the magic number” - For this move, look at someone three times in quick succession to make your feelings crystal clear.
- “Up and down” - Give your love interest a quick glance-over.
- “Looking away and back” - Bolder types can blatantly check out their crush by making eye contact, then turning their gaze to something else for a sec before looking back.
- “The wink” - Smith says it’s fun and flirty and definitely sends a message.
