What's the secret to flirting with ease?
"If you want to know if your flirting is successful, look for signs that the other person is also interested in you," saysfor OhMy.ca."They may mirror your body language, laugh at your jokes even when they're not particularly funny, or make prolonged eye contact. If you're not sure, just ask them! Flirting should be fun and easy, so don't be afraid to take a risk."
