Body-Licious

Does your body language and make up scream ‘Get lost jerk’, or does it croon ‘Come hither baby’?
/photo.cms?msid=27045971 Okay — you’ve heard this one before — usually in relation with going for a job interview... Your body gives you away. Here’s how to get your body language perfected, so that Mr Nice Guy doesn’t think he’s flunked out with you! Broadly, there are a few points you should keep in mind, and use when the opportune moment presents itself.
A casual touch — we don’t mean grab him and pull him into a dark corner and have your way with him. A light touch as he helps you into your chair, or into the car...
Leaning forward signifies that you’re interested in what he’s saying. Just make sure you actually ARE interested... God forbid you do it when he’s telling you how he cleaned his car that morning .
Crossing your legs in a skirt: (Please practise in front of a full- length mirror before you try this in public) This attracts his attention to your legs (hopefully toned and slim!). And if you’re in strappy sandals, even better. If you have your moves right, by the end of the evening, he’ll have a leg and foot fetish!
Flutter those lashes baby... Masacara is a girl’s best friend. Be lavish, and flutter away... but don’t overdo it either... he should be able to gaze into your eyes without eye strain from all the fluttering.

/photo.cms?msid=27045992 Pouting princess: Lip gloss — used well — gives your lips a pout and a sexy shine — ultra-kissable.
Licking your lips: Running your tongue lightly over your lips is a very flirty sign — it signals that you find him ‘yummy’... then again, it could be the salt from the maragarita!
Holding hands while you walk: Don’t reach for his hand as soon as you start walking. Wait till the conversation turns to a slightly intimate topic. Then slip your hand into his for a split second. If his fingers tighten around yours instantly, you know you’ve got something going.
Playing with your hair — like twirling a strand gently around your fingers will draw his attention to your luscious locks and make him wonder what it would be like to run his fingers through your hair!
Make sure that you have recently washed your hair, and that it isn’t chock-a-block with gel or stiff with styling spray! Also, there is a difference between a bit of hairplay, and self-conscious fidgeting with your hair.
Smile! This is the ultimate man slayer. A dazzling 100-watt smile will let him know he’s being witty, that you think he’s nice and that you’re happy to be with him. It could also mean that his fly is unzipped...

Says Counsellor Sushma Sharma, “Body language moves like these very clealy state that you are interested in the person; that you want to explore the chemistry between the two of you.”
COMMON SCENARIOS

Scene 1: On a barstool Rule: If you’re in a skirt, make sure your legs are elegantly crossed!

Now, assuming the guy is cool, and he revvs your engines, you want to come across as being interested, and a bit flirty. The way you sit will make all the difference. Casually lean at an angle against the bar.
Tilt your face upwards which, with his height advantage (we assume he’s not one of the Seven Dwarfs), resembles a pose of admiration. Even if you are at a place where the bartender knows what you drink (and how much!), let him do the ordering.
The advantage of this setting: When the music gets too loud, deliberately speak in a slightly lower tone (he needn’t know that when you raise your voice, they can hear you in the high Himalayas!). Since he won’t be able to hear, he’ll lean forward, for you to whisper in his ear. At that stage, you could be telling him that the price of fish has gone up, but the intimacy of having you whisper in his ear will get his pulse pounding!
Do not: Lean forward too far to show your interest: ‘Woman loses balance, falls off bar-stool’ is not the headline you want to leave him with.
