Forget cheesy pick-up lines, laughter, flipping your hair. The best kind of flirting is the kind that’s infused with your signature style. For example, when I’m really trying to impress a guy, I bust out my dorky dance moves like “the run for the border,” “the pony trot,” or the “Richard Simmons.” I also do impressions: my high school Latin teacher, my aerobics instructor from New Jersey, and Miss Teenage America, circa 1991. The way I look at it, if I do these things and he doesn’t laugh, he’s not the man for me.

After the jump, some more Frisky staffers’ unique flirting techniques. You heard it here first. Share yours in the comments.
Amelia—“The Horse-foot”: I saw a hot guy at a bar the other night and decided to put my leg out like a horse to stop him when he was coming back from the bathroom. Remarkably … it worked! Also, I tell dirty jokes.

—“The Rubik’s Rube”: I always find myself nerding out with guys. The fact that I can finish a Rubik’s Cube in two minutes helps with that. Not that I would ever demonstrate at a bar. It just gives me good nerd cred. Also, I had a friend who had the best flirting technique ever: wear a Metallica shirt. Seriously, every guy you see will start talking to you. It’s like the guy I saw wearing a “Beverly Hills, 90210” shirt at a bar the other night. I was far from the only girl to want to discuss the show with him.
Julie—The “Oh Good! You Haven’t Left!”: I used to have this trick where I would walk up to a dude sort of urgently and say, “Oh good, you haven’t left yet!” and then he’d ask, “Why?” and I’d say, “Because I wanted to say hello.” THE END. Worked every frigging time.

Jessica—“The Journalist”: I used to flirt with guys as a party reporter by interviewing them. It was an excuse to talk to them, so why not? That’s how I picked up the cute British guy at a burlesque show.
Wendy—“The Wave”: When I was single, my favorite flirting technique was a wave. It always worked and it was something I didn’t see many other women doing. A simple wave, ladies — it works wonders! I also volunteer to read people’s palms. You don’t really have to know what you’re doing. People love talking about themselves, and reading their palms gives you an excuse to get close, touch them, and find out a little more about them. Always a fun way to break the ice at a party or whatever.
