Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Light-hearted -- just like flirting!
Review: I bought this book over a decade ago and still refer to it on occasion! It's part how-to book and part just fun (lists of top flirts through the ages, etc.) It gets you over the hump and helps you believe that you, too, can flirt.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't buy this book.
Review: I bought this book thinking there might be something resembling a definition of flirting. There was, but it was in one of the latter chapters. The whole book was nothing more than a series of rambling antidotes about people who were successful at flirting. None of these stories ever really delved into the technique behind it. It reminded me of reading Amway literature; or better yet, stereo/playground equipment assembly instructions.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book on flirting!
Review: I bought this book, along with many others, because I wanted to improve my game. And I can really say this book helped me out. I feel so much more comfortable around women - flirting w/ them & reading their body language! It's great! I highly recommend this book, along w/ Make Every Girl Want You - how to have sex with hot girls without even dating them, & How to Succeed with Women. Good luck to ya!

Summary: Learning to Flirt is as Easy as 1-2-3
Review: If you're single, you probably know you need to date if you want to get married. But there's a lesser-known fact that's just as important. As a dating expert and author myself, I know this to be one of the universal truths of our time-you need to flirt if you want to have dates! As the book says, some people are born with it, but most people need to learn it. If you think that learning how to flirt is going to be work, you're probably right. But it's not the drudgerous 4-letter kind of work you're used to ... it's fun work. How is that possible? Just jump into Joyce Jillson's book and you'll soon find out.

An early chapter describes Flirtophobia (aka the fear of flirting). Most people who are not natural flirts will fall into this category. She then takes you completely through the A to Z's of flirting, from using flattery as a flirtatious device to the Flirter's Code of Ethics. She even describes the most flirtatious drinks! The sometimes comical illustrations keep this book in perspective, as flirting and comedy should both be light and fun.

The only part of this book that shows is age is the chapter on how to flirt at (the now-defunct) salad bars and at jazzercise classes. If you're under 18, never fear. Yoga has replaced jazzercise, and salad bars may once again come into vogue. But thankfully, flirting will never go out of style.

Bottom line-a chance meeting will only become a "close encounter" if you brush up on your flirting skills, and this is an easy-to-read manual to get you started.

Summary: An Utter Waste of Money and Time
Review: My husband, who is a fairly reserved person bought this book to help him learn to flirt with me (you know, keep the flame alive). A very nice gesture, but he struggled through the entire book, reading passages to me as he went.

First of all the book was written in the 1980's and is quite dated. One of the passages says that men can't go wrong wearing light grey slacks with a navy blue blazer with brass buttons. Well in 1984 that might have been true, but today that looks like a mall security guard uniform.

Although there are tips for men, the book is written mainly for shy, unflirtatious women. Not much help for dear hubby.

Some of the suggestions are downright corny. One of the last things my husband read from the book was that flirts are wavers. They wave from a car at everyone. As my husband said, "that's not flirting, that psychotic."

Some of the suggestions were things you should know if you are intelligent enough to read the book in the first place, such as when not to flirt: "when you are sick, when you are with your children, when you are on the witness stand."

Skip the book. If you really want to learn to flirt, you'd do better going to your local bar. At least you'd observe today's flirting behaviors.

Summary: the fine art of socializing
Review: Nothing new here. This book delineates the fun side of enjoying the company of whoever crossses your path. It explains what Southerners call Visiting. Explains that interacting with others is affirming. Flirting is really just not being afraid to talk to people and to enjoy life.
