A Date in Ten

Believe it or not, one of the girls on Saturday’s Flirting Safari ended up having coffee with a guy she’d met ten minutes earlier.

I took six apprentices (five girls & one guy) into a bookshop to coach them on chatting up strangers. One of the girls approached a guy in the thriller section and ten minutes later they were having coffee together. She ‘broke out’ after 15 minutes with a promise of another date. That’s a win!

Just shows how you could find your one anywhere. Join my Flirting Safari to learn how.

Art of Kissing

I heard on the radio that it’s National Kissing Day today.

A good snog is intoxicating. Try it with…

• eyes open.
• nibbling their bottom lip.
• flicking the tip of your tongue across their lips.
• moaning – it creates vibration in your mouths.
• kiss with white wine or champagne.

Ditch the Ipod!

We naturally isolate ourselves from people in public places; being told as children not to talk with strangers! But these days it could be having drastic affects on your love life. Recently during a Flirting Safari, one of the ladies didn’t approach a ‘gorgeous’ looking man because he was attached to his ipod – the moral of the story being that if you walk around ‘engaged’, you may be missing out!

So don’t miss your opportunity, ditch the ipod and be available, the person next to you on the bus or in the queue, could be your ideal partner.

First Date Week

Last week was “First Date Week”, when more first dates take place than in any other week of the year, following the loneliness and pain that Christmas can bring. If you found yourself without a date last week and with no prospect of one in sight, then check out my hints and tips section on www.thedatingdoctor.co.uk and book yourself into one of my fantastic seminars and get dating!

Art of Insinuation

For all those hoping for a kiss under the mistletoe, here is a wonderful Christmas gift. Buy one of those small boxes of chocolates with only two or three in it. Don’t wrap it, just hand it over to your ‘intended’ with the words “Eat these in bed tonight and think of me”.

To learn more about the art of seduction and how to use it to your advantage, come along to one of the dating Doctor’s workshops. For more details on a weekend workshop that’s just in time for Valentine’s day, visit www.thedatingdoctor.co.uk/weekend

Phone Numbers

Been thinking about the last few Flirting Safaris… the girls seems so much better at asking for phone numbers.

In London a month ago, one of the girls chatted up a guy in an outdoor shop and ended by asking for his phone number. He gave her the number and a kiss on the cheek. Lovely!!

Then on Saturday in Birmingham, a girl got the number off a guy in the music store. They’d been chatting over the DVD’s.

I suspect that the girls are less frightened by the thought of rejection, or maybe they just have more courage.

The Sexpert

I spent Monday morning in London advising a company on the art of Flirting through body language. The Company were shooting a video depicting a “boy meets girl in a bar” scenario.

The unspoken words and the little details in the sequence meant everything.

Art of Seduction

Last Tuesday night in Birmingham, 40 people gathered to practice the “Art of Seduction”.

The evening was filled with a flurry of activity and energy with the emphasis on flirting and a good number of phone numbers were exchanged in the process! Great fun was had by all.

Situational Openers

When you have a chance encounter with someone, most people don’t know how to start a conversation. In fact, the best way is to look at the situation you’re both in and make a ’sparky’ comment. Things that interest or puzzle you and are likely to interest them.

“I hate these new PIN numbers”
“That stuff looks fun, doesn’t it?”
“This looks good, have you tried the sausages?”
“Fancy only having one barman”
“We’ve been waiting ages, is this train always late?”
“You know, they never seem to put anything on special offer that I really want”
“Excuse me, but I’ve just got to say that I think you’re T-shirt is fantastic”
“Now those look fattening, but terrific!”

The trick is to not think too hard about what you’re going to say, because you’ll ‘chicken-out’. The best way is to trust your luck and just look at the situation you’re both in, turn to other person and say the first thing that comes in your head.

If you want to learn some other ways to start conversations with strangers, come along to a Flirting Safari.

As one guy said recently… Hi Peter, I came on your Flirting Safari yesterday. I like to say thank you, it is quite cool – did end up getting a number yesterday evening – from a gorgeous 27 year old girl at a station, using a situational opener, which would never have happened without the training had from you.
