PURPLE BLAB

You may know that Friday of next week is attempt to break the world record for the largest speed dating event as we launch the new lip product, Luvah, the ultimate dating tool (it’s a cute purple compact with a lip stain and matchy gloss, laced with Dong Quai and two plumpers called “Complexx OO”).  Steve Ward, Master Matchmaker and host of VH-1’s Tough Love is hosting.

Anyway, had a little chat with Mr. Ward. (BTW, I cannot tell you how many girls who registered for the event have asked if he’s single. For the record, he’s not and his girlfriend WILL be using Luvah!)

Here are his expert dating tips and dos and don’ts.

5 Do’s in Flirting:

1. 1. Smile.  Nothing let’s a person know you’re picking up what they’re putting down better than a smile.
   1. 2. Make eye contact.  Making and maintaining eye contact shows a person you’re focused, confident and interested in what they’re saying and doing.
   2. 3. Flatter.  There’s no clearer indication that you have a romantic interest in someone then by complimenting them.

4. Take charge.  Take the conversation where you want it to go.  If you expect him to call, give him your number.  But if you want to call him, demand his.

5. Act gracefully.  If he’s unavailable or uninterested maintain your poise and just pretend you never started flirting in the first place.

 

Steve’s 5 Don’ts in Flirting:

1. Don’t make it obvious and flirt nonchalantly.  Subtle indications you’re attracted to someone are usually the most effective way of getting your point across tastefully.

2. Don’t stare.  It’s important to let the person know you’re interested in them, but it’s important not to make them uncomfortable as well.

3. Don’t overdo it.  A simple compliment will advance your efforts much farther than a fabricated pickup line.

4. Don’t flirt with others simultaneously.  It will confuse and bewilder anyone if you’re flirting with them and others at the same time.  Keep your eye on the prize.

5. Don’t feign interest.  For men flirting is often realized in hindsight.  If you flirt and feign he’ll feel you were just being nice in the first place.

 

His number 1 ”don’t” for dating?

 Don’t be negative.
