On the third day of Linxmas, my matchmaker said to me…Flirt!
Silicon Valley, the land of techies, often means over-analysis, stiff body language, talk of work 24/7, and not being in the present moment. Flirting is about leaning into a playful side and not being so overly cautious about “what to do next”, “how to act”, or “what to say.”
There is a certain “je ne sais quoi” appeal to someone who flirts. Have you ever seen a young or frankly old French couple sitting in a café over afternoon coffees or evening drinks? They are laughing, leaning into the conversation (literally and figuratively with inviting body language), there is a ‘carefreeness,’ a sensuality and, back to day one, a confidence too about not really giving a f*ck about things. They are who they are and they are proud of that, and their ability to flirt and be light like a feather is what makes this sort of person appealing. Be less robotic this holiday season and remember to have fun!
