    Title: "The Science of Romance: Why We Flirt"
    By: Belinda Luscombe

    Summary: This article talks about what types of people flirt and why they flirt. According to this article mainly singles and married people engage in flirting. Flirting can occur unintentionally because of biological reasons, culture, or because it is a comfortable way to interact socially. Flirting can also be intentional and this is usually noticeable when flirting transitions from body language to verbal actions. However, what sets committed people apart from singles is that committed people flirt out of curiosity and a way to make them feel more alive without hurting the happiness of anyone they love.

    Author: Monica T. Whitty

    Summary: This articles examines two things: online vs traditional flirty and the gender differences within these spaces. Since the start of the 21st century, flirting has taken a new route through the internet via chatrooms and online dating sites. Now, men and women are able to flirt online through forms of acronyms, emoticons, speech/laughter, and through the description of the text. Whitty argues that although the way we flirt have changed, gender role have not. Both in the past and recently, men seek physical attractiveness and women seek financial security online and offline.

  18. Whatever you do, don't interrupt unless it's to ask questions or ask him to explain further. If you want to know how to impress a guy in conversations, then learn to wait for your turn. Even if you have a great story to tell, keep it for now. You'll get your chance later.
