Make consistent eye contact with the guy you like at work, accompanied with a smile and a subtle nod.

It has to be consistent.

Doing it intermittently or every now and then, doesn’t send him the message that you are flirting with him.

A guy at work is going to be especially cautious about making an assumption that a girl at work is flirting with him.

Obviously, there is the fear that in acting on this assumption in flirting back and approaching her, he learns that she was simply being polite and nothing more, which then exposes him to the risk of breaching office conduct and getting himself fired.

So, you can’t send inconsistent flirtatious signals his way.

The eye contact, smile and subtle nod needs to be consistent for him to get it.

This is what emboldens him to flirt back.

Touch is another powerful tool of flirtation that can be applied at work in subtle ways.

When you two are close and you are handing over something to him, take a moment to linger.

Instead of merely handing the document or item to him and leaving, flirt with him through touch.

As you hand over the document or item and he puts it away with a thank you, look out for what he has on him.

A watch, bracelet, ring, etc.

Take that moment to reach out and gently hold his hand as you admire it and say a phrase in regards to it.

“That is a lovely watch.”

This is a twofer.

Not only are you creating a deeper connection with him through touching his hand, you are boosting his ego through giving him a compliment.

Combining touching with a compliment sends his brainwaves on overdrive.

It’s flirting, but it’s subtle and respectful.

Now you have him giddy.

As giddy as a little dog released from his kennel.

Who knows how good or bad of a day he was having until you did this?

You probably just made his day.

Don’t overstay your welcome though.

Release his hand after a few seconds, give him a smile and walk away.

This flirtatious technique is designed to leave a lasting impression on him, compelling him to watch you walk away a little bit longer than he is supposed to.

He is distracted as he watches you leave.

He has temporarily forgotten what he was working on before you arrived and handed him the document or item.

This is where you want his mind to be.

Distracted.

Elated.

Bedeviled.

Curious.

Hungry to know more about the woman who just made his day.

This motivates him to be near your presence as often as he can afford to without looking suspicious.

He walks past your workstation or office a few too many times, when he could have taken a much quicker route to the bathroom, breakroom, storage room, etc.

Once you are certain he is doing this, use a handy accessory or item nearby as a tool to flirt with him.

As he is walking by, pull out some lip balm and apply it to your lips.

Smear them together and briefly look up at him as you do, before returning your attention to the work you were doing.

This is yet another subtle display of flirtation that sends his mind into a tailspin.

Handy accessories or items like lip balm, breath mints and chewing gum are extremely effective.

Putting them to mouth and glancing at him as he walks by is unconsciously suggestive and speeds up his heartrate with the kind of excitement that has him thinking about you long after the work day is over.
