The Flirt Season has Begun!

At the pool, in a café, on holiday… Summer is the ideal season for flirting!  Sometimes it takes only a moment from the first eye contact until you feel butterflies.  Whether or not sparks fly between two people largely depends on the first seconds of meeting.  During these moments, either everything fits or nothing at all.  Regardless, the sun, beach, and relaxation have evidently a positive effect upon our own personal flirt mood. 

Once the suitcase rolls down the claim belt and your taxi drops you off at the hotel, the only things left for you to do are sunbathing and sightseeing.  But surely you also have time for the occasional flirt on your itinerary—whether with your waiter, holiday-rep or ice cream vendor.  But where and with whom these moves are appropriate often depends upon the local culture.  Our small flirt typology will help you to behave the right way, both at the right time and, most importantly, in the right place!

The Ultimate Flirt Spots

When it comes to flirting, some places in the world are proven to be more fun than others.  Most are holiday destinations, where it is easily to people watch in a relaxed atmosphere.  There is also an electric tension the air, which seems to affect all who sense it.  Here we have chosen six holiday destinations that are known for their great flirt atmosphere:

St. Tropez, Côte D´Azur

Pretty, rich, sophisticated : Here the moneyed American and British jet set mingle with French beach boys and girls.  Those who prefer flirting in style are in the right place.  The best places to flirt are the famous beach clubs.  Highly recommended, for example, is Nikki Beach (Plage de Pampelonne, Route de Epi, 83350 Ramatuelle). 

Torbole, Lake Garda

Surfing and people watching: Lake Garda is the second home of sexy beach beauties from Munich and southern Germany.  In addition to surfing, there are lots of worthy alternatives to spending your time, whether rock climbing, biking, water skiing.  As soon as the first surfers and yachtsmen return in the early evening hours, the bars begin to come alive.  Our tip for night owls: the Conca d’Oro in Torbole, which features house music on Saturdays.  On Sundays, the atmosphere is more relaxed, where bronzed revellers chill out to Latin and Brazilian beats.

Mykonos

Flirty heterosexuals are increasingly discovering this once classic gay paradise of the Aegean.  The area around the upscale Matoyanni Street in the town of Mykonos is worth exploring after midnight—e.g. at “Caprice”.  Later, revellers move to the Scandinavian Bar, where drinking and striking up conversation are the most important activities.  During the day, the beaches Super Paradise and adjacent Paradise are good spots for some casual flirting.

Copenhagen

Bright, charming and lively—this sums up Copenhagen in the summer.  During the last World Cup, the Danes proved themselves to be a population that likes to celebrate.  Because they are proud of their capital, they are also happy to dispense a few tips to visitors.  During the day and at night, the neighbourhoods of Vesterbro, Nørrebro and Christiania are the places to be.  Flirtatious types cavort in Café Norden or Café Dan Térell.

Lisbon

During the day, one sees clotheslines fluttering, but at night is when the Bairro Alto district shows its true colours.  It is enough to grab a super bock from one of the many bars and then lean casually on the wall outside—flirting will automatically take place!  Although the Portuguese are more reserved, there are plenty of tourists buzzing about.  After three in the morning, people swing their hips to breezy Latin pop in Lux on the docks.

KaZantip republic, Black Sea

Ibiza was so yesterday.  Now this “virtual republic” is the holiday destination as well as biggest festival of electronic music in the Ukraine.  It is a sort of Russian Woodstock, where 50,000-100,000 revellers and young flirt types come together yearly in July and August.  This ‘republic’ was founded in 1992 and even has its own constitution.

Other Countries, Other Rules

A holiday flirt in a summer paradise is something special—but in order to ensure that your experience is entirely positive, check out these following country-specific rules.  After all, every country boasts its own flirt culture:  

Italy – Women who demonstrate they are easy to snap up leave Italian men rather cold.  Here, the “two-by-two” rule applies.  This means: only two dates per week for two months.  Then you can be sure that he is serious.

France – The French love self-assured women.  Once they show French men that they are self-confident and know what they want, they will quickly capture their hearts.

Spain – Men from the Iberian peninsula are very ambitious when it comes to flirting.  Be aware that a clearly spoken “no” may at times be interpreted by a Spanish man as a “yes”.

Greece – If you drink from his ouzo or other drink, this indicates a clear advance to a Greek man.  The Greek love symbols; therefore, be aware of their potential implications!

England – Britons love everything that “true” men love: football, their mates and a lot of naked skin.”  Those who can keep up with the bawdy British humour and may even have a few words to say about football will find good flirting partners among British men.

What Women Want    

It is clear that women want well-groomed men who get obtain their look from the rummage sale and are also presentable in the light of day.  Perhaps men will increase their chances with the new wax and gel from got2b.  “Magnetik” products are infused with pheromones, which are known to positively influence the psychology of attraction.  Combine that with superior texture, hold, and polish, and you’ll be irresistible.  Find out how much females love good chemistry!

4 Sure Fire Ways to Get Rid of your Flirt

You have hopelessly fallen head over heels and have only just discovered: The guy who you found at first incredibly sexy has turned out to be a lout lacking any intellect and manners.  What to do to, then, to get rid of him in the quickest way possible?  We have come up with four (not entirely serious) steps for heading off disaster before your flirting really gets going. 

Gift of the gab – Whatever you do, don’t stop talking.  Heap your ex with praise—explain that if was only by fluke that you called it quits.

The whole kit and caboodle – Talk about family planning, kids, security and marriage.  On one of your first dates, these words will have the effect of a cold shower on your hot blooded admirer. 

Last call – Put on a show. Get a bit “tipsy” in his presence and lose your inhibitions.  Most men cannot stand drunk women.  Simply behaving badly is guaranteed to lose you a few points.

Beauty is everything  – Give your admirer the impression that you are a pampered beauty queen.  Manicures, pedicures, hairdresser and cosmetician… this is what your life is all about!  And don’t forget to make it clear that no one can get between you and Luigi, your hairstylist, because after all he knows everything about you.  Bull's-eye!

The social butterfly – Take the opportunity when he goes to the toilet to chat up another man nearby.  A sure fire turn off!
