Woman tongue-tied feature about flirting at the office Christmas party
You know the scenario, that drop-dead gorgeous person you clocked as soon as they entered the building strolls over to you and you suddenly lose all control over your tongue. Well, before you end up standing in a puddle of your own drool, we suggest you avoid engaging the panic autopilot, and instead bask in the knowledge that less than 10% of the first impression that a person receives of you is based on what you actually say.

The key to any casual flirting is to keep it light and friendly. Remember to respect any social boundaries, so don\'t overdo the \'friendly\' vibe with anyone who\'s already taken, or you might end up wearing the Christmas dinner.

There\'s no doubt that some of us flirt in the hopes of gaining more than a drunken swing around the dancefloor! In this instance, more selective flirting is required. Flirting with someone who is similar to you in terms of attractiveness has been found to be most likely to result in success.

Forget trying to impress the object of your affection with the size of your wallet, the make of your car, or your ability to drink everyone under the table (which might become obvious later in the night anyway). Instead, you simply need to master the method of conveying the fact that you like the person; in turn, they will be more inclined to like you.

Woman making eye contact - how to flirt at the office Christmas party
Your eyes are your love lassoes, so use them. Try to make eye contact for slightly more than a second to show your interest in someone. Be careful not to overdo it, as you don\'t want to come across as a psycho stalker! If the other person returns your gaze, or looks back at you a second time shortly after the first glance, it is likely they are interested in you, too.

Body talk

Familiarise yourself with positive and negative body language, which acts as a strong indicator of whether or not your chat-up technique is spreading the Christmas cheer! Negative, or \'closed\' body language includes folded arms, crossed legs and a tense posture. If someone\'s body is turned away from you it indicates that you have not yet gained that person\'s full attention, so turn up the charm.

Chat-up lines

Couple flirting in a feature about the office christmas party
Many of us spend too much time worrying about how to strike up a conversation using a witty one-liner. An attempt at a chat-up line can easily backfire, not only because people have different senses of humour, but because so many chat-up lines are just too cringeworthy! In order to break the ice, try subtlety and comment on something that you both can relate to. So at the office party, you could say something about the food, the music or, if you know the person well enough, you could strike up a conversation about one of his/her hobbies or interests.
