It increases self-esteem and raises disposition. All women like it when somebody finds them attractive and the beginning stages of relationships are the most interesting and exciting. Tried and tested tips:
1. make visual contact
70% of information we receive and transmit is through body language and the eyes play a large part in the role of relationships. If you manage to catch her eyes, keep your look and smile at her. If she does the same, you're on your way.
2. bodily contact
Move closer to her and observe her reaction. When you are talking brush your hand lightly and gently against her arm see how she reacts.
3. pay compliments to her
Every woman likes compliments. Say compliments that you would like to hear from her. Your words should have a ring of honesty and not sound too flattering.
4. make her laugh
Women appreciate a light and good sense of humour so don’t be afraid to be funny. Serious might scare her away.
5. steer conversations away from EXXX’s
Flirting is fun for everyone … you want to have fun not be an Agony Aunt for the night.

Martina came out in 1981 - among the first world famous sports professionals to do so. Her first openly lesbian relationship in the public eye was with Rita Mae Brown, an American author and screenwriter. Navratilova later found herself embroiled in a serious legal battle, after her split with long term partner Judy Nelson (also an author, and married with two sons) in 1991. The press covered the case in great detail, and Nelson went on to write two books about the affair; 'Love Match: Nelson vs. Navratilova' and 'Choices: My Journey After Leaving my Husband for Martina and a Lesbian Life'.
Many would say her entire career has been one long string of record-breaking achievements, too numerous to list completely here. But she has received many honours since officially retiring from the women's singles tour in 1994, including her induction into the tennis hall of fame in 2000, and the unveiling of her likeness in Prague's waxwork museum.
And she is still playing. In 2003, she won the mixed doubles with Leander Paes, at Wimbledon. Thus she is also now, at 46, the oldest person ever to win a Grand Slam title. More …
