لاس زدن مهارت مفیدیه که متأسفانه هیچ‌وقت درست‌حسابی یاد نگرفتم. این کتاب فقط برای جفت‌یابی نیست. کلّاً کمک می‌کنه که آدم یکم راحت‌تر جلوی بقیه حرف بزنه. به همین خاطر خیلی ضروری بود که الان که ترم داره شروع می‌شه بخونمش. این که تا چه حد خوب یاد گرفتم در هفته‌های آینده معلوم می‌شه.

This is a useful and practical book that doesn't just focus on romantic flirting, but on general social communication: how to express interest in people, how to detect their interest (or disinterest). I liked the part about how to expand responses - not just answering their questions, but adding on information on your own.

There is also a section about how to use these tips to enhance your career - for example, by being interested in others and how to determine what you're looking for.

It's a very good introductory book.

Este libro habla de flirtear como si fuera algo extremadamente formal, me parecióm muy anticuado, siempre me estuve imaginando a mujeres silenciosas y hombres con tirantes en blanco y negro. Dice cosas tipo: Si quieres iniciar una conversación puedes acercarte diciendo "disculpeme señorita, me permitiría sentarme a su lado por favor" Y o sea, quién dice eso??

Si te interesa este tema, este libro no dice nada que no hayas escuchado ya cientos de veces, y pues a parte, dice cosas como lo que ya mencioné que no deberías jamás usar. El libro sí dice cosas muy ciertas como la parte del lenguaje corporal, el contacto visual... Pero de nuevo, nada que no hayas visto ya en otro lado o en un video de YT de 5 minutos.

It's a decent book. Most advice I had already read in other places but there were some good pointers on behaviour to avoid and train to perform better. Followed by anecdotes or stories to illustrate the point (again).

The verbiage in the book is very British (start a flirtation? How scandalous!) which I enjoyed and often wondered if the author intended it this way. The wording is very formal which I assume is because the author is British which some other reviews remarked on. It raised the book for me making it more enjoyable in the parts where I was familiar.

There's a few dated parts but overall I enjoyed it and will read back to some passages.

Flirting is really about starting new relationships and for some it can lead to a romantic relationship.

This is geared toward building romantic relationships and provides good summary information.

I don't agree with all of what they say but worth the read and the food for thought it provides.

Ich lese ja gerne diese art von Schund, aber noch nie kam mit ein Buch so boomerig daher wie dieses. Beispielsweise wird empfohlen xing/linked in für seine Flirts zu nutzen. Abgebrochen weil belanglos wie alles in dem Bereich. Es gibt keine Zauberformel. Sein kein creep und alles wird gut.
