Contrary to what your mother may have told you, "flirt" is not a five-letter synonym for all those four-letter words that mean "tease." Flirting is a charming and honest expression of interest in another person—it is never manipulative or insincere. It is a skill that enables you to communicate your feelings and understand the signals others send your way. Most important, flirting is the art of interacting with others without serious intent, and that's what makes it so much fun.

But aren't the most successful flirts born, not made? Absolutely not! Since 1985, I have shown tens of thousands of single men and women how to make that all-important first move, how to turn that first move into a first date and how to use their untapped flirting skills to add all sorts of people—fascinating friends, casual companions, professional contacts and, yes, lifelong lovers—to their date books and their lives. These men and women have adopted my belief that the secret to becoming "Lucky in Love" lies in attaining the right balance of Attitude, Approach and Action. A number of them have since taken themselves out of the singles' market completely.

Attitude without Approach will get you nowhere. And Action without Attitude is definitely in need of adjustment! Which of these three tenets is working for you? Which is working against you? The following short quiz will help you discover which As you've already earned and which of my strategies will help you most. Enjoy!

1. You are in a ski-lift line. You hear the lift operator yell, "Single? Is there a single in the line?" You look toward the loading zone. The single in question, though swaddled in Gore-Tex, is definitely a member of the opposite sex. You

a. stay right where you are. Someone you know is sure to come schussing up soon. You can wait.

b. think it over. Is he cute? Does she/he look ready for love? Whoops. Too late. The chair is gone.

c. get on the chair, but sit quietly. Just because you're sharing space doesn't mean you have anything to talk about.

2. At a party, you strike up a conversation with a fabulous hottie. He/she seems to have no interest in you. You

a. must be dreaming. Strike up a conversation with a complete stranger? You? Not in this lifetime.

b. wonder how you will ever extract yourself from this awkward situation gracefully. Maybe if you stare at the guacamole stain on the carpet long enough she/he will get the hint and wander off.

c. tell him or her off. If this clown can't see that you're wonderful, who needs him/her?

3. You know you've met this intriguing person somewhere before, but you can't remember his/her name! You

a. ask a friend. If he/she knows you, you must have a mutual friend. Someone you know will fill in the details.

b. grab Mr./Ms. X's arm, look into his/her eyes and purr, "Don't I know you from somewhere? You seem so familiar."

c. do nothing. He/she was not interested enough to follow up the first time you met. Why would he/she be interested in you now?

4. The conversation you are having with a new acquaintance is starting to lag. You

a. tell a dirty joke. You know a million of them!

b. say nothing. It doesn't do much for the conversation but it sure beats saying the wrong thing!

c. excuse yourself. If this person can't think of anything to ask you about, how interested can he/she be?

5. You think flirting is

a. a nerve-racking experience. How do you ever know if you're doing or saying the right thing?

b. easy to do if you just tell people what they want to hear.

c. something you have to do if you ever want to get married or have sex.

6. It's 8:15 p.m. You've just left your method-acting class and you're ravenous! That attractive thespian you've been role-playing with looks like he/she could use a snack, too. You turn to this promising prospect and

a. whisk him or her into the closest romantic bistro. Why not sate two appetites at once?

b. invite that special someone and all the other after-class stragglers to the local greasy spoon. There's safety in numbers.

c. say good night. It's been a long class and you've all been doing animal studies so long, you want to hibernate. He/she is very cute, but probably wants to get some sleep.

7. You have just joined a new political organization and you are suddenly energized! The old, apathetic you has been replaced by a firebrand who lives, eats and breathes your beliefs. Naturally, when you meet a new person you

a. walk right up and suggest he or she join you at a meeting! This group changed your life! It could do the same for him/her.

b. expound on your opinions. What could be more rousing or attractive than someone who is active and involved?

c. find out which side he/she is on. There will be no sleeping with the enemy as far as you're concerned.

8. At the organic farmers' market, you notice an attractive shopper squeezing the tomatoes. You also notice that he/she is not wearing a ring. You

a. inform him/her that the best way to judge ripeness is by aroma. Maybe that will keep him/her from reducing the entire bin to pulp.

b. smile, select a few ripe tomatoes and put them into his/her basket. Then wait for thanks.

c. walk on by. If this person doesn't know anything about choosing produce, he or she will never fit into your healthy lifestyle.
