Dating expert Lauren Frances shares how to become master of our flirting domain.
3. Keep exploring: if you're at a club or an event and it's a dud, skip out and move to the next. Hey, that's why they call it going on a Manhunt! Always coordinate your team's itinerary and plan at least three man-friendly destinations to explore per mission.
4. Peer about: You can always pretend to be looking for someone (You are! You just haven't found him yet.) Begin at one corner of a room and then do a lap around the perimeter. If you're in a crowded venue, do this every twenty minutes.
5. Don't forget high-volume areas: Lobbies are excellent places to mantrap, and are commonly overlooked by the inexperienced flirter. Since the advent of no-smoking laws, designated smoking sections can often be more fun to flit through than bars themselves.
