Keep in mind: The underlying key is CONFIDENCE. Smile, smile, smile. Compliment that person on his or her clothes, eyes, smile or sense of humor for starters. Keep your body language open and inviting Make eye contact, lightly touch the person's hand or arm when telling a story, toss your head back when you laugh. Gauge the person's interest carefully. If you sense a flashing red light - or worse, smug ridicule - make your exit graciously, and immediately. (You've got nicer people to meet.) If you perceive a connection, make the bold move. Get the person's telephone number.
