Shut up and kiss me!

Licking your lips, playing with your hair and crossing your legs are all suggestive forms of flirtation but what exactly do they mean and how can you do them seductively, without looking like an underdeveloped-hormone-raging-teenager? With Valentine's Day fast approaching now is the time to perfect your moves and practice those crucial one-liners.

Don't panic if you think you haven't got time to turn your clumsy attempts at flirting into a polished Valentine's Day performance, Dr Cecilia d'Felice is here with all her top tips!

Dr Cecilia's tips include 'being selective.' One of the greatest flirting myths is the belief that you have to play 'hard to get' but studies have proven otherwise. In one college, men asked five women on a date. Those women who were deemed 'easy to get' and responded positively to the date were rated more favorably than those deemed 'hard to get' and acted as if they had other dates. But the cases that produced the best responses were those in which the date seemed easy for the man in question to get a date with, but difficult for everyone else.

Also 'Don't be afraid to tease'. Teasing can feel like a risky strategy, and it certainly has potential to backfire. Still, research has shown that men in particular interpret it as a sign of sexual interest. Dr Cecilia's tips can be found in the latest edition of Psychologies magazine but she is taking time out of her busy schedule for an interactive web TV show.
