CIP071: Jean Smith on Flirting for Introverts

In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Jean Smith, social and cultural anthropologist and social intelligence coach.

This podcast is BY FAR the one I’ve most hesitated to publish because… I get coached. I don’t get coached on something you might expect either - not a topic we normally tackle on the podcast, but one I’ve been really hoping to, because it undoubtedly effects pretty much everyone at least if you’re… single.

 

What we talked about:

• What challenges Jean sees most introverts have in common when it comes to flirting and meeting new people
• The H.O.T.A.P.E. technique for flirting
• Jean’s advice for introverts who want to meet people but don’t know where to look
• What Jean thinks of online dating for introverts
• What Jean recommends we do in order to get talking to a stranger
• How you can tell if someone is flirting
• Some common myths around flirting
• First dates - do’s and don’ts for introverts
