I don't know how to flirt

This is very important.

I do not understand how I could be born without this ability. Every female should know how and it should an instinct to attract the opposite sex. Animals know how to do it, why can't human beings?

I know how to be friends with men but I don't want to be friendzoned. How do I keep the flirtatious chemistry between me and men? This is extremely difficult to balance.

A few questions I have in mind:
- How do I know if a guy finds me attractive?
- How to tell if he would like to continue a conversation with me?
- How would I know if a guy is interested in me?
- How is this entire relationship thing work? Is there another manual for it?
- If i am always initiating the conversation, does that mean he is not interested? Or does it mean he's just shy?

You can never tell.

People with more experiences always say "Oh, you'll just know." "You can feel his way towards you". N-O, I cannot. It is one of my many many flaws and there is no way to fix it.

This flaw has made me lose quite a few opportunities and inadvertently shut a few doors. Mum always tells me how I should make myself more approachable to people. I should also stop rejecting people. The advice made me start reflecting on my impression to others. Maybe the way I response or the way I end a conversation is discouraging to men. Maybe they got the wrong message and interpreted as a rejection. It's never to late to realize and to change though I would've appreciated if I could learn it sooner.

Note to self:
1. Be more gentle
2. Laugh your way through when you don't want to sound harsh
3. Build up an unique personality but an amicable one
4. Self-confidence
5. Maintain a conversation
6. CALM DOWN

All in all, find a person who you feel compatible with, you can talk to for countless hours, you can count on, you can have fun with.
