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   Links mentioned Flirtology Jean's TED Talk   You can leave a rating and review on iTunes (here's how to do that) and I will be as happy as a lamb frolicking in sunshine (or sob into my pillow, depending on what you write.)
