Please Help me put this on the internet (Everywhere on the internet) for People to Learn Beware Of These People in Nigeria Trying To Scam You For Taste of Georgia Tbilisi Employment! Nigeria 419s love to take advantage of the economic situation, and if you’re not careful, it’s easy to become a victim. Scammers are getting increasingly sophisticated in their attempts to get your money or personal details. Be alert and protect yourself. It’s so irritating finding people that want to scam other people for a quick buck. I want to warn my readers NOT to fall for these guys that offer to help you get Flight Tickets, Visas, and Working Permit abroad. My name is Adewusi Oluwaseun Richard There is this Facebook friend of mine (Abolaji Dosunmu J, Real Name: Abolaji Dosunmun Adeleke) that we’ve been friends for some time, He’s a Nigerian, but according to him and his profile information, he’s in Georgia Tbilisi, in Europe working and making money. On 20th of April, 2017, he inboxed me that there is a job opportunity that he’d love to introduce to me, that there’s a company (Wine and Juice company) in Georgia Tbilisi that do employ people, the company will be responsible for my flight ticket, accommodation and feeding but they’ll be deducting it from my salary every month till I pay back fully. He said the company pay per hour (35 Dollars per hour which is about 13,500 Naira) and the company will be deducting 5 Dollars per hour from my salary till I finish paying for my flight ticket and VISA. I calculated it and I realized I’ll be rich in few months. Due to the economic situation of my dear nation Nigeria, I told myself “This is the opportunity I’ve been waiting”. I went online to do more research about [b]Tbilisi, Georgia [/b]and I found out that it’s a cool place to work, live and even die. I Googled search for “Tbilisi travelling scam”, “Traveling scam Georgia” “Tbilisi Georgia scam” etc. I couldn’t get any relevant result that shows that there’s any scam as far as Travelling to Tbilisi is involved. I asked him for the processes, He told me I need to send my data ( Full Name, Place of Birth, Date of Birth, and 1 Passport Photograph ), so that he can help me submit it to the company for processing, and I need to do that in time as other Nigerian workers have been telling their folks about it, I sent him my data immediately, I can’t risk being in Nigeria for another one year of sufferness, Unemployment and frustration. He tried explaining further about the VISA, He said “Georgia Tbilisi is an European country and their only issue cable Visa, what I mean about Cable Visa is that the Visa can only be Issued out from Georgia Tbilisi Immigration office, and only the person that lives in Georgia Tbilisi can help you process the Visa because Georgia Tbilisi does not have an Embassy in Nigeria, so bro don’t worry about Georgia Tbilisi Visa, I will help you to process it” I went back online and Google search to confirm if there’s any Georgia Tbilisi Embassy in Nigeria, but He was right, None in Nigeria. I sent my details to him to process my VISA, to his email address: abolajidosunmun55@gmail.com He acknowledged the mail and told me that he’ll work on it and get back to me ASAP The second day, he messaged me that the company have approved my application and they’ve given him my employment letter (See the letter below), he attached the letter and sent it to my email, I was so happy, at last I’ll leave this country, not only leaving but to work in Europe and come back rich after some years. He said, for the company to confirm my working permit in Georgia Tbilisi, I’ll have to get some documents in Nigeria, the documents will be issued in my name, and I’ll send the documents to him for further processing of my Visa, Flight Ticket and working permit. The documents to get in Nigeria are; 1. Police Report issued from Alagbon Police Force Headquater, Lagos 2. NDLEA Drug Clearance Certificate from Ikoyi Head Office, Lagos 3. and Traveling Health Insurance from IGI. He said the documents are very important, The Police clearance will certify that I have no criminal record in the past, and NDLEA drug clearance will clarify that I have no drug related offences in the past, which will also indicate tha I’m not a drug addict nor have I been deported from any country in the past over any drug issue. While the Traveling Insurance Certificate is a certificate that will verify my insurance traveling over any casualty incidence i.e Accident, Fire Incidence , or any Diseases. He said Once I get these 3 papers, He will take it to the Company that will employ me , and collect my Working Permit with my flight ticket that week or the following week, so I have to be fast in getting the documents and also he’ll need to submit the 3 documents to the Georgia Tbilisi immigration Office to collect my E-Visa. He said if I can't get these 3 papers in time, cos of Time factor, someone can do it for me in Nigeria. He said the person do help people and he’s the one that helped him during his own time too, and he is fast!! And if I can do it through him, it will be better and itch-free, because he has connections and he’ll get the papers in just 2 working days. I asked around about the cost of getting the papers and for how long it’ll take and from my research, people told me it will take days even weeks with hard labor and I’ll spend more money to get those papers. To save myself the stress of going through that, I told him to connect me with the person he know, He sent the man’s number to me 08093962846, He said his name is Mr Williams (also confirmed with Truecaller), he ordered me to call him and tell him that he Abolaji living in Georgia Tbilisi directed me to him, He said he’s a nice elderly man and trustworthy and he’s the only person that he can trust and very sure that can help me make it faster. I called the man and he said each document will cost 7k each, the man also told me that he was the one that helped Abolaji with the document during his own time and Abolaji paid back by helping his son secure a job after two years he (Abolaji) travelled out and they’re both in Georgia Tbilisi working (Abolaji and Mr. Williams Son). I transferred the money to the man (21k) for the three documents, He called me after 2 days that the documents are ready, I told him that I’ll come to his place to pick them up but he said he lives in Abuja and I’m in Lagos, he said maybe he should send the documents through the commercial vehicles or via email. I told him he should scan the documents and send to me since it’s the electronic copy that I’ll send to Abolaji in Georgia Tbilisi plus commercial vehicles might take longer time to deliver and they can even be careless with the documents. He sent the documents to me and I forwarded them to Abolaji Immediately for processing of my working permit and visa (Copies of the three documents below). I tried verifying the documents to see if they’re real of fake but couldn’t, I printed it and gave it to people but none could comfirn if its fake, I used Google Image search to see if I can get images of Related documents but Nigeria is still lagging behind in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) He, Abolaji called me on phone (with this number +905382068785) afterwards to gist me about the life he’s living in Georgia Tbilisi and how he’s been working and earning money and how lucky I’ll be if I should make it to Georgia Tbilisi. Abolaji Acknowledged the receipt of the 3 documents, He told me that first thing the following day, he’ll attach it with my Letter Of Employment (The first document he collected from the company) and submit it to the Immigration Office in Georgia Tbilisi for my Visa processing. I asked him how he’ll get the Visa across to me in Nigeria, he reminded me that Georgia doesn’t have an embassy in Nigeria, and that Georgia Tbilisi issue only E-visa (I went to Georgia immigration website to confirm). He asked if I have an International passport, I told him I don’t have but I’ll get it this week since I’ll really need it. He told me He has a connection with an immigration officer in Nigeria that can help me with the International passport, He said the officer helped him during his own time and that the officer knows much about travelling to Georgia Tbilisi, so I should contact him to make the processing itch-free and He (the officer) will put me on board when I’m about to leave Nigeria. He sent the immigration officer’s number to me “This is the Immigration Officer phone number: 07080551112, his name his Mr Sunday call him and tell him from Abolaji living in Georgia Tbilisi” I called Mr Sunday and we discussed on how to get the International Passport, I called him and he spoke nicely on phone, He said it’s presently hard to get a passport in Nigeria, he’ll help me with the processes involved, He will help me get a guarantor and take the guarantor form to the court for signing and stamping and then process my passport for me, All I need to do is to come for interview and data capturing and I’ll get the passport the second day. He requested for my email address and he sent a form to me for me to fill( see below for the copy of the form), I filled the form and sent it back to him with my passport photograph. He later told me it will cost 28k, when I make enquiry about the cost of a 32 pages passport from people, I was told it’s around 25k to 35k though the official price is 17k (as stated on NIS website) I called Abolaji to explain everything to him, and the money was sent to Mr. Sunday for processing the passport, Abolaji said we should wait for Mr. Sunday to get the passport as the Passport Number will be on my Visa and Working permit. The second day, I called Mr Sunday to know about the status of the passport processing, he told me he travelled out of Lagos for an Impromptu duty in Ondo state and that he’ll be back in Lagos after five days because of my passport, He assured me that he’ll call my friend in Georgia Tbilisi and they’ll know how to get things done without any problem. Besides, He will work with top officials in the Nigerian immigration office to send an email to the immigration office in Georgia Tbilisi that My passport is under processing, they should issue out my visa and working permit. Mr Sunday called me back later that evening to inform me that they’ve contacted Georgia Tbilisi and they’ve accepted to process my visa without my passport number. I was speechless, I told Abolaji everything and he called me to explain things to me that he trusted Mr. Sunday and since they (Nigerian Immigration) have contacted Georgia Tbilisi Immigration office, they’ll issue my visa and working permit out the following day. And that’s how they helped some people to process their Visa while the passport is still under processing. Lo and behold, Georgia Tbilisi issued my Visa out (valid for one moth), included with my Flight Ticket (Turkish airline Itinerary Return Ticket), Flight is to take off in a week time. It is not a direct flight, we’ll have a stopover at Istanbul airport in turkey then continue our Journey to Georgia Tbilisi the following day. Then I called Mr. Sunday to explain things to him that my flight is taking off in a week time, He told me I’ll get my passport before then . Then Abolaji called me to tell me that I’ll need a Transit Passage and I should call Mr. Williams to do that for me because the airline won’t board me without the Transit Passage, I was confused, “But I have my flight ticket na?”, He said “e no mean, The Transit Passage is as important as the ticket” and I need both. I called Mr Williams and informed him about it, He blamed Abolaji for telling me so late and the passage transit will cost me 47k. “47k in this recession?”.. I called Abolaji that the money is too much and that we’re in recession in Nigeria, he convinced me, reminded me of how much I’ll be making if I should get over to Goergia Tbilisi, he sent many pictures of the house he’s currently building in Nigeria. I told Abolaji about the flight ticket he sent, It has a confirmation code but no ticket number nor reservation code (Coz I’ll use the ticket number/reservation code to confirm it on Turkish Airline website), He said when I do the Transit Passage, everything will be there, then I can confirm. I asked if I can do the Transit Passage when I’m yet to get my passport, he said they’ll use my flight ticket and Visa to process the Transit Passage, So, I paid 47k to Mr. William’s account. Then I started doubting him and asked him series of Questions and he became defensive. Later, I called Mr Sunday to ask about my passport, he said since he’ll be the one to put me on board, So, I shouldn’t worry, he’ll be back in Lagos a day before my take off, then I became worried and more suspicious. Then Mr Williams sent the Transit Passage to me (Copy below), it carries my Flight Ticket Number but no reservation code yet. I logged on to Turkish airline website to confirm my ticket/reservation status but it wasn’t available, I sent a mail to the Turkish airline with my flight details for confirmation, they told me to contact the agent that booked the ticket for me as there’s no record of that on their system and it’s possible for the agent to have it. Then my suspicion just got higher. Then I told Abolaji about the Transit Passage that Mr. Williams sent to me, he (Abolaji) told me some guys just arrived at Georgia Tbilisi from Nigeria, and he asked them about their journey and they told him that the immigration officers at Georgia Tbilisi now requests for Medical Certificate from UCH Ibadan (copy below) and I should call Mr. Williams to help me get it. I was so mad like “Why didn’t you tell me all these from the beginning? And I asked you but you told me I didn’t need anything that the company will be responsible for all the expenses” He said, the company is only responsible for my Visa and flight ticket and that I’ll be the one to get other documents from Nigeria. He urged me to get it as that’s the only document left.. I contacted Mr. Williams and he told me the certicate will cost me 46k I made a research and asked my friends about getting medical certificates from UCH, I was told if I follow the normal procedure it’ll take weeks to get it but I can get it with 60k to 70k in just few days, I compared the price with that of Mr. Williams then later paid 46k into Mr Williams account, he asured me the document will be ready in three days and also told me that he’ll send money to me to buy agbo jedi for his son when going to Georgia Tbilisi. 4 days to take off, I called Mr. Sunday to show him how unhappy I am for the passport processing taking longer time than necessary and he promised and swore that I’ll get It, meanwhile he said he learnt that I’ll need Immigration boarding pass and I should contact my friend in Gerogia Tbilisi to get it for me, else I’ll be deported back from Turkey airport, As usual, I called Abolaji to help me get the immigration boarding pass, He said it’s easier to get but it costs money. I told him to contact the company that they should get it for me but he said, the company is only responsible for my flight ticket and visa. I asked him for the cost and he said it’ll cost me 350 dollars. I was like “350 what?... That’s roughly 120k in naira… I can’t get it unless I rob the bank” He urged me to get it as that’s the only thing that can spoil everything we’ve been doing from the beginning and my flight is in few days’ time, if I send the money he’ll help me get it and send it to me immediately…… I was so mad at him for not telling me all these from the start. I told him to borrow me the money that I’ll refund it when I reach Georgia Tbilisi, he said he just sent money to Nigeria for the construction project he’s doing and he’s presently damn broke. it’s now I realized I’ve been duped and scammed. I told him to send his account details, to my surprise, he sent his Nigerian account details to me, but how come?, you’ll pay for a service in Georgia Tbilisi in Dollars and you sent your Nigerian account details to me.? Account Name: Abolaji Dosunmun Adeleke Account Number: 0074169891 Bank Name: Diamond A Nigerian Account? I thought we’re paying in Dollars? He said If I send the money to his Nigerian account, He’ll withdraw it in Georgian Currency (Lari) since he has his Mastercard with him, I was like “ I am not understanding” And below is the conversation that ensued between us I asked if he has a bank he’s using in Georgia Tbilisi, and he said NO, then I was curious, if you don’t have a bank account in Georgia Tbilisi, how do the company you’re working for pay you your salary, he said it’s by hand. The company pay by hand? Like we’re in 1934? Okay fine, if they pay you by hand, how do you safe your money? He said he doesn’t safe his money as anything can happen at any time, so he do send his money back home (Nigeria) for the construction project he’s doing. I’m like “OMG” (Oh My God or O Ma Ga ooooo). Now I know that I’ve been super-scammed by my fellow Nigerian. I visited EFCC and ICPC websites, sent a mail to them to see if there’s anything they can do about it but I’m yet to get a response, probably they’re busy packing the money found at Ikoyi. I tweeted at EFCC handle (They make noise on twitter) only if they’ll respond next year. Then, I gave up but before I knew it, The guy blocked me on Facebook, His and his colleagues’ numbers became unavailable afterwards. Below are snapshots of other conversations Then some weeks later, I met with three people that shared the same fate with me, they’re duped with the same method. They spent more than 300k, One sold his properties, told his family and friends that he’s traveling to the UK, he’s gotten to the airport, only for him to realized that he was duped, Thank God he wasn’t arrested at the airport for carrying fake documents. After my own experience with these guys, I’ve met with three different guys scammed with the same method. Only God knows how many innocent souls that have been scammed by these people, I thought I should share this so that other people can be careful, Don’t trust people that wants to help you, except you’re related by blood, Why didn’t they help their family members (Even Blood is scamming Blood, that’s the situation of the country now, where the scammer is scamming a fellow scammer using scamming methods, and the scammed would want to take a revenge to claim lost glory). Below are the scammers details: 1. Account Name: Abolaji Dosunmun Adeleke Account Number: 0074169891 (Diamond Bank) Phone Number: +90532068785 Abolajidosunmu55@gmail.com 2.

https://static.ynaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/12145521/Dino-Melaye-690x518.png The governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, has told Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi West), that he “can’t use violence to revive his drowning political career”. In a statement by spokesperson, Petra Onyegbule, the governor Melaye for the death of a protester Melaye had claimed on Monday that he escaped death after unknown gunmen attacked him as he was rounding off his speech at a rally in front of Kogi State Polytechnic. The gunmen also had cutlasses. Traffic on Lokoja-Abuja highway was disrupted for almost one hour as motorists abandoned their vehicles and returned to safety. [Read Also:] PROTESTING YOUTH BLOCK ROAD TO MELAYE’S HOMETOWN (WATCH) Traders at Lokoja main market also hurriedly abandoned their wares and escaped into nearby bushes and houses. A student of the polytechnic simply identified as Saka Seidu and one other person were said to have been shot dead while two operatives of the DSS attached to Melaye sustained gunshot injuries. Reacting to the disturbing incidents, Gov Bello urged the senator to “desist from further plunging the state into needless political crisis capable of threatening the peace and security”. “The governor sincerely regrets the unfortunate incident and calls on the people, youth and students of Kogi to remain calm, law-abiding and refrain from taking laws into their hands in the face of imminent threat to their life and security, whilst assuring them of continued safety and maintenance of security in the state,” Bello said in a statement. “He is appalled that despite his commitment towards ensuring safety and security for the indigenes and inhabitants of the state and endeavour to rid the state of insecurity and political thuggery, the embattled senator remains hell-bent on causing mayhem in the state in a bid to save his drowning political career. “He hereby reiterates his firm commitment to ensuring continuous security and safety of lives and properties in the state as he vows not to relent in his administration’s lofty strides in securing the life of every inhabitant in the state. “The governor calls on young people to desist from being readily available as cheap tools to malicious politicians’ devilish use and manipulation. He reiterated that their lives are precious and should not be sacrificed on the altar of any selfish politician’s political expediency. “He called on the authorities to expedite action on the petition to ensure there is no repeat of today’s unfortunate incident.” Read More stories on https://ynaija.com |

The statement read in part, “Operatives of the EFCC in the early hours of June 12, 2017, visited the head office of the Sun Newspaper in Lagos. The visit which lasted for less an hour was part of routine efforts to ascertain the state of the assets of the publishing company which is subject of subsisting interim forfeiture order. “Prior to the visit, the commission had written to the management of the company to account for its management of the assets for the period of the subsisting court order.

The statement added, “Contrary to claims in a statement released to the media by the management of The SUN, no employee of the media outfit was molested or intimidated for the few minutes that operatives of the commission spent in the premises of the company. “The claim that ‘EFCC operatives subjected our staff to crude intimidation, psychological and emotional trauma, even as some of the men accused our organisation of publishing pro-Biafra, Boko Haram, and Niger Delta Militant stories,’ is strange and clearly the figment of the imagination of the Sun.” |

https://static.ynaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/20191836/Hon.-Abdulmumin-Jibrin-696x482.jpg It’s been almost one year since Honourable Yakubu Dogara shot to political limelight with the budget padding scandal that rocked the House of Representatives. The lawmaker accused three principal officers of the House of inserting N40billion into the 2016 national budget and after a dirty tussle, he was suspended by the leadership of the House for “bringing the image of the House to disrepute and public ridicule“. In the heat of the scandal, Hon Jibrin had written a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari demanding a probe into Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Deputy Speaker Mr Yussuff Lasun, Hon Leo Ogor and Mr. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, all the men he had raised allegations against. For the first time this year, anti-graft agency, EFCC has again requested the presence of the suspended lawmaker to further clarify the petition he submitted to the agency. This is the second time Hon Jibrin will be visiting the EFCC office based on his petition. In August 2016, Jibrin was reportedly quizzed for over five hours on his knowledge of the padded budget. Read about it here: https://ynaija.com/budget-padding-efcc-grills-jibrin-invite-dogara/ At the time, an EFCC operative told newsmen, “Jibrin came to our office to honour an invitation. His petition was voluminous and we needed clarification”. The agency equally promised to invite the accused Hon Dogara: “Based on the allegations and documents he submitted, we will invite other lawmakers, especially Dogara, and members of the appropriations committee”. Although the agency is yet to make good on this promise, it is clear that some attention has been paid to Hon Jibrin’s petitions over the months, hence this fresh invitation. Here’s the letter with which has invited the lawmaker (note it says in line 6 that there are “unfolding findings”, should Dogara start to worry?): https://static.ynaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/12184034/EFCC.jpg |

But, no, this is not about sending the Directorate of State Security (DSS) after Prof. Ango Abdullahi. In a week where Boko Haram invaded Maiduguri again, the shenanigans of the Kaduna Declaration have taken attention away from the horrors of those attacks. Moreso, the defiance of the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo in proceeding with his scheduled visit to the troubled state has also not been fully appreciated, lost in the noise of the back-and-forth reactions to the Arewa group. The words of Prof Abdullahi, in backing the threats of the Youth group, would not have escaped the attention of the staffers at the Villa and the Acting President. Depending on the schedule allowed by President Buhari’s doctors, this news may have also got there too, somehow making its way to him through the yellow headline screens of Sky and the red ones of the BBC. Rightly, the Presidency has waited for the appropriate chain of responses to the Kaduna Declaration to take its natural course, beginning from Kaduna State and through to the Northern Governors Forum. Actually, the NGF’s response was related to the public by Kashim Shettima, the Governor of Borno State. That would have sufficed, marginally, but for the amplification provided by Prof Ango Abdullahi. For such a matter of National security, it cannot be too long before the Presidency makes its own statement. Perhaps a direct patch to the Prof would be necessary to call him to order, reminding him of his commitment to the Nigerian state in conscience, as a former Minister. One could argue that this would have been the duty of some of the Northern members of the Villa, in a very ‘calm’ environment. But if that would take too long, Acting President Osinbajo may want to exercise his creative nous in getting firm word across, and re-assure everyone that his ‘Biafra at 50’ speech was far from just an invitation honored.

https://static.ynaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/27140556/ipob-300x225.jpgThe Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has expressed gratitude to Northern groups for issuing a warning to the Igbos to vacate northern region. The group, however, pleaded for more time for the Igbo to relocate back to the south. Some Arewa youth groups had recently issued three months quit notice from the north to Igbo residing there, calling it ‘The Kaduna Declaration’. Although the call has received widespread criticism by northern governors and stakeholders, spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) Ango Abdullahi, on Friday, expressed support for the youth groups, insisted that the Igbos leave. In a statement by Emma Powerful, IPOB assured the Arewa groups that its people will heed the warning and leave northern Nigeria. The statement, as published by The Cable reads, “We the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it’s leadership worldwide wish to sincerely thank the Arewa Elders Forum (AEF), Arewa Youths and Arewa Consultative Forum for seeing sense in what IPOB has been saying about the need for a referendum to be conducted in Nigeria to decide the fate of the component ethnic nationalities criminally lumped together by the British in 1914. “Biafrans in general also wish to thank these vocal Northerners for at least having the courtesy to issue advance warning this time before embarking on their routine massacre of Igbos and other Biafrans living in Northern Nigeria; unlike what their fathers did in 1966 when death, destruction and mayhem were unleashed upon unsuspecting innocent civilian populations from the South comprising of mostly Igbo men, women and children. “Igbo massacres in Northern Nigeria has occurred so many times that it has almost become some sort of an annual sporting activity for blood thirsty Northern youths. That is why we are particularly grateful to Arewa Youths and Elders for having the decency to give us prior notice before the slaughter commences. “We promise to adhere to your warning to leave Northern Nigeria because a word is enough for the wise. Biafrans and other Southerners should start packing their properties to come down to the South. We also advice the Northern youths and their Elders to keep it on because all they have done is exercise their right to free speech which is not a crime under any law known to man. We are therefore against those calling for the arrest of these Arewa Youths and their Elders. “It is abundantly evident from the genocidal statements coming from certain influential segments of Northern Nigeria that the British socio-political experimentation and economic fraud we know today as Nigeria, should not have been created in the first place. IPOB is very much aware of the covert blackmail and implied threat inherent in the utterances emanating from Islamic Northern Nigeria. “Furthermore, the assumption that economic investments of Biafrans in the Northern part of the contraption called Nigeria is an impediment to Biafra restoration project is misguided and most definitely misplaced. This is cheap blackmail designed to trigger rancour among Biafra populations because the North have always assumed and wrongly too, that Igbos will place economic well being over and above their life. This assumption is based on a false premise and one we are determined to prove same as events unfold in the coming weeks and months. “IPOB under the divine leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the instrument Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty) is using to restore Biafra, therefore https://ynaija.com/ipob-appreciates-northern-youth-for-advanced-warning-asks-for-time-to-relocate/ click to read the full gist |

Flirting. It’s the beginning of it all, the age long ritual of boy-meets-girl that is sometimes conscious and most times unconscious. It is sexual behavior involving verbal or written communication, as well as body language between two people that suggests interest in a deeper relationship with the other person. You know that electrifying moment when you sight that pretty girl or the incredibly hot guy across a crowded room, and then eyes meet — Ta da! Then…your eyes trail back to see if he’s looking and Bam! he’s looking, so you smile back at him. Yup, that’s how flirting begins my people. In this covert operation, boys, and girls, these are the Do’s and Don’ts (very important so you don’t get burnt); Do smile Nothing lets a person know you’re picking up what they’re putting down better than a smile. Don’t make it too obvious Be subtle, but get your point across. You don’t have to be over-the-top; subtle indications are the most effective way to let him know that you’re attracted and interested. Do make eye contact Making and Maintaining eye contact shows a guy you’re focused, confident, and interested in what he is saying and doing. The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Don’t stare It’s important to let the person know you’re interested, but it’s equally important not to make him uncomfortable. Do flatter There’s no clearer indication that you have a romantic interest in someone than a compliment. Don’t overdo it A simple compliment will advance your efforts much further than a fake-ass pickup line. Take charge Take the conversation where you want it to go. If you expect him to call, give him your number. If you want to call him, ask for his. Don’t feign interest For men, flirting is often realized in hindsight. If you flirt and then act uninterested, he won’t pursue you. Keep your signals consistent Act gracefully If he’s unavailable or uninterested, maintain your poise and just pretend you never started flirting in the first place. Don’t flirt with others simultaneously It will confuse a man and bewilder him if you’re flirting with him and others at the same time. Keep your eyes on the prize.
