Tracey Cox is one of the world's foremost writers on sex and relationships - her new book, Superflirt, teaches you how to get what you want without saying a word. Read on for a sneak preview of how to go from so-so to supersexy in the blink of an eye.

 

Alter your body language to look and feel instantly sexier and more confident. Within ten seconds of meeting you, the person you're meeting will have made up their mind what sort of person they think you are. Be aware of your posture. Hold your head high, put your shoulders back, take a deep breath and let your body relax into it. Uncross everything. Smile. Fantastic!
Do you really believe you need to be beautiful to have them lined up and taking a number? Don't be daft! Research shows we're most comfortable with people who are similar in attractiveness to us. So you don't need to look like the latest heartthrob to be seen as sexy. In fact, it's the good looking who should be anxious.
Check you're on the same wavelength by seeing if the person you're keen on mirrors your movements. Cross a leg, see if they follow. Wait a few minutes and try something else. If they're doing the opposite to mirroring and changing their position so you're racing to keep up, back off - they're not ready to connect yet.
Use the word 'we' as soon as you possibly can. "We're going to get fat if we eat all this, aren't we?", "Shall we have another drink?" Linking the two of you conversationally subliminally plants the idea of linking up in other ways.
If you want to connect with someone, there is no better way to do it than through touch. The tiniest, briefest touch can have an electric effect on how somebody feels about you. Ways to do it? Point something out ("Gosh, look at that!") as you lean in to lay fingers on their forearm. Pass something (a drink, a pen, the menu) and brush fingers.
Getting completely sloshed nearly always tops the list for Oh-my-god-I can't-believe-I-did-that disaster dates. But there are plenty of other ways to unwittingly put someone off. These include: resting your chin on your palm, one elbow on the table (you look bored and you're hiding your face from view); awkward hands (wringing or fiddling signal nerves and anxiety); or not moving (shy, nervous people stand very still, enthusiastic, passionate people move around a lot).
You've done your homework and all that flirting's paid off. Here are the secret signs that show someone is ready for sex. A man will touch his face more than usual, hold his head high, his eyes will appear shiny and moist, his pupils are large and dilated, his lips are red and swollen and his nostrils flare. A woman will stroke her neck loads, her cheeks will change colour - she'll blush and glow, then go pale again, her eyes will seem glittery and sparkly, and she'll touch her mouth and lips with her fingertips.
