Just have that fire, have the passion, and want to be successful. And don't listen to anybody else.”

The best way to flirt is to care deeply about whatever your date is saying and to focus all of your attention on him or her. Ask thoughtful questions. Take a keen interest in the conversation. Be enthusiastic.”
