Taboo tutor

That Sly, Come Hither Stare...

Here at Taboo we are not only interested in giving you the sustenance to pursue a bold, sexy life; we support bold eroticism in every way we can. After all, we're responsible folks, we know that when we give you Taboo erotic energy drink, we awaken a force within you and we would be remiss if we did not equip you with some tips for handling and directing your new power.

That said, in this latest installation of the Taboo Tutor we'll introduce you to one of the most important, and often underestimated, tools for harnessing that erotic potency unfurling within you. We're talking about eye contact. Yes, dear Taboo drinker, it's all in the eyes.

Okay picture this… You're out one night with a couple friends. Of course you all started the night with a Taboo and now you're feeling good. You've found your spot on the dance floor and you're ready to dance the night away. All you need is the perfect partner, a good-looking gentleman to bubble on (We're going to start with a lady's perspective, but don't worry gentlemen we're getting to you).

You're surveying the area, seeing what the scene offers and then you see him. He's chilling with some friends, looking all GQ. He's perfect for your purposes, but how do you get him to notice you? He's all the way on the other side of the dance floor. And even if he does notice - you are a hottie - how will you get him to come over here and dance with you?

Now, there are a few truly bold souls who would just waltz over and declare their interest. The balance between bold and sexy, and desperate and creepy is a difficult one. Who wants to risk walking over there only to get the cold shoulder? Perhaps a subtler tactic might be in order.

Ever heard of the "come-hither stare"? That look that a woman can employ that draws a man in like a moth to a flame. It's no myth, it works like a charm. There are many variations; you can develop your very own trademark.

Before you start, there are a few things to keep in mind. The come-hither stare should not be confused with the spine-chilling stalker stare. You want to make eye contact and hold it just a bit longer than usual. Most eye contact between strangers last less than a second, according to research. So your look should last no more than three to five seconds.

Another way to do it is to catch his eye for a second or two, look away for five or so seconds, and make eye contact again for a couple seconds. That's all it takes to make an impact. What you do next depends on his response. If he quickly averts his eyes and does not look back he's probably not interested, or he's reaaally skittish, in which case you're not interested.

If he returns the eye contact he's probably interested. The next move is up to you. If you're feeling bold go over and say hi. The risk of scaring him is far less if you've already established a connection. For the meek, torment him with your eyes until he can't help but come. If you keep playing the eye contact-break-eye contact-break game he'll eventually get the point and find a way to approach you.

As you get more experienced, you can mix it up. Throw in a smile here, a raised eyebrow there, some even swear by a wink. Just keep it subtle and carefree. If he doesn't return your interest, don't take it personal! Who knows what people are dealing with? Maybe he had a bad day, maybe he has a girlfriend, maybe his friend stole his last can of Taboo (and his mojo with it). Who knows?

For the gents, I'm sure you know what your role is after reading this. Of course, you're welcome to develop your own look, but even if you don't keep your eyes open. There's no telling when the "come hither" might fall on you, and if you're not paying attention you'll miss it. Finally, have a sip of your Taboo before you head over. After the girl went to all that trouble to get your attention don't disappoint her by being pop-down.
