Before you start pawing him, "touch your own body, like your collarbone if you have a necklace on, or your finger to your lips," Slotnick suggests. These are subtle flirty body language moves that show an openness and sensuality, establishing you as a sexual being.

Sex up what you're wearing, says Slotnick. No one's suggesting you bust out fishnets and a garter belt or anything, but some dipping necklines, bare shoulders, skinny jeans, bright lipstick, or whatever you feel sexiest in, couldn't hurt when you're around him.

"Communicate with your eyes," says Slotnick. "Have short, direct eye contact, but then look away, as if it's a game of tag." Slotnick also says to not "be afraid to face him and look him in the eye." Also: "A certain raised eyebrow with it can be very sexy."

Waiting around for your crush to notice you doesn't always pay-off. "Sometimes if you have a hook-up or a fling who isn't him, it makes you exude sexuality a little more, and he'll see that," explains Slotnick. But watch who you're getting frisky with: "Don't hook up with his friends! There is a "bro code", warns Slotnick. "If you're all in a group of friends and you've hooked up with one of his other friends, he may have to wait six months or so to even go there with you."

Don't Rush

"You definitely don't want to sleep with the guy right away to get his attention and you don't want to be too overtly sexual," says Slotnick, who says putting it all out there too soon can jeopardize the shot at a real connection. Another warning: "Don't talk about people that you're dating or ask him about people that he's dating. He may be happy to share with you, but it doesn't make him think about you in a romantic or sexy way." Noted!
