When you´re walking down the street, either going for a walk or nearly running to make administrative dealings, you look around. Observe the landscape, the city´s movement, the cars, the buildings, but what you give the most attention to is looking at all the attractive people that come across them.
Many times, us women tell our friends “You won´t guess the man I´ve just come across at the bakery, he was an angel fallen from the sky”. But (nearly) always this love at first sight never materializes because the other person never realised we exist. The same happens to men, the look a lot around the street but few of them find the courage to talk to the beautiful women they´ve seen go past.
With the advance of new technologies and the popularization of smartphones, personal relations are changing and there´s already an application that allows us to flirt in the street, without being creepy or out of place.
The application is called Streetmatching and it´s free but only when compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. It´s available in various languages (Spanish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese) and it can be used in any city in the world.
The procedure for using this application is very easy. You download it to your phone and when it installs you complete your personal details (e-mail, phone number, address). When you´re walking down the street and you see someone attractive who´s caught your eye it immediately localizes your “flirt” and later registers it in Streetmatching. That way, if there´s another person that felt an attraction to you in the same direction, you can meet.
But flirting in the street isn´t as easy as it seems. The detail that Streetmatching took into account was that before registering your “flirt” you have to take a photo, so you can show how you are looking today (with a blue jacket and a white scarf, for example). The other person does the same. This happens so it´s not a blind date.
d.b
You can contact all the registered people in this application and, that way, it will be easier to flirt. If you rented apartments in Rome and a beautiful Italian girl comes across your way, don´t doubt it and register her as a “flirt”. You never know what might happen.
