Article: Once you meet an officer, you can build relations by exchanging information about your lives. Look for opportunities to tell them interesting information about you, such as your hobbies or career. Ask them questions about themselves to stimulate conversation. Do this over time, and you can see if you are interested in asking them out. If you meet an officer online, you can jump right in and ask them questions about their life and interests, such as their favorite food and where they grew up. If you meet them at a bar, coffee shop, or neighborhood watch meeting, ask them how their day is going, and check in each time you see them to build a dialogue. If you're interested in the officer, offer your phone number to them so you can keep in touch. You can have them add it to their personal cell phone, or write it down on a scrap piece of paper or napkin. Alternatively, ask them for their phone number. You can pull out your cell phone to suggest you want to add their contact, for example. Flirting is an art in and of itself, but to give off hints you can make eye contact and smile. Offer the officer compliments, and brush against their shoulder or arm. Act happy and cheerful throughout your interactions. Ladies can also show off their neck or wear red lipstick for flirtatious touches. Men can mimic the body language of female officers to get their interest. Keep your flirting subtle at first to avoid seeming desperate or like you are trying too hard. When you and the officer have exchanged some conversation and broken the ice with some flirting, offer to meet up for a drink or a meal. You can simply suggest the idea by asking what they are doing this weekend, or pitch your date by explaining how it will benefit them. For example, if you are talking to someone online and you've both hinted at liking each other, you can say something like, "So, I'm thinking about trying this new restaurant this weekend. Want to try it with me?" Or, try after you've met an officer at a couple neighborhood watch events, say something like, "These meetings have been very productive. Would you like to get coffee to discuss other ways to help the community?"

What is a summary?
Chat with an officer to get to know them better. Exchange phone numbers. Be flirtatious with the police officer once you get to know each other. Invite the officer to go on a date when the time feels right.
