Twice divorced and recently engaged (Rob Patterson) Carmen Electra, is spilling the beans on how she stays so popular with the men folk. Carmen’s Tips on Dating in the June 2008 edition of Cosmo.

Be Ready
Carmen suggests keeping a “sexiness kit” in the car or in a drawer at work so that you have what you need when you’re faced with a situation that calls for some extra prepping. The essentials: “Perfume, lip gloss, and a pair of heels” because they’ll help you better showcase your legs. Knowing you look hot also boosts your all-around confidence.

Channel an Icon
When looking for a little style inspiration, Carmen recommends browsing the Web, believe it or not. “Google movie bombshells,” she suggests. Her own idol is Ann-Margret, whom she discovered in junior high when she saw the fiery singer-actress-dancer in the movie Bye Bye Birdie. “I watched it over and over and studied how she moved, how she talked, and her expressions,” she says.

Let Him Know You’re Interested
On a date, feel out chemistry — literally, says Carmen. “Accidentally” making physical contact, whether it’s using his shoulder to steady yourself or picking an imaginary piece of lint off his shirt does two things — it gauges his interest in you and lets him know you’re comfortable around him.
