3) My answer to "so, what do you do?" is: "I'm a consultant, I work for one of the big four accounting firms," Not, "I do actuarial analysis of health plan premiums and reserves." There is definately a place for short, fairly vague answers. That doesn't mean I won't interact, but you're not getting my life story or, for that matter, too many identifying details in a bar. Too many psychos out there.
4) I'll be the first to admit, I'm a very physical flirt, I get into a guy's personal space pretty much as soon as his body language signifies he won't mind. I'm a big fan of the flirtatious lint pick/tie straighten, this works best when the tie isn't actually crooked or there is no actual lint.
I always give a guy plenty of hooks to get talking. The key from my perspective is not to make him do all of the work, but to guide the conversation so that he has a lot to say. And that takes a lot of subtlety, but the key at all times, like I said in my first comment, is to genuinely make the guy feel like he's really impressing me, and that I find what he has to say interesting. I can hardly do that with, "uh uh, whatever"-type responses.
