In years to come, social commentators will look back on Jake Gyllenhaal's illustrious career and remember how he redefined the art of flirtation, so much so that flirtation was respelt G-Y-L-L-E-N-H-A-A-L. A case study that is well-established on the flirting curriculum is the Jake/Penelope Scenario - this scenario usually takes place at award ceremonies.
Points to note for anyone interested in perfecting their own flirting technique: 1) dimples; 2) a firm squeeze 3) animated hands 4) a cumbersome award or a glass need not be a hindrance in the right hands.
Jennifer Aniston is also extremely adept at incorporating an award into the flirting act.
Public occasions provide the perfect setting for a flirtatious display. It can extend beyond the stage to backstage and onto the red carpet.
Jake will always be on the look out for a flirty opportunity.
While it is worth pointing out that a glamorous frock and a well-fitted suit are an advantage for optimised flirtation, they are by no means essential. Jake Gyllenhaal has honed the technique to such great lengths that he is triumphantly flirty even in extreme outdoor protective clothing and goggles. Obviously, Jake is a master and this should not be tried at home.
Many thanks to IHJ for the new old pictures!

Ha Ha...I love it! You know I have been enjoying these Jake/Penelope pictures this weekend...hee hee. It wasn't quite what I had suggested in my 'WDW Post Idea' but close enough...LOL!
Ah, yes, Jake sure can flirt...I know this for a fact. :-)
Thanks for keeping me entertained on this drab weather Sunday.
Gah, I love these BAFTA pics, he is incredibly sexy in them. My favorite is the one where he's standing close to Penelope, his eyes just come alive, fiery. Lucky Penny. :)
Hey there BBMISwear! Thanks for entertaining me while I was away for the weekend :-) I know how you love these pics - and I love the Bafta pics!!! There was plenty of food for thought in your idea for the post :D Noone flirts like Jake :)
Hi there Anon! Lucky Penny indeed - she and Jake have amazing chemistry, like Jake and Jen and I love it when we see pics of the two of them catching up!
I hope everyone's having a relaxing Sunday :)
Ohhh, flirty Jake....swoon!! I love the way he works it. :D
And with the lovely Penelope too. Very lucky Penny indeed!
Hi Get Real! These are wonderful pics - Penelope really is lovely. I hope you're having a good weekend :D
he sure knows how to flirt. He looks deeply into whoever he's talking to eyes and I think they forget what they were saying cause their brain turns to mush.
Thanks for giving me something else to look at besides the rain.

Hi Sweetpea! Glad Flirty Jake is distracting you from the rain - the's something very special and sexy about the way he looks into the eyes... I hope the weather brightens up for you. Autumn is definitely here.
Fun post! Loved it!!
We all know if Jake ever wants to have a second career, I can sell his "Flirting guide for idiots" or "Flirt like Jake" to Random House any day... :)
Also credit to his flirting targets: both Cruz and Aniston must make the task rather easy to complete :)
as i said he could even flirt with a street lamp and make it swoon.he just loves it.
and in photos he just looks at the person he's speaking with as if he wants to marry them and have their babies.he's just so cute.
there's also the intense staring.i don't know how the person receiving can manage to stand still let alone speak.
i used to hate Penelope Cruz.but while watching the past oscars and her winning speech i was surprised to see that my hate dissipated.i wish that would happen to others i hate.
good evening WDW. :]
Hi winterbird! I do agree - penelope and jen are the perfect test cases - although I'm willing to give it a go :)
Evening Gretchen! I used to not care too much for Penelope but she's really won me over - a fascinating person and actress. I love to see her with Jake!
After Volver and Vicki Cristina Barcelona, Penelope won my respect. She's one of the best of today and I'm anxious to see her next work.
Jen Aniston is fantastic. She has talent, but wasted in romantic comedies.
WDW, I'm envious that Imaginarium has opened in your country. It's nowhere to be seen here. :-(
Nevertheless, I saw two movies with abundant Jake links this weekend. For some reason, Chris Cooper was in both. ;-)
Last night, I saw "New York, I love you," with a huge cast. Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, and Chris Cooper were in it, along with half the actors on the East Coast. Except, perhaps, for Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal, who happen to actually *live* in New York. Anton Yelchin, John Hurt, Cloris Leachman, Brad Cooper, and many others were also in it.
Tonight I saw "Where the Wild Things Are." Imagine Catherine Keener playing Max's mother, and Mark Ruffalo playing her boyfriend.
Morning everyone! Monday... sob...
Hi there Monica! I thought Penelope was fantastic in Elegy. I agree about Jen - I liked Marley and Me but generally I ish she'd move away from these films. The latest looks rubbish.
Morning Paul! I want to see both of those films. We have Dr P out here but very little else.
I hope everyone has a good day :) It's cold!
Ha!Ha! That was wonderful! I could watch Jake flirt all day and I love the pictures with Penelope and Jennifer. "(...)he just looks at the person he's speaking with as if he wants to marry them and have their babies." Exactly, Gretchen! I think that intense look is what makes Jake's flirting so powerful, I don't think I could stand it. That and the dimples. And the big, long, elegant, animated, strong looking, probably soft and surely warm hands. *sigh* Can't get over those hands...
Olympia
Hi Olympia! Oh the dimples! The dimples are incredible :)
