There's a fallicy in play here that he's debating on addressing - the notion that you could teach someone how to be interesting, funny and charming - much less that you could pull it off as a crash course. Han is pretty positive that you can't teach that sort of thing to somebody else. You have it or you don't.
The thing of it is ... she doesn't have to be as funny or charming or interesting as him, she just has to be charasimatic enough to complete the mission. Plus it ain't like 'tasha isn't all of those things herself. She just has to adapt what she's already got for the task at hand. So. He swallows back the urge to set her straight and thinks about what advice he can give to actually help.
"I'd say that the biggest thing to keep in mind is that being coy and demure isn't as fetching in a man." He says leaning forward slightly and propping his elbows on the table. It's body language that reinforces the words. "Most places, even in my galaxy, male humans get preferential treatment. So act like you're used to getting you way, for the most part. If you're gonna flirt with someone - don't waste time being subtle."
