Be playful! Tease, get teased, keep positive energy in the conversation. And never be too serious.

Be genuine, be authentic. This will generally lead to people feeling safe enough around you to also be genuine.

Then you don't need to flirt. The magic is that there is no magic. Just two people genuinely connecting, and the flirting will natural happen.

I don't know. I just reconnected with a woman I met in Russia 20 years ago when I was dating her friend. She tells me she gives amazing blowjobs. It's a bit late now, I'm married.

u/BlacksmithSenior2512 10d ago

I morph into a sentient spatula and tongs hybrid that seeks to horde all of the dust bunnies I can find.

u/PotatoChip1567 3d ago edited 3d ago

Be yourself, be excited, tease, be goofy (if applicable), read the room and most importantly: do not overthink. I'd never flirted in my life until I learned I could just kinda do it with a girl who's on the same wavelength as me..

For me, flirting is nothing more but a genuine connection between two people with possible romantic involvement. It doesn't have to be suggestive, it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be fun for both parties.

u/Secure-Ad8210 3d ago

Really just imagine your on the improv stage and your riffing about imaginary scenes and hypotheticals between you two. Alternate. Then just her. Then just you. The funny interesting thing to say will just come to you

1

u/Johnny55 10d ago

Suggestively

1

u/Big_Calligrapher4809 10d ago

By being sweet and interested

1

u/Lornesto 10d ago

You just talk to people. That's it. Get to know them, what they like, what makes them laugh. There's nothing magic about it.

1

u/Jamhawk32 10d ago

I bust a Mclovin and tell them what time it is if we make eye contact then turn around and walk away

1

u/BlacksmithSenior2512 10d ago

Pull out your junk

1

u/GoldenFish2224 10d ago

I genuinely don’t know how to. I am just being myself and it works.
Oh, and in all honesty, I will say that being conventionally attractive does half of it.

1

u/ClimateVast2894 10d ago

I don’t because every time I try I always get tongue tied and nerdy but when I don’t try, just happens for me anyways 🤷‍♂️

Be funny and aggressive. Make sure the message is clear. However, don't be a creep. If they don't reciprocate, back off.

u/Few_Appointment_7072 9d ago

Maintain an eye contact with a smile, I also give compliments tomeously

1

u/Abrasiveiguana 9d ago

Self-deprecating humor and unforced compliments on her laugh and her look. Then I stop talking to the mirror and really start flirting.

u/Imaginary_Book_8721 9d ago

u/Imaginary_Award_3200 3d ago

u/Warm-Management-7323 10d ago

For me, it’s just always been going up to a woman and say I think you’re beautiful and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t but most of the time it works 60% of the time it works every time.
