Flirting

[breadlord]

What you have to do is to get the idea of yourself, in their head/s. That makes you look like a good heart-warmed person, rather than getting into their pants.

My tips, be nice to them, congratulate them personally on an award, open a door for them, if your friends on facebook, "Like"ing their status, on a good thing, doesn't hurt either, and if they get hurt, (like if they strain a muscle) ask them the next day if they are feeling better.

The best tip i can give is. BE CONFIDENT! then just be yourself =) don't think about it too much.

This.

Also, talk and LISTEN.

 

[SimuLord]

I can't take hints, so I suck at it...

Oh well, bookmarked.
Maybe I can get some tips too, ey?

I would say whatever tactic you use, do not focus on a friendship first, because that is ALL YOU WILL GET.

I must quote this, for it is the truth. There's friendship track and there's the track that leads to bubbly "I love you"s and sex and all the other great things about having a sweetheart. Getting on the former tends to preclude the latter.

Perhaps I'm just weird, but I flirt by arguing.

Usually it's on a not-so-serious topic, and done while laughing and smiling all the time. The guys I flirt with are pretty smart, so they'll always have a good counter-argument.

Depends on the desired result, in my opinion. What kind of girl you're looking for and for what purpose you're flirting with them. Is it 4am on a saturday night (sunday morning?) and your penis is calling the shots, or is it a cute girl in one of your classes that you've noticed has a pretty smile and a nice personality but never really talked to all that much?

Since I'm a hopeless romantic myself, I'm gonna go with, be confident, be sincere and honest, make jokes (but not too many), make eye contact (as in: don't stare at her boobs... uh, too much), don't be shy (but don't go too far in the other direction, either), don't try too hard, and don't worry.

On the other hand, if you're just looking for a one night stand ... plenty of tattoos and "I play the drums in [insert name of your band here]" has worked for me so often I don't know how I ever got meaningless sex without it. =S

i think pick-up lines are retarded. i just have a natural charm about me that draws women in. i just make witty conversation and small complements. it worked for me. been with my girl for 2 years and it occasionally draws in other woman when i'm not even trying... just don't be a dog and don't cheat on ur girl when u get one, you evil ass holes are making us few nice guys look bad
!

If you're able to speak coherently and avoid looking at your shoes constantly, you should do well enough. There is no catch-all method for interesting potential romantic partners, otherwise we'd all be using it, so you're best off just being yourself (A tired old phrase, but still true) and being fairly confident about it.

Oh, this might come in handy: Be nice and considerate. It's not an inherently sexy thing, but you'll endear yourself to people if you're just a generally kind individual.

In this age of cynicism and mistrust, of divide-and-conquer politics and "I gotta get mine" cultural attitudes, true kindness and a giving, generous soul is the single sexiest trait someone can have. Show me a girl with old fashioned kindness and I'll show you my melted heart.

excellent tip its the truth

think of a really cool guy, like Bruce Campbell lol and act like he would do in such a situation loooll

I would love to try and help, but I'm totally oblivious to flirting. After my dad said something offhandedly one night I looked back and realized I had been flirted with a TON, and never had a clue.

As for doing flirting myself... eeehh, I can never find it within me to start a conversation.

 

[EricGossett]

heres some pickup lines of mine you can use

"hey girl you must be madusa because im getting rock hard"

"i wish i was a farmer cuz i want to plow you"

"i wish i was a octapus because i need 8 hands to grab that ass"

Isn't that last one suggesting the girl's so fat that her ass fits in 8 hands? I don't mind an ass bigger than my hand (I have small hands and love curvy girls), but 8 hands suggests "monstrously large fat chick"!

 

[Ildecia]

I can flirt but I can't ever tell when someone is flirting with me, so I kinda suck at it.

basically

 

[RatRace123]

I find generally talking helps, it also helps if you already know the girl, and they know you.

Then again, the girls you know might not be as impressed by innuendos as the girls I know.

Flirting is extreamly useful when atempting to start a relashonship.
My problem is that i'm pretty shit at it.
So i was wondering if you guys had and techniques for it at all.
I've heard occasional touching of the arm is good but i dont know.

So I thought I'd talk about this in the Relationship Problem Thread, because this is obviously what this thread contains under the surface. Here's the link: ----> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161?page=22#4645672

Relax, the absolute worst thing you can do would be to come off creepy.

and pretend like you are a caring person [...] and of course playing bass helps [...]

Wait... I am actually a caring person and have a bass but suck at it (like with playing guitar), does that mean I'm fucked?

Not as fucked as you would be if you only had a guitar.. Man, we went out of fashion after the eighties, now the girls only care about the bass players.

If you can play guitar you can play bass though. They're even tuned much the same. Just cross-skill.
