Poll: How do you flirt?

[templeg]

I'm a mostly physical flirter, I seem to have a knack for footsie especially which has gotten me far . Apart from that, I laugh a lot more and make sure they see me from my best angles (as shallow as that sounds). If it's someone I'm very comfortable around, I tease them and make everything they say into innuendo somehow.

Im really, really bad at it- to the point where I just dont approach women out of too many times messing it up.
I also never realise when someones flirting with me, a number of times Ive met girls on nights out and had nice friendly chat, its only when I go back to my mates and they tell me that she was flirting as blatantly as she could do I realise.
But oddly enough had a recent conversation with a sort-of-ex where she told me when we first met I flirted outrageously with her.

I'm flirty as hell.

Since me and most of my friends are in relationships already, it's a good laugh. And it gets me hugs, so it can't be bad. Hopefuly my status is still "mostly harmless".

 

[Latinidiot]

I flirt all the time, it's fun. When I'm in the mood I'll even engage in bromance for laughs, and scared passers by.

 

[David_G]

Yeah I'm like you, op. I just flirt without noticing it whenever a girl is around.

 

[perfectionist]

Flirting come easy to me but i can flirt only with the person whom i like

 

[Doclector]

I don't flirt. Ever. I am too busy with shit that I barely even pay attention to people.
If a girl is interested in me then I expect them to come out and say it. For those who want to piss around playing games and hinting about stuff, they can fuck right off. I have no time for little girls and their games.
It has paid off since not only is my girlfriend mature enough to talk to me about shit without your standard chick games but she also is not jealous since she knows I would never cheat since a girl would practically have to sit on my face, wriggle and scream "DO ME BABY" for me to even realise shes interested in me.

That post was just damn wierd.

I imagined it all being said by your uncle phil avatar. I don't think i can ever watch fresh prince of bel air again.

 

[Korolev]

I don't. If I find a woman attractive I steadfastly try to interact with her as little as possible, and if I do talk to her I am extremely polite and distant. That's my way of introducing myself to the ladies! By acting like a hotel clerk to them!

I have not been very successful at entering relationships.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I don't. Can't. I'm awkward enough around men and women that I don't feel attracted to, let alone somebody I've got a romantic interest in.
No, the way I get into relationships is by being all mumbly, shy and approachable, and having what I presume is a girl's innate mothering-instinct kick in. Or maybe it's the 'he's quiet, must be interesting' thought-process, I don't know. Don't do it on purpose, but it works every now and then.
That, and I'm pretty charming on IM.

But yeah, I really need to stop relying on these things. It's sort of pathetic.

Apparently I seem to be flirting with girls even when I'm not attempting to. I don't know if that's a subconscious talent or something to do with how I communicate but I keep hearing about it later. "Dude you were totally flirting with that girl" I was just trying to be nice. It was only later after I discovered this that I started asking for and receiving phone numbers.

 

[Brandon237]

I give complements without noticing it... I wouldn't call it flirting, because that is not my intention, but other people seem to take it that way. Oh well, I'm in a good spot now partially thanks to not being a useless flirt, so I definitely can't complain

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

If you're a woman, flirting doesn't really seem to have to happen. You're just nice to them and whether or not you're interested in them, they'll inevitably fall for you.

And for some reason, they never ever want to say friends if you turn down their advances. Almost like they became friends just to take a swing at bat. Hmm.

I think that that works for guys too though. Just about all of my female friends have had crushes on me at some point or another. I've even had one tell me that if she wasn't with her bf, she'd totally...well, let's not get me in trouble for that one. XD

Works either way, I guess.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I'm pretty damn shy, so I usually wait for the stars to align in the symbol of a male penis.

Well...I suppose it's better than a female penis. XD

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I'm actually quite good at flirting but I have come to the conclusion that any man I am vaguely attracted to, god or (insert omnipotent being here), puts a 'you only like that girl as a friend' chip in thier head and then laughs, eating popcorn, while I humiliate myself.

Oh and I'm usually utterly clueless if if a guy actually DOES likes me and if he does I think there must be something wrong with him and I'm usually not attracted to them in any way.

Conclusion: The universe hates me.

ps: I have tried to PRETEND I like the guys who fancy me out of pure resignation to my fate but tbh the last one I tried that with was an abusive dick and now I have PTSD. Did I mention the universe hates me.

There's also the geek girl factor, in which men act attracted to me becuase 'lol she likes computer games!' Then they actually realise that I am in fact a REAL geek and brozone me faster than Isaac Clarke did with his mad hallucinations. Please stop that.

Sigh.

...I totally want to give you a hug right now. I'm sorry that things turned out badly. My gf is a bit of a dork, so not quite the same as a geek I guess, we we get along pretty well. Althouh her brother has a serious man-crush on me, which is a little creepy. XD

 

[l3o2828]

I am TERRIBLE at it.
I'm way too shy...Heh, i remember once a girl was talking to me and i know one of her friends, her friend later talked to me and asked 'she's not your type is it?' i asked her why and she said because i didn't flirt back, and i honestly hadn't realized she was flirting with me, it seemed like such a nice, normal conversation...

Thanks lol, Atm I'm just kind of resigned to my fate and trying to work on my career. One of the worst things was a guy I totally fell head over heels for and adore says he's not attracted to me but sleeps with every other woman he comes across so I feel like a complete abomination lol. Maybe my prince charming will pop along one day, you never know.

Well, I wish you the best of luck. I know I had given up on dating until I met me gf. Sometimes strange things just happen. We clicked instantly, and a few weeks later we were dating. We've been together for a little over a year now.

With a combination of witty shit-talking and outrageous compliments. Though I do tend to flirt with people I'm already friends with, so it doesn't take a great deal of effort.
