Poll: How do you flirt?

[Biosophilogical]

I don't flirt. I am a huggy person, so I tend to be more open and stuff with people than (for example) my friends. So I guess I'm a slightly flirty guy just as is, but it isn't very flirty, and I'm not doing it deliberately, it is just that the way I intereact with people is to flirting as partial nudity is to porn.

aparently I'm a very blatant flirt.................. I don't think I'm very good at it..... but maybe I am if it comes naturally...oh dear how cliche......

 

[Smooth Operator]

start talking with her > get her msn or number > text or chat with her alot > ask if she ever wants to do something

if she says.. just as friends then abandon that shit

You should rearange that order, start talking with her > ask if she ever wants to do something (then the rest), clears up the friend of BF confusion right from the start.

I really am not a natural, but I learned how to get around my lack of talent.
When I try to flirt I usually just lay it on way too thick, so the girl just feels pushed into a corner at which point she just never wants to see me again.
The solution is to play a bit of cat and mouse, show interest then back off to see if they respond, and proceed once they do.
This even got a girl that turned me down to come back after a couple of weeks to ask me out, never would have figured that can happen.

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.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I don't flirt because I suck at it. It would stick out and be awkward since most of the time I'm sarcastic and a smart ass, besides, I'm used to being hit on, so most of the time I don't even bother.

 

[Tautology]

I have neither the personality nor the social ability required to flirt.

 

[commodore96]

If I like you and I want you to like me I'm extremely good at it, but that rarely happens.

 

[game-lover]

I'm not entirely sure I know how to flirt. That being said, I picked the 2nd to last option because it's mostly true.

Basically, I leave it to the men to pursue because I'm a wuss. Too afraid of being rejected and all. I've never made a move on a guy before. Probably not happening any time soon.

 

[Aetera]

I don't really try to flirt. my friends and I joke around all the time about stuff like that, though, so I can come across as flirty to other people, but I don't do it intentionally. I'm usually the one getting hit on anyway.

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

Really? Are we all that bad? I don't seem to have a problem. If there's a girl or two that I like, then yeah, I dunno, just comes naturally. Be pleasant, polite, I'm good at making little jokes too, and wordplay. Can fit sneaky little compliments in sometimes, I dunno. I'm super-confident in myself too, that probably helps.

Summary: Girls aren't scary, just have fun talking to them

 

[CommanderKirov]

I'm like Captain Jack Harkness..

I flirt with the whole frekking world and expect it to tongue kiss me for it.

 

[Mace Tulio]

My 'flirting' is more so an act.

I generally act overly confident and be very forward. I'm not interested in actually flirting, I just do it for both the lulz and to see the reactions.

 

[ImmortalDrifter]

Being a schizoid answers this question for me, hahaha.

Or having SPD, if you want to be technical.

 

[Deadyawn]

Flirt? Ha! Real men don't flirt, they spend all their time playing videogames, watching random youtube videos, engaging in discussions on nerdy internet forums and optimizing the statistics on their DnD characters. My way is the way of the future!


It's also pretty bloody lonely...

 

[IDTheftVictim]

Take off shirt. Flex. Get Girl

...or that is whats supposed to happen

I actually don't really flirt, it doesn't fit me and I don't see a reason to try and fool someone into thinking I am a flirt when I'd rather just have a conversation without awkward one-liners

 

[NicolaiBonde]

I think flirting is a wierd thing, what the fuck world

 

[Mackie Stingray]

With women, I am accused of flirting far, far more often than I do so deliberately. I assume either that I'm an incorrigible flirt, or easily misinterpreted in that direction.
With men? I'm not often taken to be flirting with men.
In either case, I tend to be the innocent party when another flirts with me. Usually, I won't even notice. On such occasions as I am receptive to flirting advances, I become shy and abashed quite quickly, though I've seldom acted to discourage the behavior. Now that I'm married, of course, this doesn't come up much. I try to bear in mind that I may be seen as flirting by others, but my flirting has always been unambitious even when deliberate. It's just how I talk.

 

[DefinitelyPsychotic]

I act my normal self, which is charming and caring. That's how I got my current girlfriend.

 

[Unia]

I can't remember ever trying to hit on anyone. Where's the "painfully oblivious to flirt" option? I'm not very outgoing but when I do, chances are I'll have a friend rolling her eyes at me after I "brush off" somebody without even realizing.

Real life example: This fairly formal school dance is coming up and a guy I just know by name asks me if I'm going. I start blabbing about how dressing up and having a ballroom dance in the gym sounds like a lot of trouble and not much fun to me...and only then it occurs to me why he might be asking in the first place >_<. Meh, wasn't going anyway.

 

[supermariner]

i like to put on a very gruff and deep voice and speak very slowly
my usual tactic is to say
"oooooooh, you look good enough to chew"

yeah but seriously i dont have any specific techniques
success rate is reasonable, but i'm sure thats because they pity how tight my jeans are
