What's your flirt tactic?

[squeekenator]

The number of anti social responses here is downright depressing. Social networking is required for LIFE, people!

No it's not. There's nothing wrong with being foreveralone.

Nothing wrong at all.

I have a horrible tendency to flirt with just about everyone, but then again I'm French, its in the culture.

I scream the word "intercourse" and hope that somebody takes the hint.

*put son negligee*
Hi SonofaJohannes, mmmm

Holy shit that works?!

 

[Volkov]

Let's not turn this rape into a murder.

Gets me laid every time.

 

[WolfThomas]

Nothing really, I'm usually not an instigator though I may strike up conversation if they say something. Usually I rely on someone I know knowing the other people, being modest, having somewhere between average and handsome looks and the fact I'm almost a doctor.

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

I start with a handshake. The rest is simple.

I don't have one. It kind of just...happens. I do have a knack for introducing women to music and books I like, which often goes down well.

 

[dorkette1990]

Apparently I flirt with every human. I didn't know it until my friends told me. I guess I say provocative things? I dunno. The other night I apologized for staring at a girl's chest while drunk and she said "That's okay, they're for looking!" and yanked down her shirt.
So I guess.... be oblivious? Oblivious == win?

Works every time!

"Hey, I'm drunk and you're amazingly attractive. Care to work from there?"

They'll either say yes or no, it's not so bad.

 

[LuckyClover95]

I know it's a bad answer, but I just 'be myself' I ask a polite amount of questions, crack jokes etc. I never actively flirt though so it'd be difficult to say :/

 

[Supernova2000]

I just don't bother at all; women keep shifting the goal posts faster than formula 1 cars can change gears, so I've given up altogether.

 

[Doclector]

Ha, haahaahaa! Me flirting, you crack me up, haaahaahaa!

Oh wait, you're serious?

I don't flirt. It would be a massive insult towards the object of my affections to flirt with her.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

I don't have a flirt "tactic" as such.

I just talk to a lass and see how the conversation goes. I'm fortunate that I have a "gift of the gab".

Making a lass laugh is a good way to start.

Failing that, cheesy chat up lines.

"Excuse me but there is something beautiful in your eyes ........ it's my reflection"

Seconded, I couldn't seriously flirt with a girl if I tried, usually they talk to me, which makes it so much more easier.

 

[Nouw]

"Gimme some sugar babe."

I wonder if it'd work though.

 

[Techno Squidgy]

I used to be quite a natural flirt according to my friends, I don't know, I wasn't aware I was doing it. Then I fell for a girl pretty hard, she led me on, I got hurt, now I can barely speak to women. The wound will heal eventually but goddamn does it hurt.

 

[sanomaton]

I don't flirt intentionally but it always sort of happens. I'm friendly to new people I meet which is misinterpreted as flirting I guess... So even guys whom I'm not that interested in end up asking if i'm on Facebook. Which I'm not! Whatever happened to asking for one's phonenumber, jeez -_-

However, when I do flirt the guy will know it. I look a guy in the eyes, look away with a smile on my face, then glance back with a bigger smile if he's still looking at me and smiling as well. If the guy comes to talk to me, great! If not I still feel like I have made someone's day a little bit better by smiling to them.

 

[Killertje]

I don't. I'm a gutless, spineless man, with absolutely no knowledge on how to flirt. If I tried, it would be so horribly creepy that I might actually be arrested for it. I am so hopeless at romance that I consider it a punishment for me to have been born heterosexual.

I find that comment extremely offensive.

Before you get your knickers in a twist, I don't think it's any easier for homosexual or bisexual people, and my problem is having sexuality of any sort. I'm not meant to be crippled by sexual urges. I'm not meant to pursue romance. Yet, my endocrine system tells me that I am, and punishes me for my inability to engage women in any sort of romantic interaction. My whole body is broken because I was born with superfluous and dangerous sexual characteristics.

The number of anti social responses here is downright depressing. Social networking is required for LIFE, people!

If possible, I intend to make it so that I don't need to be social, ever again. As soon as the neurobiologists discover the neural pathways that are involved in social interactions, romance and love, I'm having them all destroyed.

But seriously, confidence is really all thats required. Don't know many girls who go for self hating pussies.

This has been mentioned by many people. They don't explain how one is meant to gain confidence. Women want men with money, with talent, with things that I do not and can never have. How is one meant to be confident with what they are when that makes them repulsive to women? How is one meant to be confident when they know that they are a genetic mistake?

I can't change the fact that I'm ugly as sin. I can't change the fact that all I have at the age of twenty-two is a terrible, unfulfilling part-time job in retail, with no university qualifications to back it up. I can't change the fact that nearly everything I'm interested in is repugnant to the females of the species. It is extraordinarily difficult to change my eccentricities, and tiresome at that. How is one really meant to derive confidence from that?

You should try pretending you are awesome. If you do it long enough (and in public) you will start to believe it. And the funny thing is that basically if you act like you are confident you ARE confident. People take on different roles for different occasions because they believe that role is what they are supposed to act like. For instance, when you talk to the hot babe at the counter you probably have no trouble paying for your stuff and being nice, and if she's any good at her job she will be nice too. Because being nice is part of the customer-cashier role.

Now pretend you are awesome and talk to some girl you like, don't say "Hi I'm awesome", that's not what awesome people do. Just act like you are worth her time but don't outright lie to her face. If she doesn't go for it, don't blame it on yourself, blame it on her poor taste and find another one you like. You don't have to do this every day, just whenever you feel like it. When you are done feeling sorry for yourself and get that feeling that you want to DO something, act on it.

This might feel like lying to yourself, but right now you ARE a sad wimp because you act like one. Start acting like what you want to be and soon enough you ARE what you act like. You can start slow on this, small victories will give you confidence. Just remember, if YOU don't believe you are worth their time, THEY will pick up on it and believe the same thing.
