What's your flirt tactic?

[thefrizzlefry]

I open with a Python quote. Always a good decision.

There should be tips for the less talkative, introverted people as well. "Be funny" is hard to do when you don't like talking to begin with.

Also, what to do if one doesn't like going to clubs or drinking? There has to be more than one person who dislike going to such socially-intensive places.

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.

Sanomaton, that sounds like the one time I did that (does this count as flirting?) back in college.

But you're also at least the second or third person to suggest flirting by looking at someone. For those not big on talking, I can attest that meeting her gaze from across the room can work really well. When he/she realizes that you are looking at her, make sure she sees that its not an accident! Smile, make a face, wink, look away with obvious embarrassment. Just do something. Its just looking, so there's no harm done if she's not receptive.

When I did this - waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when - I met her gaze in a cafeteria, and when she saw me, I burst into the biggest (crooked) smile I could manage. The first time she looked away with embarrassment/surprise. Then it was my turn to look away in embarrassment when she and all her friends looked at me. I was still young and shy and awkward and stuff. I did finally speak to her... months later. We said inconsequential things to each other and nothing came of it.

But I can assure you, I had her attention for at least a year. From just a look.

Somehow I don't see that going well much of the time.

 

[OrenjiJusu]

I throw tiny screwed up balls of paper at them and blame it on the person next to them, the cat, the wall, god and then themselves.

 

[ShakyFt Slasher]

I act really friendly and compliment how she is looking today. As long as I'm not too forward with it, she doesn't find it annoying but rather charming.

Okay kids, read up because while I don't know you, I can't stand reading any more of your emo whining about how you're the "elephant man" (but in the bad way) and so no girl will ever look at you.

Girls are all masochists, that's the way nature made them, so you have become the punishment they secretly know they deserve. No guy is too ugly for any girl.

The trick with girls is that you can get away with nearly anything if it's sufficiently outrageous and funny... think the Homer Simpson line "I'm sorry I ate your fern". If a woman laughs at your jokes, she's 70% towards finding you attractive.

HERE IS YOUR QUEST:

Learn the art of finding humor in every situation and making amusing comments about everything.

Having learned seeing the humor in everything, now learn how to see the dirty joke that lurks in every verbal statement.

This is not the riddle of steel, it's just a matter of practice.

If she laughs at your jokes, then laughs at your dirty jokes, don't ask her anything, just kiss her and see how that goes.

No woman is ever attracted to a whiny needy little *****, that's her role, and as a man you are entitled to belittle her for her dependency. And yes that's a sexist attitude, but it is also totally true. Just don't go in for verbal abuse, tease her instead.

Finally you need to develop the retort. That is, when you make a witty remark that teases her, she will come back with a remark, you need to pull out a good remark that nukes her attempt to tease you back.

You will eventually have to develop emotional maturity too, but as Admiral Akbar says... "It's a trap". Emotional maturity is the pretense that you think your woman's trivial problems are important enough to listen to. I still haven't mastered that one, and I don't think I ever will, but I can fake it.

It's rare to see someone arrogant enough to say other men are so unworthy, they can be considered a punishment for any women they meet. It's rarer still to find arrogance so complete as to claim the women deserve said punishment. Is there anyone you don't consider inferior to yourself?

You're a bit a of douche. I think I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone than try any of that.

Seconded.

I sheepishly smile and nod.

Yep, that's my tactic.

Thanks! Appreciate the input.

It basically comes down to.. "Hey. Nice boots... wanna?".

Works for me.

"Excuse me, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"

Nah but, in reality, I don't really. I'm a bit of a coward and I kinda have major confidence issues. I currently have a girlfriend, although she's my first girlfriend and 16, and to be honest she started talking to me over facebook...

So, in short, I don't

i flash a smile, give a little wave and giggle that said, im a lesbian, and i dont go to a lot of gay bars or anything so, sometimes it can be very hard to pick up a pretty girl. ESPECIALLY at like a pub or something down on the corner.

I do have one good story though i was hanging out with a friend, kind of playing "wingman" for him. He'd not had a date in a while, and he prefers older women, so he finds it hard to flirt as well. So we went to a bar with some other friends and all hung out together. We were at the bar, and this pretty older woman from the other end of the bar was smiling down at us. I thought she was flirting with my friend and i made a subtle mention of it to him. But he like had an attack of the shy and bolted back to the table. So i sat back down with him and we just talked the rest of the night. As we were leaving, the lady grabbed my hand, wrote her number on it and said "call me baby girl" turned bright red and turned back to her drink. It was cute. My friend was also pissed aha xD I wasnt even flirting and i got hit on! xD sorry, it made me happy to be picked out without trying to xD

You're a bit a of douche. I think I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone than try any of that.

Seconded.

thirded, fourth'd, fifth'd etc... as a woman i think that was the most insulting post ive read in a while.

Works Every Time ;D

Lucky for me I can (barely) flirt practically all-day as my job in the local shop lets me constantly talk to lots of girls. I usually just start with a light conversation, usually discussing why it seems only girls like drinking pear cider. It's definitely an ice-breaker to say the least, plus you find out what she likes to drink so win-win. Also a plus point is that those girls almost always come to my till for ' a nice chat '

Spoiler: The perfect way to get a date /sarcasm

 

[Raideh]

Cleaned.

 

[Off Topic]

I just whip out my humongous cock. Nuff said?

 

[Enfid]

What's everyone's opinion on being rather amazingly straightforward? Like "Hi. I've been noticing you and I would like to know you."

Reason I said that is because I found when I plan a social engagement (e.g. ice-breaking with humor etc.) I ended up planning something akin to a battlefield strategy, with contermeasures and backup plans all laid out. And if I don't, I found that I may say something inappropriate when overconfident, according to experience. Hence, I'm considering a straightforward, almost formal, approach, because that sounds the most like "me", and I guess a few people here as well.

Well the tactic that has worked for me so far (I am on my first girlfriend) Is spend three years befriending her then the day you return from a two week backpacking trip ask her out.

Same "tactic" as Leonard from The Big Bang Theory?

 

[DarkenedWolfEye]

I can't really flirt ... or talk to anyone in general. The idea of having a boyfriend is virtually unattainable.

I like to think of it as I'm the modern day Fabius, except with dating instead of fighting Hannibal.
