Flirting? - February 8th 2012, 11:43 PM

I'm not really that good with flirting.
It's just... Gah.
I can flirt, I'm just not good at obvious flirting...

does anyone have any tips?

Tease her, touch her, and make her pursue you rather than the other way around.

Flirting doesn't have to be a stressful thing, just do what comes to your mind. Tell a girl she looks nice, has a good smile, you like the way their hair looks that day, gently touch their arm, maybe give them a hug if you know them well enough, honestly anything works. Even if you flat out flirt, doesn't always mean that the other person catches on to what's happening. Just be yourself, flirting should come natural (:

<3 Thanks guys. I'll deffinatley try it out. It wouldn't be weird for me to hug her or lean on her... Or flirt, she's already said herself that flirting is like, her native language, and I seem to be able to build on what she does....

^^' Thanks.

I agree with this. Just be nice and give her compliments. You also need to be playful and outgoing, show her that you feel comfortable around her and are lots of fun

Nonononononono. No compliments. You're trying to attract her, not stroke her ego, and by bringing out the compliments early you're implictly supplicating to her. There are few things that a girl hates more than a guy begging for her affection. Instead, flirt from a position of dominance: if she wants a compliment, she's going to have to earn it. Girls are used to being chased, but what turns them on is having to chase you.

What? haha I don't agree with this at all :P Girls like to know they're wanted, obviously just like guys do. If a guy compliments a girl early on, she'll know he's nice & would actually want to give him a chance, instead of a guy who's ego is so big & ultimately makes the girl feel like crap, and then make her chase him for affection. Also, I know from experience and from a lot of my friends, chasing guys is usually pointless & disappointing.

But the point is that, even if it turned out pointless and disappointing, you chased them. Nothing wrong with being wanted, but when a guy looks like he wants you right off the bat, it just makes him look desperate.

It can make a girl look desperate too, ya know =P But you're right, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be chased, so I understand where you're coming from (:

Just be yourself. Don't try too hard or fake anything. Some sincere compliments definitely help. (Emphasis on "sincere" :P )

Its not like he should just give compliment after compliment. If he did, then yeah I agree with you. But girls do love when occasionally a guy will tell them that they're beautiful. It just reminds them that they are attractive and these days with all the self-confidence issues girls have its always a way to brighten their day.
Giving a couple compliments won't make the girl think its not worth it. It will just show them that they're sweet and considerate, and that's always a plus. Girls love compliments.

There's one guy at my school that's extremely gorgeous, and he will just give a random compliment to a girl sometimes and it makes them feel really special. So just don't overdo the compliments and they can work in your favor.
