How do you flirt and what kind of flirting works on you?
How do you flirt?
I used to be really awkward about flirting, mostly whenever I was a teenager though. Because my hometown would shame children for natural urges & such. Stupid, Bible-thumper type folks.
But as I got older & more comfortable with myself, flirting was too easy for me. A lot of times people would assume me of being flirtatious when I’m just being friendly & making conversation. I guess that just happens when you gain more self-confidence & outgoingness.
I’m really honest & somewhat aggressive with my flirting. Like I’ve told someone: “You have pretty lips. I feel like my lips on yours would be a beautiful scene.”
Flirting that works on me is anyone who one-ups my attempts or beats me to the punch. Also if they have a great sense of humor, that’s a bonus! I love to laugh, yet rarely do I actually lol.

I use to be a natural flirt. It always got me into trouble though because guy's would assume I liked them or that I was open to do things. But now i'm super shy, I don't know how to flirt. I think I became shy at 18 which is weird. Last time a guy said " have a nice day" I said " Hello" . YEa, that was awkward. Another time I had earphones on without music playing and a guy asked me how my day was going and I got nervous that I seriously just stared at him as if I didn't hear him and then looked past him with a straight face and then kept walking! lol He looked at his friend like wth is wrong with her lol I felt bad but it was too late to say " good" so I kept pretending like I didn't hear him! lol So the only flirting I do now is smile lol

The type of flirting that works on me is over-the-top flirting. Eye contact, complimenting, touching, hugs, laughing, smiling, asking questions, seeking me out, etc. Anything else and I'll be like "are you flirting or just being friendly?"

Good conversation and smiling works with me.
I do the standard stuff when I flirt- compliments, smiling, looking in her eyes, friendly, etc.

Depends on the guy and how he is and how we vibe, like it's different with everyone
Mostly I'm just being sarcastic and smile a lot and eye contact
Sometimes if it fits and the guy is confident enough, I'm more touchy and tease him with jokes and here and there make fun of him but combined with a sexy look or anything that fits in the situation so he knows I want him and don't really intend to be mean, plus touch him and play around -
I try to be really funny and crack a joke any good chance I can get. I find myself really attracted to guys who can make me laugh. I also try to pump up guys I like because men generally have super fragile egos. They hate to feel emasculated. I like when guys compliment things about me past appearances. Being told you’re beautiful is great and all, but I get the butterflies if a guy says something complimentary past the surface level. I also like when guys make innocent physical contact. I like it when they touch or hold my hand or grab my arm. Not excessively though because that can quickly become creepy.

I go with my eyes first so I make sure we lock eyes with them. Giving them this vulnerable look. Like they're this amazing thing and I look down and smile softly. I'm anshy natured girl so I go shy. If you're the opposite go a more energetic way and smile looking them in the eyes like they're the most beautiful thing in the world. Give grins while you ask them questions about themselves. Say some jokes, make it light hearted, and witty. Speak about thought provoking things and give some insights. Tell cool facts about something. Tease and be playful. It's okay to be silly too. Treat their time with you like gold, have manners. Leave with a wink. It can be charming or silly. And that's my 101 😆😆😆😆 good luck! Go with your nature always!

Dress sexy, move sexy, act sexy. Glance head down, eye up at guys and smile demurely. Flip my hair. Touch my neck and tilt my head. Wink. Bounce a stockinged high heel leg over another while seated and smiling at him. Accidentally touch his crotch while standing in line. Tell him he's handsome. Ask him if he'd like dinner or a drink. Open my sweater so my hard nipple shows to him and smile. (I wear a shelf bra like the pic that lets them show well) Always show some cleavage. Hmmm, I guess that's about it. Good luck!

The guy I'm in love with and I have our very own way of flirting with each other. It's a mix of GIFs, puns and dad jokes. LOL.

Hmm. I dont usually flirt a lot but when i do its in a group setting. I casually flame everyone in the group one by one (sometimes even myself) except for her.
Otherwise when we are chatting casually i sometimes would poke light fun at her (like the type when she punches you back playfully in the arm in retaliation). Or when she is talking about herself then i sometimes catch onto what she is saying and turn it into a pickup line (she herself said it was smooth), etc. Compliment wise i tend to just smile and say something good about her when we see each other in school or wtv.
What works on me would be innocent physical interaction, such as holding my arm, gentle hitting, etc. Also some pickup texts like i mentioned before work on me, or When she gets suggestive (non sexually). But by far what slays the most is eye contact. -
I don't try to flirt I just talk to them like a normal human and if they think I'm flirting then okay but I honestly have never actually attempted to flirt with a woman and somehow treating them like a person and not a quick hookup always seems to work at least for me it does.

This meme was just too funny not to post here. I don't flirt like this but When a guy really likes me he sounds like the second guy on this meme not the first because like me he is super nervous and can't find the right words to say. If a guy (tries to) compliments me and/or makes me laugh, I say yes to a date with him. Me flirting I usually dress nicer than usual and act all girly asking for help for small things and I hang on to ever single word he says; that is my form of flirting.

I am TERRIBLE at flirting.
how I would flirt would be "HI! my name is... what's your name? what do you like to do for fun? are you single? want to hang out some time? what have you been up to?" stuff that sounds so lame...
I guess real flirting would be, "your eyes are so hot!" or something like that... I don't know. hahahahaha I have never really complimented a guy before. -
My flirting goes with the personality of the person I'm talking to. It's not me faking myself to them, but I'll push more on the side they seem to like more.
I just rather the person be themselves. Being intelligent, but not snobby about it and knowing how to take jokes is typically a winner. -
I flirt in various ways, depends on who I am flirting with and the purpose of my flirting. I flirt with everyone (all genders because I enjoy causal flirting). I always make sure they know I don't mean anything of it because its who I am. When I like, like someone - I usually just tell them and then flirt like I normally do.

I flirt by trying to have philosophical discussions or conversations about literature. It does not work very well lol Too bad I have no other strategies 😂 The kind that works on me is when the lady does one of 4 things: buys me food, makes me food, arm wrestles me, or talks about her passion for superhero fiction.

I made the experience that the best way to flirt with a girl is to make her laugh. Compliments are also appreciated. I don't know why but it's easy for me to flirt successful when I'm chatting with her but it's more difficult to do so in real life. I guess flirting is something you can learn by practicing it.
-
I don`t. I avoid talking to girls as much as possible, period. But when i do, i`m okay at it, not really engaging, more like ackgnowledging the fact that she`s doing it trough behaviour and speech. Only to inevitably fuck everything up but that`s another story for another time.

Girls, if you want to make flirting with guys obvious, say you like things that he likes in conversation and find the things he likes and learn about them. Other things are, make sure to have open body language, and be sure to respond to him in more than one sentence answers!

Girls being direct. A mix of faux-shy and overtly sexual is ideal, but not required.
As for how I flirt? I was a master at flirting when I was more active. I've actually been asked to write a book on it, for money. And after a while, I said screw it why not! So Im working on it :D But it ain't gonna be ready for this question matey! 😊 -
i wiggle my eyebrows provocatively...
jk i really dont flirt i just ignore those kinds of things and things just kinda happen... now I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years so we flirt with eachother in funny way (like play fighting?) or other more intimate ways like making out and talking about each other ig... -
I'm 35. My flirting usually hits these three main points:
"I'm fascinated with you and I think you're beautiful. I want to to date you." -
I just try cheesy pick up lines and act like I was joking if she doesn't enjoy it.
-
I point out what or something that looks good on them. I tell her I won't bite only if she wants to.
like I really suck at it I actually don't flirt because I'm brutally honest.
for me about everything works, I am kinda sensitive and my spidey senses are on point
