My crush at work finally flirted with me (maybe he was shy all these years) but I’m not flirty. I’m goofy and shy. I don't know what to do now?

I love that he flirted but I’m also not a flirty girl so I don't know how to react. I’m still the same shy and kinda girlish woman.

Aww girl I totally get it, when your crush finally flirts back it's so hard to know what to do when you're not naturally flirty! But don't worry, you don't have to change who you are. He liked you for being your sweet, shy goofy self in the first place!

Here's what I would do - next time he flirts, give him a cute shy smile to let him know you're into it. Then just chat like normal, maybe now you'll feel more comfortable teasing him back a little. And keep finding little reasons to talk to him at work, even if it's just asking how his day's going.

You could also try little compliments, like telling him you like his shirt or hair if he did something different. Guys love that shy stuff! And maybe try holding eye contact for a little longer when talking. Baby steps will show him you're interested without having to force a flirty persona.

Last, don't be afraid to suggest hanging out outside of work for lunch or coffee sometime. Let your smile and sweet laugh do the talking. I'm sure if he likes the real you, he won't mind you're not a big flirt. You've got this, girl! Keep being your cute self. 😊
