Is flirting the only way to get into a relationship?

[Anonymous]

Yes it is

No it’s not

[Bitter_Sweet94]

No.

Flirting helps, but it’s not the only path.

A lot of real relationships start with something much simpler, consistency, comfort, and genuine connection.

Some people barely flirt at all, they just show up, pay attention, and build trust over time.

Flirting can spark interest.

But kindness, effort, and emotional safety are what make someone stay.

For me personally, no. My family knew another family, and I met a guy who is the son of that family. I decided to marry him and have children together.

[Twodogs0525]

It's definitely the first step. Everyone flirts with someone they find desirable, it's how you first show interest, don't listen to these self righteous fucking morons. Especially that weirdo that should be popping antidepressants every hour.

[DryGermanGuy]

I mean... you could try it caveman style - just hit a girl you like on the head with a cudgel, drag her into your cave and explain to her that she is now your woman.

[AviatorTom]

There are many ways to get into a relationship. Flirting is one way. So is being friends, and serious dating, and sharing common experiences. It's a long list...

Interrupting couples at bars. I used to do this to be an asshole when I was younger, I especially liked doing it when I was 20 (not old enough to drink but drinking at a bar anyways).

I got into a lot of relationships that way. I knocked some 6 foot 6 guys tooth out once. Super fun, I still have a scar on my left hand. My right arm was supposed to be in a sling from an injury from shrapnel from an rpg exploding a few feet from me a few months prior, they used a cadaver the first time as a bone donor to repair my ulna, eventually they had to use part of my hip as the first bone donor was infected with mrsa lol

As opposed to what? Buying affection? Kidnapping someone?


Yes flirting is an unskippable part of dating


You need to demonstrate interest and affection


Besides the best flirts are naturally woven into conversations
It’s not complicated on you practice a little

[Pohjolan]

Dating sites and APPs are a thing. Also one could jump from acquitances to making a move without the flirting phase or even begin with making a move.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Nope. Having a common interest and discussing it without flirting is a great example of how to get a possible relationship. Feelings can build naturally that way and not just giving a dopamine high from someone successfully flirting.

Good call

[Liccer]

No I was dreaming up that I would rather find a beautiful woman, sleeping or making believe she's sleeping. And then maybe come on to her taste her skin, maybe like her forearm run my fingers through her hair or suck her neck. That would be so much more exciting for me, do you even say a word, or I wouldn't have to Would at least get a feel and a taste for her

[Liccer]

Especially.\n If she's tall, thin slightly flat chested with perfect symmetry face and her scent is so good for her, I mean, and if her skin taste as sweet as heaven or as sweet as if I think she can taste, it will be an amazing day for me to feel and kiss her and she wouldn't even know it. I\n Would like to lick her everywhere, lick and feel her entire body. Maybe even eat her out and in my mind. She would taste so good as long as she looks as good. Yeah, it's it's my own great fantasy. I can't say that for anyone else

[Liccer]

I would imagine that she has light red hair or even better, yet, straight long black hair with green eyes and very light skin, slight freckled, perfect symmetry face long neck, very luscious that I can run my tongue at the base of her neck, all the way up to a chin. Put my 2 hands-on her forearms, lightly hold her down as she lies there, limp, her eyes slightly open and I can see the light green her neck, which tastes so good as I said I would start from the base of her neck and lick down to the center of her breasts, she would have that large. Space between her too small of rest, never mind my hand flap across my feet, her 2 breasts on my arm and run down. Stomach will be almost flat as I run through her thighs is so smooth. I must lick them from her inner knee up to her inner thigh taste so good, I can go on for hours, even days, exploring her and tasting her. Without making me a sound or even being awake, I would love to hold her so close and put her lips up against my ear as she breathed into my ear with a warm breath color turn around and put my tongue inside her mouth and taste her sweet teeth and run my hands through her hair and my other hand. How could feel her up soft sweet skin or run down to her vagina and start my finger inside her feet? She is and then I will taste my finger to see how good she tastes and I run my tongue down between her breast all the way down and start my tongue inside her in the lid and put my tongue, deep inside her to taste how good I believe she tastes continue doing that as I continue feeling her body 43 or four hours and eating her out

[MJVillarama]

Not at all! Building a connection, shared interests, and just spending time together can lead to a relationship too. I actually learned this approach from Modern Success masterclass. flirting helps, but it’s not the only way.

[Zionne]

No—flirting helps, but real connection comes from honesty, consistency, and showing genuine interest. Plenty of relationships start from simple conversations and steady effort, not playful flirting

[Abbycado]

I don't think it is the only way, but it is the most common.

[Asker]

What are the other ways?

[Abbycado]

One, for example, is two people being set up by friends.

[Asker]

I think that’s rare these days but wouldn’t that also require some level of flirting?

[HollyK21]

This is more than likely the same guy always wasting our time asking for advice but won’t approach the woman in general.

[mysteriousNicholas]

It's a downside that people have to flirt than be slightly direct without being blunt or rude blunt 🫣

[Nikki1989]

Maybe if you have the mentality of a 12-year-old.

[Anonymous]

It's the most common way, but probably not the only one.

Your friends can help you, set you up with some girl (but it often doesn't work out, unless they actually know what kind of girls you like).

[LiamJHayden]

No. I cold approach. About 10% to 15% of the time I get a yes, and probably 1/4 of the yeses eventually turn into a relationship.

[Eleni9]

It help but also if you click and enjoy lot of the same things.

[BruceWayne32123]

@Abbycado did you see this pfp 😂😂

[Abbycado]

I have not. The account is inactive and user age doesn’t match the pic, at all.

[BruceWayne32123]

@Abbycado I laughed my ass off when I saw it

[Kingofkings1992]

What? Flirting is the total opposite of getting into a relationship

[Anonymous]

You can give her credit card. Or you can dress up and spread your legs on the corner of the $treet that will start the relationship

[serious]

The answer is No.

[BarryLiverstone]

What’s flirting according to you?

[Gagforlifetime]

No but it helps
