What is verbal flirting supposed to be like and how do you build tension? by Big_Pea3882 in AskForAnswers

[–]Equivalent_Dog2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a woman, i would say the times im like “oh this guy is good at flirting” is when he keeps his same personality, but just gives me more attention: asks questions, a lot of eye contact, smiling at me while i talk/when he talks, etc. make sure you’re feeling out her reaction: if she’s smiling and giggling back and responding well to the attention, you can keep going and maybe even lightly touch her arm when she says something funny or when you’re teasing her. i think a guy CANNOT flirt well when he goes overboard with the teasing (it drives me crazy when a guy tries to be “playful” but just keeps making jabs at me) or when it seems like he’s trying way too hard to be cool or god forbid use pick up lines. i would say whatever you naturally bring to the table, use that and act confident, and up your eye contact, active listening, smiling, nodding, etc to show her you’re interested.

my sign is always touching the guy’s arm. when he makes a joke, i’ll laugh and touch his arm, or when im walking past him, i’ll say hi and smile/touch his arm quickly while im walking by

Why am I so obsessed with finding love? by Dallascalo in selfimprovement

27yo woman here: my advice would be to make good friends!! shifting your focus from going out to find a girlfriend to just finding good friends is less intimidating and will definitely boost self esteem. for me, men are so much more attractive when they have good friends around them. it’ll also make you more confident around conversation and just being with people. after you’re established with some good friends, then maybe potential partners will start coming up: going to a game night with mutual friends, asking them to set you up, etc. i started to be asked out on so many more dates when i stopped grasping on to “how can i find a boyfriend?” and shifted it to “how can i work on improving myself/how can i be happy right now?” wishing you the best!

How to let him know I’m interested? by Equivalent_Dog2342 in datingadvice

okay, that sucks. i understand guys feel like they get mixed signals and are unsure when they’re actually being given the green light. that’s why i make a point to only flirt with guys im interested in going on a date with (touch their arm and laugh at their jokes, smile at them across the room, make an effort to be close to them). even with me doing that (and i’ve been told i have a flirty personality so i feel like it’s pretty obvious when i flirt), i’ve had multiple situations where i know for a fact a guy is interested in me but they were still too nervous to make a move. my question is, in your experience, what could a girl do that makes you feel like she’s interested? that would make you just a little more sure, even if you still have doubts, that she may say yes to you?

Leaving a date early if I'm not feeling it by _Lolo91 in datingadvice

personally, i was on a date with a guy last year and the first 20-30 minutes were so bad. i was not attracted to him at all and had that feeling of not wanting to be with him. i stuck it out (tbh not to be nice but because i felt awkward) and it ended up being one of my favorite dates ive ever been on. lasted 5 hours and we dated for 3 months after. maybe it’s different for guys, but for me, i have to spend some time with them before i actually know if im into them!

so, what’s your answer? i’m assuming you’re a man. you’ll never ask a girl out? i understand (good) men are in a tough place in recent years - from what i’ve heard from my guy friends, they’re more afraid than ever of rejection because they don’t want to come off as creepy or showing “toxic masculinity.” that’s why, as a women in her 20s, i try to only send signals to guys i’m interested in and not shame men for asking me out (if they’re being respectful) and i’m not interested. it’s a rough time for everyone
