How do you even flirt?

So, I have had body issues since forever. It's only been a few years since I have learned to love myself like I am. And sometimes, I am still clinging to that low self esteem. I have never been on a real date, I can talk to guys just fine. I freeze up when I talk to a guy I like.
Right now there is this friend of a friend. He's pretty awesome and whenever we hang out I kinda want to take him home with me. How do I do that? Tell him "You know, let me take you to my place?" That seems desperate. And what if he actually agrees? I am not confident enough to let a guy see me naked. Or don't men care when you put on bedroom eyes? Any insights?

(And no, this isn't a troll post, I am genuinely interested.)

    Pfftt, I've always been a flirt. Not a new quality for me, really.

    Umm. Do you guys typically hang out in public gatherings with friends? Are you guys typically chatting it up the whole time?

    Then yes, I would recommend a simple, "wanna come over to my place for a drink and I can show you that common interest we were talking about earlier?"
  • Walk up to a girl and drop your pants.

    In her case she would need him to drop his pants....

    I say just unzip and let your lips do the talking for you... He'll take the hint.

    Yup, worked on me. As far as I know she's still stuck in that abandoned well.

    I have always just been honest! Guys like when they don't have to solve the riddle, so to speak. Just come out and say "I feel totally attracted to you right now" next time you are out and see what he does. Every time I have said it, it's worked for me!

    Flirting is easier than you think - make excessive eye contact, seductive touching, words, sending out the interested vibe...guys pick up on it. They have sex radar. :wink:

    Try this line: "Hey, sleep with me or I will start showing up at your house in a wedding dress"

    a hot dog walks into a bar....I want you inside of me....and the bartender says "sorry we don't serve food here".

    Men (the ones who aren't complete jerks, anyway) care far less about our bodily flaws than we do. Most don't even notice a lot of them.

    I don't know how you turn that relationship into more. I've never had to be in the driver's seat, but maybe suggest dinner or coffee or something, just the two of you -- something that is clearly a date -- and see what happens.

    I usually talk to them super nicely and just when they think I'm this sweet, innocent, friend zone material guy, I say something so creepy that they have to call FBI on me and thats when I get out of the friendzone and enter into the bad boy zone. Then I go and find a pornstar that looks like the girl and .. ya know... self-love.

    I don't know why you would be so insecure. You're a beautiful woman!

    You should tell him you are interested. And if he isn't... get out there and approach the next one that takes your fancy.

    Drop an "if ya know what I mean" at the end of everything.

    Target: Golly it sure is nice out today.
    OP: Yeah the clouds are so fluffy...if ya know what I mean.
    Target: Excuse me?
    OP: I mean, the grass looks so green and luscious...if ya know what I mean.
    Target: ...

    Guaranteed success with this one OP, you can't go any more wrong than you're already going.

    Body language helps a lot too.

    When you're talking and laughing, touch his arm. He'll get the message.

    wash your face first.

    dried blood trickling down your chin and neck might send the wrong message.

    unless he's a vampire.

    Body language!

    Lots of smiles, mimic his posture and things like that (like if he's sitting cross legged, sit cross legged, if he has is chin resting on his hand, rest your chin on your hand, so on and so forth), tell him what a good time you had hanging out with him too... couldn't hurt. :O
