How to flirt

Dearest MF Pals, Particulary the Americans. Teach me about flirting, I am crap at it. I am also British which makes me quite reserved, I usually get a few drinks down me and launch myself on the unsuspecting guy.


Great pick up lines that have worked for you etc?


cheers

I'm British and I'm a flirt. Just talk, be confident. Or just go to Newcastle, guaranteed a shag haha

and you'll have the added bonus of sounding intelligent, no matter what you say.

You're a woman. Throwing yourself at them will probably get you laid 9/10 times.

Not sure that british is an excuse for you being shy! I am british and far from reserved.
I was the one that put the moves on my bf as he was too shy! lol
been together 6yrs now

I love all of those panda things, I'm gonna say the shin one for definite.

What that person said about Newcastle is offensive but also true :-) (lots of male sluts here, and lots of drink girls)

I would suggest flirting with people that you don't actually fancy, just to see how it flows, then when you start getting good at it, unleash.

Also flirting is more about your body language than your chat up lines, practice makes perfect.

I know this might be unhelpful, but don't try to force it too much. It'll just sound fake.
What I think works regardless is giving a genuine compliment. Not something cheesy or forced like "You have beautiful eyes", but something that you actually mean, something that you actually notice. Also, if you're awkward, call yourself out on it ad laugh about it.
For instance, if a guy has nice eyelashes, but you think it might sound creeperish, you could say something like "Hey, this is going to be super-awkward, but I think you have great eyelashes." then throw a great smile, and continue with "Is that creepy, or what? Hahaaha... my name is So-And-So, by the way."

Also, I think it's good to know what your best asset is and use it accordingly. For instance, I think I have a welcoming, kind smile, so I pull it out in any awkward social situation and follow up with a "Man, I'm so awkward.. Teach me how to be cool!" and a little laugh.

We Americans sort of appreciate your 'Load and Launch' method of flirting.

At least I do lol.

^^This^^ I think guys appreciate it when a girl isn't trying too hard and can laugh at herself when she does something embarrassing.

having boobs makes flirting 100000000x easier.

Hey I'm a bit lacking in the boobs department and I have no trouble flirting!

It's all in the eye contact, and then the smile, and then the awesome convo and then leave them wanting more (aka Look, Arouse, Interest, Disturb) :P

Well my advice would be to focus on your visual appeal initially. Eye contact, playing with your hair and drawing attention to your lips/mouth in a subtle but suggestive way will usually get you noticed (the key is to look like you have no idea what you are doing might turn them on---putting on lip gloss, biting your lip a bit, if you have a drink playing with the straw as you drink from it, etc) important to do it right though or you can look crazy best to practice a bit to get your "moves" right If you do the above well you can pretty much say anything you want and they will be receptive. Give it a try...

Well, as a geordie I know that a lot of the guys (and girls!) are utter tarts, but not everyone I'd like to point out! I don't like when people are mean about geordies, hurts my little geordie feelings :ohwell: we're secretly sensitive you know!

As for flirting... apparently I'm a flirt, but I don't realise I'm doing it all the time. Just be natural, be friendly, make eye contact, touch them occaisionally, that sort of thing. Do you know someone who you think is a good flirt? watch what they do, how they connect with people and things, and do the same. A lot of it is about confidence, and if you're not confident just fake it until you are!

This hasn't been working for you?

"Hey handsome, fancy a shag tonight?"

hahaha Shes not austin powers. Or at least thats where my mind goes when I think British and shag.

if youre trying to flirt with americans - the accent will get you far without any lines. Lines are cheesy anyhow. Pay him a compliment to break the ice. Introduce yourself and have a couple of questions on hand that most guys will bite on BUT that you also can speak on. Lean in while you speak. Eye contact and smiles. Act like a lady - a hair toss or eyelash bat isnt going to hurt. Find a reason to touch his arm or knee while you talk.

Here is all a woman needs to do to flirt/....walk up to a guy and say this magic word "Hello"

sjeagle30

mikeyboy

Just make eye contact and show them that smile! :bigsmile:

stayxtrue

Well I catch a train to and from work and have over an hour of talking time... Mine is to aim to sit next to a hot chick... then accidently bump them with my elbow a few times then start up a conversation but saying sorry for invading your space... then its on!!!

Flirting is an art form, I'm not so sure it can be taught. But if you would still ike some private lessons let me know.
