It's Flirting Techniques Thursday MKF! 6/20

[slayer747]

okay... some more things...

the hair flip thing never loses its grip, remember that first and foremost. becasue you'll gonna need it to do this one:

when in a situation where you actually have to say goodbye to a girl, after actually saying "bye." linger there in front of her for a moment, act as if you still have something (nice) left to say (smiling a bit and putting your weight on one foot could add some touches) but then just shake your head a little and "hesitate"... then after walking a few feet away, turn your head to her direction to see whether she's looking back at you... if she is, smile, hair flip.

Mmm... flirting. I can't help it. I work at a Subway store with an ever-malfunctioning cash-register, and when I can't add or substract to save myself and there's a queue of ten or so people waiting to be served, all I can do is flirt with the customers. Nice to see them leaving the store with a smile.

My favorite come-on was at a friends 21'st party. I had gotten completely smashed and passed out in the host's bedroom. When I woke up and went back into the main room the entire thing had degenerated into an orgy. Keeping in mind that I'm dressed in a revealing catholic school girls uniform (it was fancy dress) and still drunk, I plomp down on a sofa and proceed to watch the ensuin debauchery.

Suddenly, this guy sits next to me. "Sooo.... looks like everyone's smutting." (Smut, in some kind of bizarre, far-off lingo means pashing, snogging, making out)
(long pause) "Yes. Yes they are."
"Do you want to smut?"
(long pause) "No, no I don't." (continue to stare blankly)
"Oh." (drops head dejectedly)

Ah, memories...

We all mustn't forget the bend and snap either! (Legally Blonde...good movie~!)

[shadowomyn]

My problem is that I never know when I'm being flirted with.

Well, unless you count that time that a woman came over to me while I was sitting (waiting for my turn at the pool table), said, "don't hit me" and proceded to sit in my lap and kiss me.

She was a good kisser.

Other than that, brick walls and entire buildings have to fall on my head before I catch a clue.

My flirting technique (which has never worked, btw), is to smile and run away.

[Lindy]

Eh, the mystery of flirting..

I am a silly flirt. I try to make jokes but basically end up making a complete ass out of myself. Well, as long as I get some laughs and make the girl of my affection smile it's all good I guess.. right? Smiles are good right??

And as soon as it gets serious.. ,more than just flirty, I either shy away or get so cought up, I lose all common sense.

And flirting on a daily basis with both genders.. well, it's lots fo fun and is good for one's self-esteem. So I've heard ..

[Underneathherclothes]

I think this is so funny I have to post.
Hum, let me think, flirting techniques, well i find if you get up, real close in someones face, wave manically and stick out your tongue...you get slapped in the face.
So, I'd have to go with that 'I really like you' look, you know the look, where your eyes sorta bulge out and your mouth kinda puckers up?
No? Okay then (Winonna Ryder getting into the taxi) i'll be over here.

I found RG's flirting experiences really funny... and most of the others pretty hilarious at some point. I've not really flirted before. But there's this one girl, I decided to check out her sexual orientation to see what chances I had with her, well... this happened: picked her up from her house, went to the movies (i had tickets), lunch (I gallantly treated), another movie(i had more tickets), shopping... and by the time dinner came around(I gallanyly bought that too)... I asked her if she had a boyfriend. I got a blank look from her. A really blank look. No expression... nothing. I didn't dare to ask about if she had a girlfriend. I chickened out. Plus getting a blank look is scary, it's like she got possessed or something.

[theatremouse]

so, if a girl wants to buy me ice cream, does so, and when questioned as to why she appears to be staring through me says she was "looking at the bridge of my nose" when asked why "because it's cute", do ya think she's into me?
thoughts? anyone?

peace.

[LiangFeng]

Um...nose fetish? Sorry, I just saw Mr. Deeds. lol

[theatremouse]

havnt seen mr. deeds. dont get it. oh well. yes, but does anyone have a nose fetish? i've never encountered such a thing before....fascinating things to come.
hopefully.
<shrugg>

peace out.

[the vamp nurd]

My own thing is not to fall on my ass. *ouch*.
Talking about W/T helps too. You can have some real fun...
*giggles*.

[slayer747]

grr.. i know i got some of the flirting things covered, but when it comes to this one girl... argh! i can't even make a single sentence without them sounding like just a couple of juggled consonants... i like her a lot... what do i do?

[thegirlwiththecurl]

Slayer 747, as a fellow verbal disaster area, I've found just really concentrating on what she's saying and answering her direct questions is a good start. As you relax, your verbal skill should return.

It is soooo much easier to flirt with people you are entirely uninterested in...

I babble, make sarcastic quips about everyone and everything until the woman I'm attracted to says something directly to me. This renders me speechless, so much so that everybody starts asking me if I'm alright...not good, not good at all.

[Soul Unity]

Useing this sure fire method I once got a cute girl to spent the whole day with me!

This happend when I was 16 years old.

I was out rideing my bicyle when I saw the girl of my dreams
I rode over and introduced myself. just as she was about to give her name , I rode eye first into a pole sticking out of a nearby dumpster. I fell off the bike hitting my head on the ground.
the last thing I remember before passing out,Is telling her "I'm ok, really" I awoke in the hospital with a blackeye and a concussion at 11:45 that night. My dream girl was there.
She had waited all day
She said she wanted to make sure I was ok before she left.
we talked for a few minnutes and then she left.
Inever got her name and I never saw her again.

Damn I'm good

[Loco2]

soul unity; that was really sweet of her, sorry you never got a name

i mainly just......erm....hit her. we hit each other a lot, and i wasn't meant to write hit [b:fff6f9b081] on[/b:fff6f9b081]. we wrestle. eh, at least it means we get to lie on each other a lot. *sigh* i want a girlfriend, dammit!

Hmmm. I tend to be in the camp of people who don't know they're being flirted with. But here's a flirting technique I was recently on the receiving end of:

1. Tell your lesbian co-worker (who knows you are bi) that you are trying to decide whether to leave your boyfriend to go out with another guy. Get her to buy you three cosmopolitans.

2. Spend the first two drinks talking about the guy.

3. When you get to the third drink, bat your eyes a bunch and pull a bait and switch, announcing that who you REALLY have the crush on is HER.

4. Then, let her girlfriend drive you home.

I never even saw it coming.

[Loco2]

hah hah, tulipp, that's great. highly amusing. bravo.

[slayer747]

ok... next time i see her... i'll try to concentrate and to keep my cool and avoid the never-ending consonant sounds. i actually wanted to approach her when i saw her yesterday but a bunch of her friends showed up. i never got the timing right...dammit!

[Arat Sevol Wolliw]

I'm pretty outspoken so usually, if i have something to say, boom, it's out. I've also never really had any problem with a speech impediment . . . well until I used to joke around with my friends. I'd talk about Tara, and quote Buffy quotes and talk about 'wishing' i had a stutter like her. Well, I joked SO much, that it kinda stuck. I'm mostly over it now but whenever I talk to the girl I like on the phone or in person my stutter comes on STRONG. It's like I doubt every word that comes out of my mouth. She laughs and thinks it's cute, so I guess it's not all bad is it?

Edited because I can't stand even the tiniest of tiny typos

[slayer747]

my friend thinks it's cute as well (the stuttering) well, all i can say is, she is not the one who constatly has to smack her head with her own hand to let the words come out so, yeah, i think to her, it's cute.



so guys, do you think this line will work:
"hi. i just want to tell you that you have the most amazing smile in the world."

i'm thinking of telling her by september 19th.

[vix84]

Wow this thread makes me smile knowingly. There's a girl in my uni tutorial from Norway (she's here for a couple of years...I have a bit of time) who is seriously dream-woman material.

She's beyond beautiful, really smart, funny and incredibly nice! And the niceness is a problem, because at least 5 guys are now after her (having interpreted the niceness as something else...kinda like I did ). But sometimes I see her look at me and hope that those looks might mean something. I've spoken to her before, but I'm usually too busy staring at her perfect face to say anything too meaningful.

*Sigh* If only I dared ask her out to coffee...hmm, maybe the day before she leaves the country

[sparrow]

Never really know if someone is flirting with me or not. I am the true definition of clueless

[fredric modlic]

i can totally get the confusion thing, like i misinterpret the niceness thing all the time. it's really aggrevating, & my technique is about as a effective as sitting on a fire (&just as painful)(i know that was a crappy little analagy but it was all i could come up with)
effectively my method is acting like a friend (obviously doesn't get you very far) but i'm not forward enough to be any more direct, yes i am very blessed with my flirting techniques www.ezboard.com/intl/aeng...ohwell.gif

[slayer747]

i'm prettysure she knows that i like her already, but i thinks she's in denial about it... hmmm... guess my next technique will just include saying it blatantly in front of her...

[bicola(d)]

I'm terrible at flirting, instead i say extremly stupid things. And i mean really cringe worthy things

There was this one time where i was sitting on a coach next to a girl who i had (and still do) have an enormous crush on. Well i was really nervous and a started to babble to my friend who was sitting opposite me. Whilst attempting to be vaguely humorus and charming, i was in rather an comfortable postion. My crush had her knees bent towards mine and being the shy and embarrassed person i am sat on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately this meant i was now sitting on a large handle knob thingy, y'know the one that reclines the seat. My friend saw my pained expression and said "Are you okay", and since i was in nervous babble mode i replied <b>" How would you feel with a knob between your legs?"</b>

I was so embarrassed, infact I'm blushing right now.

Anyway, i often prefer to charm my crush( even though i think she is a screaming hetrosexual) from afar. At the moment im making a compilation of songs that remind me of her and maybe if i have the guts, i will place it somewhere where she can find it.

*sigh* I'm such a geek

[Sweetjane]

it seems i can be the most charming , witty and articulate (and modest) person the whole world as long as i don't actually wanna get it on with the person i am speaking to . i am struck by the curse most of the time whereby when i come into contact with hot laydees (note my witty use of urban slang) my mind reverts to my 3 year old self and i tend to have nothing interesting to say except babble like an idiot and fall over my shoes ( i wouldn't mind , but i'm always wearing them at the time).

nothing says [b:24013254a6] "i'm sexually potent and interested in you , please take me home" [/b:24013254a6] like falling over on ones ass and screaming like a drag queen on crack.

but when i'm in a brave mood , and for some reason do not fall over , i am a master of the [b:24013254a6] half - smile - eye -contact-raising-of -an-eyebrow[/b:24013254a6] technique. i invented it you know. yup.

right i'm gonna go somewhere and practice not falling over myself .

"i think i can.....i think i can...."

You mean there's actually a technique to flirting? Wow... I guess subtly just isn't really my strong point. Used to be I'd just kind of sit there stupidly when I tried to talk to a guy I "liked" then I realized - "Well maybe that's because you're trying to force flirting because you don't really like them, moron!"

After that I would just do lots of touching, sitting in girl's laps, hugging. Just a very tactile person, I guess... [img:79762aa85f]http://216.40.241.68/contrib/ruinkai/biggrinangelA.gif[/img:79762aa85f] And, of course if that can't be done for some reason, like say a table between you or a teacher glaring at the room - lots of eye contact and smiling. I'm just generally very flaunty. It does get me lots of hugs though..

[littlebrowneyes]

I tend to flirt by accident. The blushing, the bad jokes, the come-and-go eye contact. I have absolutely no game.

But if someone's flirting with me, they had better be blunt, because I can be incredibly dense. When I was in NYC one summer, I was just coming to terms with my sexuality and it seemed like every woman around me was voluptuous, sophisticated, vibrant, gay, and flirting with me. Unless, of course, they actually were, in which case I would instantly assume I had misinterpreted everything. I've grown into myself since then, but nonetheless...if you're flirting with me, you may want to put it in writing.

So writing amorous intentions on a paper plane and then flying it across the room towards you would work?
