Re: Flirting help.
 
What kind of girl is she? Outgoing, shy, popular, has dated lots of guys, etc. etc? In general I'd say try to hang out with her as friends first. Joke around and let her know you're a nice guy, give her a few compliments, but don't over do it either.

Girls don't like "bad boys". Well that's not true... They do, but that's not the kind of guy you bring home for dinner. The key really is to just be yourself, though. If you make up some elaborate ploy to win her heart, you can't keep it up forever and she'll find out.

Besides, you're young. High school relationships are like cookies. Tasty, but they don't last very long usually http://forums.filefront.com/images/smilies/winkx.gif

Well shes not the hottest girlin school but i would pick her over the hottest girl in school if i could pick. Shes got a great personality, Shes not shy but she is in some things, she hasnt dated meny guys seriously.
I started talking to her more than usual than before, she like to joke around and that kind of stuff. I just got that feeling like I love her but we never went out lol.

Lol...high school romance. Yep, Inyri gives good advice - be yourself, because you want to end up with a girl that likes you for who you are. One of the keys to a successful relationship is really communicating with one another.

Re: Flirting help.
 
I'm in the same boat, in a way. Girl seems to like you, smiles a lot, asks lots of questions, etc.
I try to just be myself, try to be nice, to drop a compliment here and there but to not seem stalker-like in your appreciation of her. I think too much of a fondness can appear to be creepy. :p

FactionRecon May 17th, 2005 05:13 PM

Re: Flirting help.
 
Depends on the girl really. She may be more into the "subtle" kind where you just give her a few smiles from across the room, make eye contact a lot, or she may be the type who can respond more to the "physical messing around" type of flirting.

Yeah, that's how it works. :rolleyes: What if you're the kind that women don't find attractive? Everybody acts weather they realize it or not. We all act. Some of female attraction even lies in acting and teasing. The worse advice ever made and that always seem to surface is "be yourself". Hog wash! The only way it can work in the long run is being yourself but doing so puts you at great risk of spend your life lonely if you're not lucky or the kind of guy naturally that women falls for.

:agreed

Be yourself after you've got past the first few waypoints. The initiation stage is all about scoring points -- score enough, and you're through to the next round! Human mating rituals are the biggest farce on the face of the Earth. Even politics don't compare. 'Be yourself' is all fine and dandy if you're married; you're past the stupid rituals, then. But you never saw a peacock pull a bird ( :D ) just by lying around sleeping and watching sport on satellite TV, did you? No, you've got to spread your feathers and waggle your arse in their face -- or, something to that effect.

Of course, the 'be yourself' thing does apply to a certain extent. Don't tell her you're an astronaut who used to be a Formula 1 racing driver or something stupid like that.

And they wonder why there are so many divorces nowadays...
The thing is you're in school, you don't have to worry about whether you'll spend the rest of your life lonely at that stage, romance in school is all about having fun not sticking on the spit and pol. You won't enjoy pretending to be someone else for an extended amount of time, and he's just in school, there's no reason to be in it for anything other than enjoyment.

We know you've got feelings, the thing is in most cases you aren't going to be spending the rest of your life with this person, you've got too unstable a personality at that age for it to be really practical.

Well of course, even I know that I'm not going to get married to my current girlfriend. That's just ignorant to think. But it never hurt to have a little fun while we still can, right? It's not as if it'd be a BAD idea to get intimate with someone you're not going to marry. Big deal.

If yo notice she looks at you, you should just stare at her til she sees you staring, then look away, I get this sometimes, and it seems to sorta work.
Oh, and if she (admin edit: lose the drug talk mmmk? Your not cool), be all like, hey, i have ten, wanna match at lunch? it works.

Above all have confidence with yourself.
Find out what she likes and talk about that, try not to talk about yourself ;)
Show interest in her.

Do not look away when talking to her, look her straight in the eye, and try to smile.
Just act natural and not like a fake and you should be fine.

What? I really don't understand what you just said.

If you're saying that being a boyfriend requires faking intimacy with a girl, then obviously you've had some bad quality relationships. I try to be as honest and straightforward with friends and girlfriends as I can. I'm not exactly clear as to how your past relationships have gone down, but judging b your attitude they aren't in line with many other people I've witnessed.

^ Umm dude, Nemmerle said "How much fun do you think it's going to be if you're always trying to be something you're not..."

That means you're not going to have very much fun if you're trying to be someone you're not. "Being someone you're not" means trying to act like a person that you think the girl will fall for."

Does that make sense dude?

On topic: I think I dished out the compliments too much? I don't know, but I still kinda wonder where I went wrong. http://forums.filefront.com/images/smilies/bawl.gif I haven't really had a girlfriend, as sad as it is, it's my reality. http://forums.filefront.com/images/s...28frown%29.gif Maybe if I went to a regular high school I might be surrounded by a bunch of chicks that I could "go out with" or date. But I'm graduating soon, and honestly, I'm happy with the direction I took. It's not the end of the world if you don't have a girlfriend when you're in high school. You should be concentrating on school anyway. http://forums.filefront.com/images/s...rcastic%29.gif Good luck M1, cuz I know exactly what it's like to really like and care for a girl and she doesn't even know it...

Yeah, don't give out too many compliments, or ones that seem, I don't know, too intimate. Like you don't have to say, you look beautiful, more like you look nice, or pretty, especially if you don't know them well. Just try to get into the flow of a conversation if you can.

First of all, don't call me dude. I'm not a friend of yours. Second, I know what he was saying, and I adressed that in my post. Maybe you guys are all for the whole "fake to get liked" thing, but that's not how I roll. Honesty to yourself and her is key.

your in luck man cuz im a fellow redneck my self and yes i myself do know how to flirt with girls. 1st off do somthing simple with her like try to comfert her if she is having problems. thats mostly how i had gotten my gf. make sure you say hi to her every day to let her know you care about her. no need to go into long conversations just simple hi when you see her. always try to make her laugh but dont be to pervy or she might think your just to much for her. remember offer to help her out as much as posible and she will like you. :)

Iv had many gf in my life lol 8 to be right lol. Way i got them was manly being there friend at first. 5 of them i didnt even like at first and once i got to know them i started liking them and so did they. just manly be there friend and be there when they need some one. dont be there every single day thoe cause then they would know you like them or just a stalker. if they really like you they will come to you lol. so just be your self and be there friend manly. dont push it like asking for there phone number when you first met them lol. just talk like you would talk to any of your friends.

also there may be people in here that say dont be your self well be your self. because you want them to like you for who you are not a fake. if they like you for a fake and get tired of being the fake and want to be your self most likely they will leave you. specialy if you get to involved with her. always be your self not a fake.

^^^That's precisely what I just said. And by that I meant that you seemed to have this automatic negative attitude toward "young love" and I figured that maybe you'd had some bad experiences. I completely agree, faking a personality or lifestyle just to get a girl is one of the lamest (and shortest lasting) ways to get one.

Like in the middle of walking down the street try and walk her into a pole hehe, and when she asks if you where gona make her hit is say, "mabey".
I swear it will work.

At the same time be yourself, and NEVER get involved in "controversial" conversations. Its dead that night.

Re: Flirting help.
 
This is the cutest thing Ive ever seen! Takes me back.

I would say that the fact that you are shy yourself probably speaks volumes to how youll treat her, and who you are as a person.

Above all, be yourself. Ive put on an act before, cuz I knew it would get me the girl, and I felt dirty. Oh, I enjoyed the shit out of the time I spent with that gorgeous piece of.. Oh, back to topic. Yeah, dont do that man. Not if you want it to last.

If that doesnt work, give her lots of :beer: :beer: :beer:

And be SURE to compliment her. Girls love compliments, but be clever about it, things that you wouldnt think she would expect you to notice. You can bet anything about her that you like, like a piece of jewelry, or tiny tatoo above her left nipple, or maybe even just the way her hair sometimes falls into her eyes, she did that on purpose. Or if she didnt do it on purpose, she is well aware of that particular aspect of herself, and maybe even self-conscious about it (good for you, cuz you can reinforce her confidence, and make her feel better about it).

Ah, I wish I was still "playing the field" as they say. Girls are cool. The chase is half the fun you know.

Ooh snap, I have come out of retirement from this thread to point out it is for like second date usage, not pickup lines, for you all need some serious help. I would agree, simplicity works best with pick ups, IE hello's and just talking. However, after small talk is done with, heed my advice.
Teasing is one of the MOST effective ways to flirt.

"My friends all think your fat, but I think they are wrong, I like a little junk in the trunk" IT WILL WORK. Don't make it sound literal, holy shit if you all feel like you should be saying this as if it was a fucking fact you need to go for sarcasm checks.
You don't tell them they are fat, goofballs.

Its the point of not being afriad to be physical and lightly aggresive, don't be fucking whipped, they HATE that. Don't call them up and ask where they wana go, tell them, "Lets go here". If they don't want to, convince them to, either way you'll both have a good time. If you follow this, you must choose a wide variety of place to go, switch it up. Tease them, and that pole thing, don't let them hit the damn pole. Are you stupid? Joke around that you were gona let them walk into it.

Sheit. Gotta baby you all. I am gona stick around, now I am having fun.
