Cautions

You may not feel comfortable with everything on the list of 101 ways to flirt, but some of the ideas may work for you. Be careful to watch for signs that the person you are flirting with is not interested. Sometimes engaging in an obvious method of flirting, such as a corny pickup line or asking for a phone number, is the fastest and most direct approach to flirting.

The Importance of Comfort and Consent

Flirting can quickly become harassment when the recipient doesn’t want to engage in flirting. Look for signs of discomfort like looking away, nervous laughter, or trying to walk away. If the other person seems uncomfortable, stop with the flirting attempts. It’s appropriate to apologize – but only if it’s genuine and not a passive-aggressive statement designed to downplay the other person’s feelings.

Expertly Flirting

Remember that the goal of flirting is to have fun, not necessarily pick up on someone. Learning the art of flirting can make it possible for a new relationship to begin or add fire to an existing one.
