Am I good at flirting?

I took a quiz that indicated I have natural charm. However, there's a guy who likes me, and I feel like I might be unintentionally leading him on. How can I stop this from happening?

If you're a natural flirt and think you might be leading a guy on, limit how much you're texting him and interacting with him. Keep your convos short and to the point, and avoid sending flirty emojis or touching him in a flirty way. Try to hang out in groups rather than one-on-one.

When you're together, subtly name-drop your crush or mention that you're interested in someone else. If he tries to flirt with you, redirect the conversation to a different topic to show you're not interested. Or, simply state that you'd like to stay friends but aren't interested in a romantic relationship.

I think there's a way to be subtle without hurting people's feelings. So make sure that you're not sending mixed messages by holding their hand or touching them on the shoulder playfully, or anything like that. Make sure that you feel that the relationship reads as strictly platonic. If need be, you can make it clear by saying, "I'm so happy to have you as a friend in my life, and you mean a lot to me." Just make it clear that you feel that they are a friend of yours.
