A Quick Guide to Flirting

Open with a question, compliment, or both.
A question is immediately engaging, and helps you connect to the other person more quickly. Bonus points if you can pair it with a compliment. For example, you might ask: “I love that shirt, where’d you get it?” or, “I’ve been working up the guts to come say hi. Do you come here often?” A little humor sprinkled on top is the icing on the cake.

Ask them about themself.
When you’re flirting, it’s important to let the other person know that you’re genuinely interested in them and want to get to know them. Once you’ve introduced yourself, asking them casual questions about themself is both flattering and polite. You might ask them what they do for work, what their favorite spot in town is, or something about their day that’s made them happy. When they answer, ask follow-up questions or provide your own answer to the question to make an even deeper connection.

Make eye contact.
Eye contact is crucial to making the other person feel comfortable and at ease. It shows them that you’re comfortable, yourself, and that it’s a friendly, well-meaning interaction. That said, it’s important to match their energy. If they don’t seem to want to make eye contact, don’t push it, but do keep glancing their way and checking in. Just be sure they’re not avoiding eye contact because they’re uncomfortable, in which case, it’s best to end the interaction.

Keep your body language friendly and open.
Sit or stand straight, and keep your shoulders loose and angled toward them. Don’t hunch or stoop your neck, which can make you seem closed off. Also, keep your hands out of your pockets. In a pinch, holding a drink gives you something to do with those hands. Also, give the other person plenty of personal space. It’s alright to lean in or come closer if things are going well, but only if you’ve got the green light.

Stay respectful.
Above all, give the other person the respect and consideration they deserve. Avoid commenting on their body, or going overboard with compliments about their looks. Keep your hands to yourself unless they move closer. And if they ever appear uncomfortable, take a step back and reel it in. You won’t get anywhere flirting with someone who doesn’t want it, so excuse yourself and move on to other things if that’s the case. Respect is the best form of flirting!

Ask for their number, or another meeting. Once it’s time to part ways, make sure you have some way of contacting them. You might say, “I’ve really enjoyed our conversation, can I give you my number so we can continue?” or, “Will I see you around here again sometime?” Giving them your number (instead of asking for their number) puts the ball in their court and makes sure they walk away from the interaction feeling comfortable and not pressured, which ups your chances of a second date!
