19. Live your best life to impress them: Step one: Care less about whether you’re ‘successful’ or not. I know it’s tough. Fake it. Feel free to widen your audience of who you want to flirt with.
Step two: Be confident. Fake this too. Pretend you’re confident. Eventually you get so good at it, you forget you’re not confident anymore.
Step three: Be interested. Listen. Eye contact. Empathize. Laugh. Don’t try to one up, and don’t try to solve their problems.
Step four: Do something fun in your life so you have something better to talk about than video games and that meme you saw on reddit.
Step 5: Be funny. No puns. Use your observational skills to point out the peculiarities and inconsistencies of life.
Step 6: Say yes when they ask you out.
20. Try to relate to what they are saying: For a gay guy, I usually just ask them where they’re from, ask about work, talk about travel. Then just laugh and try to relate to them. Then you sit close to them, pick a feature about them that you like, and compliment it. Then see how things are going, and either continue to chat or let them go if you think one of you isn’t into it. Sometimes this can be used to tease a bit, and they’ll come back and find you later.
21. Like their social media posts: By liking their Facebook posts.
22. Break the ice as early as possible: If they find you attractive it wont matter. I’m in my late 20s now, I don’t have time to waste. After some small banter back and forth I will just come right out and say, ‘Well your clearly flirting with me’ or something to that effect. Once you break that ice its so much easier.
23. Compliment something subtle about them: Dude… compliment things they’re less likely to hear. If they’re ugly compliment something you can find on their appearance. If they’re pretty steer clear of commenting on his or her attractiveness. Make them laugh and make sure you’re enjoyable to be around. Don’t be afraid to be totally candid, feel free to say how you’re nervous and aren’t used to situations like this but own it.
24. Establish physical contact: I will talk to him, and try to hang out with him more. I laugh at his jokes and I try to make him laugh as well. And when it’s possible and suitable, I will establish physical contact, like put my hand on his shoulder or on his arm. But yeah, never really work for me cause I ugly af. Make some good friend out of it though, so all in all can’t complain.
25.Just be yourself: When I was 22 and younger? Get drunk ideally and make heavy handed passes at them with occasional success. Now? I be myself and make gentle fun of myself and my surroundings then find out what they their interests are, who they be with, things that make them smile, what numbers to dial.
