Teach me how to flirt!

[Stepharoonie!]

Just bat your eyes at someone Hehehehe

I think its possible to meet someone online, so I disagree with the posters who say to just turn off the computer and go meet people in the real world. It's just not that easy for some people and they are more comfortable opening up online rather than face to face. It's better to start where you are comfortable, whether that place is in a bar or a place like the DIS. Avoid pickup lines, though. Good luck with it.

One last thought.

"Desperation" is a huge "turn-off." JMHO.

 

[Kallison]

Just keep posting those butt pictures

Hey Vamp.....
It's just like I told you a couple of weeks ago.....
You have GOT to change that pic of yourself if you want to convince us that you really are "cute" (like it says in your sig).
Maybe a fresh new pic of yourself SMILING would do the trick.

ITA...your pic is creepy AND your attitude around here isn't all that great. Stop being conceited. Women don't like that for sure!

I do think flirting can be done on the net, but I don't think it's the best place to pick someone up.

I don't know much about flirting in the year 2004--I've been happily married for 10 years now and I imagine flirting was different back then; there wasn't really even any internet to flirt on yet! So no tips from me. But I wanted to say that I looked at the link in your post and I think you sound like a very intelligent and sincere young man. Just be patient and don't try too hard; you and the right lady will find each other in due time!

Vamp, rather than concentrating your efforts on the DIS, why not try some dating sites? If you're uncomfortable, or just unlucky, in meeting women off of the computer-it may be a good way to start. I've never used one, but I know they exist.
Another fun thing is myspace.com, or friendster.com. They're sites for friends to stay connected, but you can also meet people through them.
Give them a shot--but as some others suggested--stay away from conceit and desperation, those aren't qualities most women look for. Just be yourself. Flirting doesn't have to me "Hey baby...I lost my number...can I have yours?" Your better off with noticing something about someone interest-wise. If you try one of the dating sites-I know they list interests...strike up a conversation about things you have in common, or even things you don't.
Cheer up, and be yourself...

The biggest thing to remember is that if you concentrate on flirting then it just comes acorss as creepy and weird. Be YOURSELF!

Yep.... don't emulate Ross (from Friends) please. It DOES come across as creepy & weird if you try too hard.


(sidenote- if that is your picture in your sig line- how old are you? I must be middle aged- you look too young to really be on a DISboard wanting to learn how to flirt. You look like a teen- on the DISboard to find someone?!?)

There you go...look up all of Knight's posts!

I think Vampheartless is putting us all on... He apparently knows Jolie, so he's obviously a much better flirt than me!!

Hmmm...36! I put that more with middle age than young. Young is 20s and early 30s in my book. LOL! You're not that far away, Pam!

Well I have met people online, and romantic interest. Was engaged to one guy so I do believe you can find someone online because you are more apt to open up. But you must see each other and take it from there. You can't rely on the net. I did do a couple of those dating sites and they are ok. You do meet some cool people, if nothing else you have a good chat. I had coffee with a couple and we talked. A few of us still are friends. You can just meet people for friends too. If your new to an area it is a great way to find them near you.

Flirting though is something I don't think I'm good at. I do flirt but maybe guys just don't like it. Identify with anything she says though, honestly, not made up. If she says something about her brother ask her if she is older or younger. If you have sibling then tell a cute funny short story. Make her laugh, we girls LOVE that stuff. I hate bars so I would say steer clear because many times just people looking for alternative ideas and usually liquored up. NOT ALL but a large majority and that can effect first impressions. I find grocery stores later at night are more filled with single people. And you can ask a girl for her advice on anything, say your cooking dinner and want her input.

I was never a good flirt

 

[Planogirl]

Since the tag fairy thought that I had the "hots" for you at one point, I thought that I would comment. Even though I'm middle-aged , I vaguely remember this flirting stuff.

I agree that you should be yourself and also show anyone that catches your attention that you're interested in what she has to say. That interest is one of the biggest turn-ons that I can remember.

Jolie says that I should totally get on the DIS and flirt up a storm because there is tons of single girls on here!

Now see, I totally disagree with Jolie. (with all due respect to Jolie, of course. )

I think you should totally get OFF the DIS and flirt up a storm because there are single girls OUT there!

You're in college right? Get off the computer, go mingle. You don't need to be a flirt to find a girlfriend -- some people are natural flirts, some aren't. If you don't like smalltalk and b.s.ing, find someone else who feels the same way! I'm thinking that there is going to be someone just for you out there! Its a cliche, but I will reiiterate what others have said - Be You! :sunny

Good luck!

It happens everywhere

Online, at work, in the store, stopped at a red light

It's just human nature

 

[Disney01]

Okay, Parmstrong here, and I agree with you Pinwizard...I am approaching "middleage" that's why I put my age in when I said too many young people...Meaning I'm not one of them!!!

I do know a lot of romances on the computer, but here??? It seems a strange place for a college guy to look. I agree with what other posters have said, there are better sites for that.

Easy, just offer 'em a smoke!
