How do you usually flirt with girls?

It differs from guy to guy, but personally, I try to make them smile or laugh. If we feel comfortable with each other, I might brush by her or put a hand on her back as I walk by. I make lots of eye contact. I find myself frequently gravitating toward them. I go out of my way to talk to them. I might tease them. I don’t know. I might compliment a choice that they made (e.g. nails, hair, specific article of clothing, etc.). Any kind of interaction, really. I just want it to be regularly recurring uplifting interaction.
But too obvious is no fun for me. I try to keep it a curiosity for some time and watch how it grows. Sometimes it’s fast. If it’s fast, it’s often a sign that the rest will be fast, for me anyway. Sometimes it’s slow. Just depends on the vibe. I actually kind of like it slow because if she ends up being the one, then it might very well be the last time I ever get to savor those initial butterflies.
No, I’d call that creepy.
I”m French so I open with “Bonjour” in a deep voice, smile then make small talk.
“Yes ma’am” could be just a response. I say “yes sir” and “yes mam” a lot to strangers. I do use it sometimes not to flirt but to show a little extra sign of respect to you. On the other hand, “ma” can be.
I think it really depends on the context and delivery.
Sounds like he’s just Southern, where it’s expected that you address people with respect unless you’re close.
I look her dead in the eyes and Dwerk to assert dominance over the other males in the vicinity. Then I let out my natural male mating call.
Works 75% of the time.
I don’t.
I don’t know anymore, man. I don’t know what the line between flirting and being nice is anymore.
PFT bold of you to think I can flirt.
but out of all the things I would consider flirting, I wouldn’t say ma’am is along those lines. If you are older or a position of power he’s probably just being polite.
I just ask a bunch of questions with enthusiasm, and occasionally make fun of them for their answers.
Depends on the girls comfort level
It’s been a while since I flirted with girls, flirting with my partner is pretty much just a balance of being silly and intimate.
But back then, I mostly used eye contact and body language. Smiles, eyes, laughs and knowing when and how it’s desired to place a hand on her shoulder or place it just above the knee. Speaking when flirting is not really needed
Ma’am, are you his boss or something?
For me it’s attention. So for example if I try to linger in conversation then chances are that I want your attention. I also do try to bring a smile to her face either by teasing her or by making jokes.
I don’t, my wife wouldn’t like that.
just don’t be lecherous
