I'm becoming interested in men, and I'm unsure how to flirt exactly. Any tips or tricks like way that I can flirt with other guys to see if they're interested?
Are they guys you know that like other guys? If not, be careful. Flirt exactly how you would with a lady.
Hi, When I first began 'searching' for a prospective boyfriend, I was thinking a lot about the same thing, what I am 'supposed' to say or do, if I like some guy. But I have recently realized that the real way to connect with guys is to just act naturally, to show that you like them - even just as a friend, is good, because if they are gay and like you back, you are still going in a good direction with that, know what I mean? Last week I just randomly met two guys in this way, on different occasions I mean, and I didn't flirt as such, I was just naturally myself, although with the second guy I think he must have caught on, by the way in which I was smiling and laughing at his jokes, that I liked him. He didn't seem to mind either, which was quite enlivening, to put it mildly So thus far, I don't think you need to be anything other than your natural self, just flow with the situation and have fun talking and meeting guys, whether they are gay or straight, there is always bound to be one who likes you back, at some stage.
Honestly, there isn't a foolproof way to flirt. Flirting will come naturally with practice. I used to be painfully awkward at it, and I still am to an extent, but I get better each time I embarrass the shit out of myself. I am very good at telling if guys are interested in me though. Here's what I look for: 1) Eye contact. I really cannot stress how important this is. This is the number 1 thing that will grab my attention. You just need to make sure they aren't serial killer eyes. 2) Smiling at me 3) Often being in the same area as me a lot even when there are plenty of other places to be. These aren't foolproof ways of telling if someone is into you, but I consider them pretty good indications.
1. Research "Duchenne smile". 2. Practice your smiling, both with mouth and eyes and only with eyes. Read point 1. 3. Acquire target! 4. Gaze into said target using what you've learned. 5. Judge the reaction of said target. Does he blush, does he quickly look away, does he hold eye contact with a smile or without a smile? 6. Wear a condom.
This. Something that will get them to notice if they're interested, but something that they probably will dismiss if they're straight.
I honestly feel like I just start taking things platonic and get to know the person a bit more, because flirting as a gay person can be intimidating and even dangerous if the other person is straight and you don't know.
I like to flirt, I find it so "easy" and "natural" to me but just not to straight men. I know there's a barrier there and I don't intend on breaking that barrier. However, I only flirt online. You should, maybe, practice first until you know how you would like to flirt.
Lol. DAT last one... I really appreciate all the suggestions! I never really knew how to flirt with girls either. I understand that it is risky because straight guys might be offended, so I'll be careful and just smile. Making eye contact is VERY difficult for me, especially if it's someone cute, but I'll try my best to work on it. Again, I'm grateful that you all took the time to help me out. Love you guys
