Men appreciate the art of flirting just as much as women do. There’s a truth that men take flirting just as seriously as women, and they love the subtle dance as much as we do. So, if you don’t quite know how to flirt with a guy, here are five techniques no man can resist. Try them out the next time a good looking man catches your eye.
1. Playfully tease him
Gently poke fun and laugh. Never act like a ditz, but do playfully tease. Men bond with each other this way, so his feelings won’t get hurt.
“I love it when a girl rips on me. Be playful and entertaining. You want to keep things upbeat.” —Nick, 25
2. Find him interesting
Engage him in a conversation and actually listen to what he says. A good rule is to ask as many questions as you answer. You won’t earn points by trying to trump his IQ (or anyone else’s) with your own, but it also won’t hurt to offer some open-minded insight into the topic he raised.
“I hate it when I talk to a girl and I feel like she isn’t really listening to anything I say. Almost like she’s just pausing and waiting to talk again.” —Brian, 29
3. Compliment his physique
Give him the eye and ask, “What’s your workout regime? You look great.” Feel a bit cliché? Maybe. But while most men don’t spend hours in front of the mirror beating themselves up because they don’t look like David Beckham, when it comes to his body, flattery will get you everywhere.
“I know I’m not the best-looking dude. But if a girl compliments my arms or says it looks like I take care of myself, or anything really, then I know it’s working for her, and that’s all that matters.” —Ivan, 33
4. Use subtle touching
No man can resist being touched, so you should lightly touch his arm, leg or the small of his back. But don’t be too forceful. A simple light touch his arm when you laugh at his joke is all that’s needed to let him know you’re interested, ladies. Don’t paw all over the poor guy.
