So be brave, be super friendly and just maybe Mr. Right feels the same was as you and will be relieved that you made the first move.<br /><br />Andy found a good way to ask out was, I'm going to go to... wanna come along. If he wants to be friends then it'll be two friends hanging out. If he wants more the ball is in his court... I know THE BALL. But hey, that's what you want is to be chased... right? (Isn't that what every girl wants?)E McLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17533460087188901432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-44620164059160362602010-10-28T13:22:27.622-04:002010-10-28T13:22:27.622-04:00The only way I ever got any and I mean any of my b...The only way I ever got any and I mean any of my boyfriends was because I was a big flirt. I really believe in being aggressive when dating. It's always worked well for me.<br /><br />I'm not saying you do this, I'm just speaking in general, but I think it's crazy when girls don't do any of the pursuing and just sit around wondering why they aren't getting asked out. It has to go both ways. I think the female should put as much effort (more in my case) as the dude.Pollzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343447628139920769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-58563907921482919022010-10-28T03:08:12.524-04:002010-10-28T03:08:12.524-04:00I was never really a flirt or willing to try that ...I was never really a flirt or willing to try that hard until I found a guy I knew I wanted to work for, so I did!

Most guys who are not cover model gorgeous are just happy ANY girl is interested in them and seem to appreciate any flirting or niceness.<br />If nothing else boosts your confidence their general gratitude should. :) <br />Of course....I am married and I may have lost touch with reality. Maybe just my husband is grateful for attention.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517747321455561159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-31659911049593406362010-10-27T17:16:57.086-04:002010-10-27T17:16:57.086-04:00In my experience, the confident guys who know thei...In my experience, the confident guys who know their stuff like doing the work anyway. But since I really liked shy/geeky guys, they were more than happy to let me take the lead. <br /><br />In one relationship, I think I texted my geekfriend after 6 weeks of flirting and dates something to the effect of "So, how about coming over to my apartment to kiss me?" That worked for us - but he was the one to ask for my number and ask me out in the first place. <br /><br />Most of the time though, if I ever singled out a guy that I liked, all I'd do was invite him to hang out with my friends and I. If you both like each other, you'll find ways to pair off and disappear together. <br /><br />Dating is like dancing. Every partner is different and you'll do best if you learn how to respond to each.Feihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289385334453931872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-13514889077521277512010-10-27T16:11:46.189-04:002010-10-27T16:11:46.189-04:00Ask Ryan- I was super bold.

I asked him out, and then STRESSED about it for DAYS because I asked him out via email while he was on vacation, and he didn't use his out of office reply. Sometimes you see something/someone you have to have, and you have to go after it/him. So glad I did that. <br /><br />Also, I approached him first to introduce myself at a meeting (a couple months before I asked him out). Had NO CLUE what I was going to say, and thankfully, I figured out like 2 seconds before I said anything was that I worked for his older brother, so at least had something intelligent to start off with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624297955496298110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-50713140146582973612010-10-27T16:05:16.062-04:002010-10-27T16:05:16.062-04:00Yeah, I'm pretty terrible at "serious&quo...Yeah, I'm pretty terrible at "serious" flirting, too. I enjoy playful flirting, but when it comes to being real, I feel ridiculous. <br />I'm with you on costumes. I feel like I've come up with some good ones in the past, but this year, I'm blanking, and also thinking about going to one of my fall-backs! I'm very excited about the spooky would you rather this Friday!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421409632244031191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-26914714880140305442010-10-27T12:34:25.048-04:002010-10-27T12:34:25.048-04:00My family motto growing up (yes, I'm serious) ...My family motto growing up (yes, I'm serious) was "Be Bold and Stupid" and that stuck with me, especially in terms of flirting. I remember reciting it to myself as I was trying to work up the nerve to ask a guy to dance at a high school dance. It worked, and I never looked back! :)Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-59259849414121487682010-10-27T10:27:51.981-04:002010-10-27T10:27:51.981-04:00I don't flirt.
