Flirting is fun. But it doesn’t have to be mysterious. Here are three main ways to flirt wtih women.

You can say something flirty in a proactive manner.

You can wait for them to do something or say something that you have a pre-planned response for.

And you can bait them into doing something that will set up one of your pre-planned responses.

Here are some examples of each:

ACTIVE FLIRTING: This is the most direct method. You simply take the initiative and do something flirtatious. For instance, you could bump into her, or give her a certain look, or play with innuendos. You take a chance when you’re direct, though. If your flirting is cheesy, it can come off as canned. But if she’s in the right frame of mind it can show an attractive kind of confidence.

PASSIVE FLIRTING: Passive flirting is great, because it appears spontaneous. A man who is great with passive flirting shows signs of having a very sharp mind. Here’s how you do it: you prepare responses to dozens of common things that women say and do. And then you wait for them to say or do them. Then you act like you just came up with a great response off the top of your head. Here’s an example from Swinggcat: suppose a girl bumps into you accidentally, you can respond by saying “Owww, you hurt me. Now you’re going to have to drive me to the hospital . . .”.

TWO-STEP FLIRTING: Suppose you have a line prepared for when a woman bends down to tie her shoe or pick something up off the floor. And suppose when she does that you plan to say “Oh, I don’t require people to bow down before me anymore”. But suppose she hasn’t bent down in front of you yet. You can wait and hope you have a chance to say your flirty line. Or you can set things up. How would you set things up so she bends down in front of you? Well you could secretly take something of hers off the table and put it on the floor, and when she notices and bends down to pick it up, then you could deliver your line.

Those are three great ways to engage a woman in playful banter. You can read more about all of them in the “Flirting Deconstructed”.
