The Fine Line
Flirting is an art form that takes practice. Too little and you're invisible. Too much and you're scary. Finding that sweet spot requires reading social cues and respecting boundaries.
Start with light, playful conversation. Notice how they respond. Do they lean in, make eye contact, laugh at your jokes? These are good signs. Do they look away, give one-word responses, check their phone? That's your cue to back off.
Compliments Work
Specific compliments beat generic ones every time. "You have a great sense of style" hits different than "you're pretty." Focus on things they chose or have control over.
