Flirting as a shy or socially awkward person can feel like the most daunting task in the world for many. However, it’s possible! With the right tips, you can give a guy the right signals that let them know you’re interested. How can you effectively engage in the art of subtle communication to capture his attention initially?
1. Follow him on social media
This isn’t desperate or thirsty; in fact, it’s the best way to get noticed without needing to do anything in person. It indicates interest and lets him check you out and see if you have similar people in your network. Once he follows you back, he won’t just realize that you exist, but he’ll get to see how adorable you are and will be hooked!
2. Wear something noticeable
In nature, this is called peacocking. Start that courtship process by standing out with how you dress. If you don’t want to draw attention to yourself in a verbal way, dress uniquely with some looks that make you feel sexy and confident. Don’t blend in with the crowd—rock your own style, and the boys (including your crush) will soon be staring at you as you walk by.
3. Spend time in the same circles or at the same places
If you know he’ll be at a party, go with your friends and find an excuse to talk to each other. The more you’re around him, the more you’ll be on his radar and the more opportunities there will be for some smoldering eye contact and flirty conversations.
4. Perfect your flirty smile
If you catch them looking, it may be easy to get mortified. But flashing your most charming smile is the best way to get noticed. In fact, you’ll probably get a smile back. A smile can transform someone’s face and make them so much more striking, so go for it and smile! Don’t be afraid to practice this with people who aren’t your crush.
