I have just re-learned how to flirt again and try to apply whenever I can, just so I never get so rusty again.

I have found that it is just a friendly way to be. I am not married, nor in a relationship, nothing wrong with smiling a lot and working the flirt.

And yes...it seems to make a difference in most situations.

Flirting does not come naturally to me... I am super rusy and don't know where to start... any ideas? I have been single again for three years and I think it's time to at least start flirting... Any hints?

I really dislike this word...but it is a process. I had a hard time with it at first, because I had become cynical.

But by lightening up, building back my confidence becomes a draw of its own.

It is hard to "flirt" when you are not feeling good, sexy or open. So my answer is to focus on you, the flirt will come naturally as it should not be forced or fake.

I want to call it friendly. ;-)

Great insight! I guess you can say I am in the "cynical" stage of the process. Great advise... "just let it be" is the answer. I am going to start letting it be... thanks!

I am the last one to give advice (really)but I have to agree with Blondie, it easier to do when you have confidence. I think confidence for some might be about changing or bettering themselves. But for others confidence comes along with age, not necessarily because of experience, but with reaching a point in your life where you just don't fear or worry about the outcome. If flirting generates a positive effect, great! Nothing more is going to happen if you don't want it to. If it doesn't generate a response at all....so what! Nobody is the worse for wear for receiving a smile or wink. There are plenty of suggestions in the discussions found in this group on techniques and flirting styles that can give you an idea on how to get started. So give some of them a try and check back in with us on how it works out!

you are all sweet, thank you! I will tell you what happens...

Hi ladies,

Not sure if Im supposed to be here or not but I stumbled across this forum and Im comfertable flirting with everyone.

I work on it often and enjoy it. Theres a few young ladie around town who seem to enjoy it when I show up. One in particular barely smiled at first. Tonight I saw her and she was actually giving me a hard time.

I think Linda hit it pretty well. It does take a certain amount of confidence and basic "just dont care what they think".

A little grey in my hair and hopefully they just think Im a cute old guy. As long as they smile then Im good.

Hasnt gotten me anything other than a cute young girl smiled at me today but sometimes that a pretty good day for me...hehe

Havent flirted with any officers. I dont think he would apreciate it as much...

Be well,

Pat
