Flirting Made Easy

For some reason, our generation seems to decide that they want to make flirting and dating one of the most awkward and painful experiences of our lives. In reality guys, it shouldn’t be that hard!

-Just say hey!

First off, a simple smile, wave, or an audible greeting never hurt anyone. No one is gonna turn around and be like ew don’t say hi to me…that’s just inhuman. A simple greeting just to get yourself noticed is all it takes.

-Strike up a conversation.

Find something that doesn’t sound like a pick up line to talk about. If they’re in your class, talk about how much you hate the TA or how that last test was so complicated. It’ll jump start a real conversation that could actually go somewhere. And if they don’t seem responsive then maybe they aren’t interested and you can move along before you get too obsessed.

-Ask them to hang out.

Start with something simple. Wanna get coffee? Or what are you doing before the game? Let’s meet up. An easy public hang out is a good way to get to know each other in a less awkward setting.

-If you like them, TELL THEM.

We worry so much about what’s gonna happen if we say it, that we never actually do. Grow up and just let them know. “You know, I think I’m really starting to like you” or if you’re more of a sarcastic joker then throw in a “I guess you’re not so bad” with a smile. A simple sentence that speaks volumes. It shouldn’t be so hard to say.

We all need to calm down and realize everyone is dealing with the same butterflies and the same little crushes. We’re all in the same boat, and if you get rejected once or twice or even a billion times, don’t give up all hope. Maybe you aren’t looking in the right place, or maybe you’re just looking too hard. Relax, what’s meant to be great will come to you in time.
