7 Things To Avoid When Flirting With a Guy

The art of flirting is one that takes some time if you are not a natural-born flirter. Knowing what to say or how to make a good first impression can be hard, especially when trying to flirt with a guy. Whether it be a secret crush or someone you have already made known you are into, you want to ensure that you have the right approach when interacting with him. Even though there is no exact science to flirting, having a few pointers can help you get the ball rolling. Check out these 7 things to avoid when flirting with a guy.

Don’t make fun of him.

Some people think it’s funny to make fun of other people. Furthermore, some even use bullying as a form of flirting, essentially making the other person feel bad about themselves. Kinda weird, huh? This is not a good route to take, as leading with respect and kindness will likely get you a lot farther than “negging” someone.

Don’t brag about other people who are into you.

It may seem like a good idea to use this approach from a reverse psychology perspective. But no one really wants to hear about other people that like you, or that may be into you. It may make them jealous or get you some attention, but it is leading the interaction with playing head games. Not a good start.

Don’t get too touchy-feely too soon.

If you are flirting with a guy, be sure to keep the physical contact on the back burner until later. This is especially true if you are out on the town. Physically flirting can indicate to a guy that you may be ready to get physical immediately. So unless that is your goal, you may want to refrain from that in the first interaction.
