To flirt with someone you like, make eye contact, smile, and lean in a bit closer to show them that you’re interested. Don’t use cheesy pick-up lines, since they can be a huge turn-off. Instead, ask the person some questions to get to know them better, like, “What do you like to do in your free time?” or, “Doing anything fun this weekend?” You can compliment them on their appearance too by saying something like, “You have really nice eyes.” Or, be more personal and compliment them on something besides their looks, like their upbeat personality! If things are going well, don’t be afraid to briefly touch their arm or leg while you’re laughing or getting their attention.
