What are some effective ways for a woman to flirt with a man?

Complimenting him on the things he does. Recognize his skills.

Look him in the eyes and look away as soon as he notices. Things like that.

Lingering eye contact, works every time, unless it’s Stevie Wonder!

Eye contact.
Catch it, drop it then hook it.

It’s all in the eyes…. Lots of eye-contact… Maintaining eye-contact slightly longer than normal, or as you are moving your head away… Making eye-contact across a room too… Add a sweet smile before you look away, and you’ll be having a ball before you know it. :-)

Yes, eye contact is important, although one can flirt anywhere, including online…keeping the ease of contact flowing with wit, humor, acceptance and a fun disposition…;)

People love the opportunity to talk about themself. Give them that opportunity. There is a balance, but it is easy to recognize.

I’m a ugly middle-aged guy and can pretty much talk to anyone for hours by getting them to talk about their life. For some reason people get turned on by being the center of attention.

Smile. Eye contact. Connection/rapport on various topics.

@johnpowell I was on Q not long ago and was extremely surprised to learn shy people don’t like talking about themselves, and dread the questions. Maybe that is why they also are less likely to ask personal questions?

Light hand contact while talking to one another or a light brush on the shoulder is always a nice gesture.

How old is the guy?
If he’s in his teens then just looking at him or talking to him is flirting.
If he’s in his 20s to 30s offering to split the check or expenses is flirting.
If he’s 40 to 50s offering to split a piece of real estate is flirting.
If he’s over 60 offering to let him be a participant on your health care plan will do it.

I’m under 60 but I still have to take a cold shower when I hear a woman is single and has the Blue Cross Blue Shield Platinum plan.

Touching a guy on the elbow while having a conversation. It could even be construed as inappropriate if done at work.

It’s all a process of reach and withdraw, then reach and withdraw again. You ‘reach’ him by many ways: eye contact, speaking to him from time to time about inconsequential things, a smile, an occasional touch on the arm, shoulder, back, etc. Then you ‘withdraw’ by simply turning away, speaking to others, or literally walking away and remaining silent for awhile. That gives him the opportunity to do his own reach and withdraw. This is the mating dance of the human. And now that you know, you may see other guys who are already attempting to do this with you.

It’s all in the eye contact. Maintain it for awhile and I’m yours.

Lots of eye contact. More importantly, be yourself. Smile, laugh, have fun. It’s far more attractive when people are themselves

Eye Contact, body language, smiles, conversation, showing a sign of interest.

Texts and emails and exchanges in other medium can also carry a flirty tone.

There are different levels of flirty. It also depends on if this is face to face, electronic, virtual.

Is there an end goal to the flirtation?

Yes, eye contact, but you need to enhance that with the tilt of your face. You look from beneath a slightly lowered brow. As if shy. Your face is a live, smiling and reacting, pouting (fake pouting), and doing whatever to show you are really interested in this guy. Your reactions have to not go over the top, but they should be as strong as you can make them (positively, usually, although surprise can be big) without making them fake and hammy.

You can make this easy by following your feelings. You shouldn’t actually have to try to flirt. You just let yourself show your feelings. Real feelings. If you like the guy and you don’t hold your feelings back, you’ll probably flirt for real (but not like a pro—that’s too fake). Try to not pressure yourself. Just focus on your guy and let what happens happen.

Pull his pants down.

Oh wait, you said subtle.

Lots of eye contact and “come hither” smiles.

Just shake what your mama gave yah! Lol.

Maybe, pretend you see something on his back or shoulder and very gently, lightly swipe or flick it away. And when he asks, “What was that?”, smile sweetly and say, “Oh, nothing, nothing at all.”

Oh, and stand tall, confidence is very attractive.

A gentle touch of his hand when he says something you agree with.

When I was young, my first boyfriend said he fell for me when we were in the school library and he knelt down to look for a book and I knelt down to help him. I realized then, that showing interest in things they are interested in, and giving their opinion value was the best way to communicate interest.

It really depends on the personality of the guy so don’t buy into dating advice or coaching drabble that ‘all guys think alike’, no they don’t. If the guy is shy or quiet you will have to do more than just flirt, you will have to meet them halfway by showing some type of interest in something that interests him so I would recommend complimenting a guy like this if he is good at doing something that you know of or make small talk about a book or the topic of the book he is reading and that should start it if he is interested in you back. The key is to then back off at that point and let him do something.

As far as other types of guys go I’m not sure but be careful with who you ‘flirt’ with or the guy may take it as a signal to well, you know and then you won’t be able to get rid of him! I have 2 sisters so I know this.
