Asking a girl out is not as easy as it seems. Your flirting abilities will be put to the challenge. For some men, flirting comes naturally to them. They can turn a cheesy line into something girls dig. But there’s also a risk of pushing too far, which can result in undesirable results.
Flirting is a many-headed hydra that you must learn to conquer if you want to score a date with the girl of your dreams.
In this gentleman flirting guide, we’ve listed down all the specific rules you need to follow to remain within gentlemanly guidelines so you don’t come off as a creep.
Learn How to Flirt Properly
You don’t simply approach and strike a conversation with a girl, whether it’s online or in-person. This is especially true if you’re a total stranger to her. Before you start flirting, you first need to learn how to be a gentleman to a girl.
If your goal is to get a date, don’t jeopardize that with clumsy propositioning and dirty jokes. Just be straightforward with your intentions. And if you get a vague answer that’s probably a no, don’t be pushy. Bow out gracefully. Be a gentleman until the end.
You also need to know the difference between teasing and flirting to avoid having your intentions misunderstood. Both flirting and teasing are playful acts that aim to attract a person’s attention. However, flirting shows your attraction towards the other person. Teasing also shows your interest (but not necessarily attraction) in another person. It can be a component of flirting, but it can give the wrong signal if not done well.
4 Gentleman Rules to Follow when Flirting
Whether you’re looking for a serious relationship or just want to stir up your dating life, knowing how to be a real gentleman can get you started in the right direction.
Establish a Solid Connection
Establishing a connection on the first contact will make the entire experience easier and more natural. To do that, you need to know as much as you can about the woman you’re interested in. But you don’t need to stalk her to do that. You just have to talk to her and really listen to what she’s saying.
Be Prepared
Flirting is not all about sexual innuendos and banter. You also need to have other topics to talk about. It could be about what movies you like to watch or the type of music you enjoy. It could also be something a little more serious, such as current events. Read up and be well-informed about the happenings around the world in general. You will not just impress your date with your intelligence. It also helps you avoid awkward moments.
Be Polite
Women will observe how courteous and polite you are with her. But she will also watch how you treat everyone around. This includes your friends and family, as well as the waiter at a restaurant. But being polite does not mean you have to be a pushover. You can still assert yourself when needed. For example, you can make a complaint when there’s something wrong with the food in a restaurant. Just do it in a respectful and non-confrontational way.
Make Her Feel Safe
Ladies feel safe in the company of a gentleman. That’s a fact. So act like one when flirting or on a date with a girl. There’s also something endearing when you make sure that your date gets home safely.
Lastly…
At the end of the day, flirting is a fun and lighthearted way to meet and connect with women. Don’t be too stuck up and act naturally. Be yourself and show her your fun side. After all, nobody wants to hang out with a bore.
By following the tips we’ve listed above, you can impress any girl with your gentlemanly ways and flirt your way into her heart.
