This will probably be my last question here (at least for a while). My last two questions were about flirting and expressing romantic interest to someone. In short in was a mixture of: ‘Flirting is important.’ and ‘Just be yourself.’
I want to give flirting a proper, respectable shot. I want to see if this is something I can develop and get creative with.
At the same time I’m also hearing I should just be myself and let it be natural. Well, I never flirt, ever. So if I do, it will not be natural nor count as being myself.
So, what should I do? What does it mean to be yourself, while trying to change?
People may define it differently, but when I think of flirting, it’s merely letting someone know that you’re interested in them. It doesn’t have to be licking your lips and winking from across the room.
Just straight up saying “I’m interested in you” is still flirting, and if something like that feels more natural than puffing out your chest and gyrating your hips, then that’s how you flirt and still be yourself.
