For some reason I'm imagining that the person who wrote this is a woman...
Schmitzz
I once stared so long that she told me "take a picture it will last longer" I took the picture.
astrocouldyounaut
This is exactly why I'm still a virgin and turning 29.
Chistoid
My version of flirting leads to restraining orders.
Dawnstempest
Always ask before you tie someone else up -- consent is important kids.
Elkisbook
The worst part is that girls very often wait for guys to make the first step. Why is that a thing? I don't like making the first step. :(
ChameleonFacedGoon
On the bright side, I hear once you get used to rejection it stings less.
Ilogoutatwork
Or the look away, look back, look away, repeat until awkward.

At least you are willing to make eye contact... more than I can do

Isn't this everyone's version

PROLONGED EYE CONTACT!

Yeah this only works when you are cute. Source: I'm ugly. My version of flirting is this:

Antfarmz
Is....is the joke nothing? Did I get it? Did I get the joke?
circlejerkingaltfgs
i have a fair amount of regret from living like that... thats my motivation to buck up these days
kofthenorth
I don't even look at them. I just ignore them and know that I'll be forever alone.
ScatterJ0Y
God damnit- I do this too! Why can't we all just be a little braver?!?!?!
TurtleEclipse
I saw someone cute at the trainstation today. I flirted by walking behind them at a safe distance until we went our separate ways.
iHateMeghanTrainor
I've seen so many beautiful women in train stations, and my idea of flirting is the same as yours
TurtleEclipse
Maybe lots of people do this... you should look over your shoulder every once in a while and see who is following you.
UnknownSquid
I like to play it smooth by slowing down or crossing the street. Girls like that right?
punderbread

stinkiinki
Holy crap… this is me...
IngrahamLincoln
It thought it said beaver at first. Girl are you a beaver? Cuz dam
Blackbird2Raven
When I was in high school, this was my attempt at flirting. Just staring at them. What the hell was I thinking??
Adiktedgottaregisternow
Just getting a look back calls for a party for me.
timitom

P0ffee
Anyone the same online too? View someone's profile and hope that they message me first?
ablondeambition
Yes! Or even just adding someone on fb and hoping they'll message you first...? No one? Oh god.. I'm newly single and I have no game.
ImSnittingNextToBorpo
That's just sad
P0ffee
I've done this too, and am in the same boat
XoxElisaXox
It sucks because guys think you're kind of slutty if you ask them for their number. At least in the south where it's unexpected behavior.
pab0
You won't be. You'll just be brave enough to initiate something. Plus, if the other guy is also interested, it'll be a *huge* relief for him
RaynSideways
I freakin' wish women would ask me for my number. I'm too damn paranoid about coming off as a creep if I try to ask.
RaiXira
As a guy in the South: Fuck social norms. If you like me, tell me. Life's too short for this nonsense.
myrdrah
I'd be pretty ecstatic if a girl ever asked me for anything but helping her fixing her computer.
Dawnstempest
The only guys who think that are absolute retards. Go out and get what you want. If you want some guys number, ask him for it.
ilovecatsandtheletterK
Sadly yes, this is accurate. although good intentioned guys might think you're just interested and be happy about it. maybe?
AdorableEvil
I grew up in the South. Guys just hope you're slutty ANYWAY. And for some reason, slutty girls can't admit to *being* slutty.
BestNameOfAllTime
I just act sarcastic until they fall in love with me. Pretty much fail-proof.
key11ska
Have we met?
Supersweetusername
This works. Trust me i'm single.
PunsAndBunsForever
That only works if someone is willing to get close enough to realize that you aren't actually an ass. At least in my experience.
shittymalone
i tried this but everyone hates me. i think i fucked it up.
BestNameOfAllTime
Definitely a small but important difference between being sarcastic and being a douche.
shittymalone
do people..........not like being berated in front of their peers & loved ones????
BestNameOfAllTime
In my experience, no. But if they do, they're a keeper.
TylerWarranty
It's like a 50-50 spread
rankdank69
Worth it
wompwompwomp
If they go for it, they'll be more enjoyable to spend time with anyway.
MiercolesAddams
Exactly!
youdontknowjac
I've been trying that. it doesn't seem to work. apparently sarcasm is also known as asshole. how does a lady get a man!
Dawnstempest
Be yourself. I like the sarcastic dry wit in a girl myself.
youdontknowjac
that's all me then.
Dawnstempest
Is it? Are you free?
youdontknowjac
like do I cost money? no. am I busy? no. am I single? you betcha.
BestNameOfAllTime
Oh, it totally doesn't work for girls. Girls are attracted to apathy and indifference which manifests easily in sarcasm. Guys aren't.
UpvoteFairyCakes
I think a mixture works. I do a lot of really sweet gestures for the bf but I also usually back it with 'not that I care. Or anything. Hmf.'
wompwompwomp
Can't she be caring and sarcastic? As a sarcastic girl, it's an ingrained part of their mannerism like anyone else but it's not defining.
Dawnstempest
As a guy I disagree. I like apathy and indifference, and any girl that shows that in sarcasm is someone I'd date.
sidfromtoystory
very much agreed,i like girls who are a mixture of caring and cool, but im not a fan of sarcasm. i need a girl who frees me from my cynicism
youdontknowjac
I'm incredibly sarcastic. I can't turn it off.
Ohnoaginger
I dunno, sometimes when you find a chick who gets sarcasm its like ooooh...
BestNameOfAllTime
Sometimes. They're few and far between. Usually when girls do it, they force it way too much.
Ohnoaginger
Thats moreso what I was aiming at. When you find someone who can be smooth and sarcastic with you its always neat. The people who take (1/2)
wompwompwomp
I think with anybody it's going to come off differently depending on whether it's natural or not.
youdontknowjac
when I find a guy who gets sarcasm, I claim him.
Ohnoaginger
But... Do you have a flag?
myrdrah
Say no more ...
MissSnowSkellington
Bravier, or have REALLY low standards.
Flamingosbitch
Ffs am I the only one that likes myself?
astropolitan
Don't be so hard on yourself! Confidence is attractive.
Galdornae
Preferably both

FilthyFrankGifs
Ouch.
viperex
Wow
COCKCRUSHER
I think my wife was the braviest girl that approached me
DirtyJ0eDirt
Did she grabbed you by the balls and shout mine?
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
Men have the best expectation for women flirting.
QuentinCipius
I've got severe problem, about people with such low standards, that they would date me.
Nightowljrm
You just Rugrats'ed us a new word! I like.
Kappa043
Bravier is now a word. It refers to the specific kind of courage needed to ask a girl/boy out.
MissSnowSkellington
This was a typo, I swear. X^D But hey, why now? Twerk is in the dictionary now, I believe. We have nothing to lose here.
hellomynameistina
Accurate post is accurate.
TheImgurNeoConConcious
why is this a thing on imgur, like why not just say "post is accurate," is it in reference to something?
hellomynameistina
Oh shit, I missed this one. I'm going to be honest here. I have absolutely no idea why.
WhimsicalCalamari
The [adjective] [noun] is [same adjective] construction is much older than imgur. "Long cat is long" is one of the older examples I know of.
TheImgurNeoConConcious
it just seems like an odd quirk of language
HeartOfTheSunrise
I'm not sure if that phrase is as old as, or older, than all of 4chan, but that's definitely where I started seeing it.
IgnisMoltenheart
It's annoying when people think this, because as a guy with anxiety problems, it gets tiring having to work up the courage every time I want
backtobackpanicattack
to trawl for rough trade in the men's lavatories on Hampstead Heath.
Deadpooool
I also have pretty terrible anxiety; all of me exes were met online in some way.

ghostofryuchan
Ow. My heart.
commonEra
I feel you man, it's a challenge
MoonyWormtailPadfootProngs
I can meet new people and they're like 'you're great!' But the second I like a guy i get all shy and quiet and don't know what to say
Dawnstempest
"Go out with me" always works.
IgnisMoltenheart
I feel the same way talking to girls, but then when I work up the courage to ask them out I always get turned down, It'd be nice to be asked
IgnisMoltenheart
out for a change T_T
PersephoneGoddessOfSpring
(2/2) would look at me funny or think I'm out of my mind (you know, unconventionalism)
PersephoneGoddessOfSpring
As a girl, sometimes the though of making the first move comes to mind, but I get the feeling that guys I'd ask (1/2)
IgnisMoltenheart
Maybe, but it doesnt feel that way to me. I'd love it if a girl asked me out. I might be surprised because it's never happened before but
IgnisMoltenheart
A girl being forward with me would be refreshing
itsbre
I have anxiety too. I'm usually really talkative, but as soon as I like a guy, I get really rude and act like I hate him. I don't know 1/2
Kaselehlia
you are like my best friend! she does this all the time.
itsbre
I though I was the only one who did this! Yay for not being alone!
itsbre
Why I do it. I can't control it, even when I try to be nice it still sounds mean.
salutemybutthole
Lol, I'm so glad you said that. I'm the same way. I scare everyone off :(
itsbre
Yay I'm not alone! I used to do it with everyone, but now it's only with guys I like. This is the reason I'll be forever alone :(
Blearsquid
It's the tsundere syndrome!
IgnisMoltenheart
To get rejected
CaptainFishstick
Well atleast you tried and you're not left in dark if she will like you, so you got that going for you which is nice.
Tehadam
At least you get rejected. My jet just gets nuked on the runway! D:
IgnisMoltenheart
Idk, getting nuked on the runway is better than getting shot down in midair and then they come find the wreckage to point and laugh.
AmbiguouslyPunny
Not much better, but I give them my number so no one sees me get rejected.(doesn't work though, they never call back =()
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
Yeah, but only because it's you.
MaybeGrapes
+1 for pretending my love life isn't the same
importvita
I tried this a few weeks ago with the cute waitress. Haven't heard anything. *sighs*
AmbiguouslyPunny
You me and me both buddy
IAmQueenKoopa
As long as a guy takes one single brave step and asks something leading I'm typically willing to do the rest. A small second of bravery!
IgnisMoltenheart
Well then I need to meet someone like you, or more people need to be like you
IAmQueenKoopa
Oh I hope there are more like me, or else the pressure would be crippling.
IgnisMoltenheart
Well I havent found them yet lol
Deadpooool
I've been flirting with this girl I work with since July, 2014.

Deadpooool
Medical implant factory.
reverendleonard
Slow and steady wins th- oh look, she's engaged now.
Deadpooool
Seeing as she's Hmong and its culturally normal for sudden marriages, I can almost see this happening.
espasmato
Might wanna go for it if you're really interested. Nothing hurts more than someone beating you to it.
Deadpooool
Oddly enough, I don't think that's going to happen. Though I'd rather have that than rejection.
MoonyWormtailPadfootProngs
Has she been flirting back?
Deadpooool
I can't really tell; I think she does sometimes but I play it off as wishful thinking.
MoonyWormtailPadfootProngs
Well are you guys pretty friendly? You could plan to hang out outside of work. I like using trip advisor to find this to do in my own town.
Deadpooool
Friendly as in we've held doors for each other, but we've never had an actual conversation.
someonefoundoutmyurlsoihadtochangeit
I've been flirting with my co worker for the past two months. Just found out he CONVENIENTLY forgot to mention his gf. Fuck you Luis.
myrdrah
Yeah, he probably never knew - unless he's an asshole. If you are an ass Luis, fuck you!
someonefoundoutmyurlsoihadtochangeit
He was the one that started it!
smilingfirefly
Pfft, I flirted with a girl at work for YEARS...until she got engaged to someone else. I still have no clue if she ever really knew.
Deadpooool
Haha. Shoulda Jim Halpert-ed her.
SwungCookie
I had this girl I liked and went to school with since 7th grade. Now graduated high school and still never know if she liked me back.
smilingfirefly
I had plenty of those too. Of course the few I did tell things got weird. Though I was weird back then.
SwungCookie
We were good friends until graduation though :(
spartaness
This calls for passive flirtatious post-it notes.
Deadpooool
I actually gave her a note in August with my number & stuff, but never heard anything.
AdorableEvil
She lost it and is beating herself up for it. Pick an activity and a time and place, and let her know you're going.
Deadpooool
I've pondered that, actually. It's just that my anxiety makes it hard for to say so much as "hi".
AdorableEvil
I can definitely understand that. Sometimes it helps to pretend you're someone else when you're contemplating difficult actions.
spartaness
That seems like bad news, man. Retreat!
Deadpooool
I have to be in the battle to consider a retreat, lol.
spartaness
Scouting attempts though.
