Don't make these mistakes

Flirting is an art not all have the caliber for but then there are those who do know but don’t realise the mistakes they make in the process. To strengthen your flirting game, here are 5 top most commonly made mistakes that men make while flirting. Make mental notes and try not to make these mistakes.

2/6

Roasting her

Most men love teasing and make this their go-to move but what they do not realise is that sometimes, it goes too far and you lose marks. If she pokes fun at you, you too do that but keep the tone in check and go easy. Keep it playful because you may end up hurting her feelings.

3/6

The endgame planning

When you flirt, you have two scenarios already charted out in your head. One could be to make her fall for you and the other could be the one night stand you dream about. But when you think about the end results, you try too hard to impress and end up freaking her out with the wrong moves and words in the process of flirting. So just enjoy the interaction, go with the flow, have nothing predetermined in your head and be the fun person that you are. Focus on the present, if it goes well, everything will eventually fall into place.

4/6

Not closing it in the end

By this we mean that you have flirted with her, shown all that interest but you left without asking for her number, or did not ask her out. This confuses the woman sitting opposite you. Your leaving just like that after a great conversation confuses her. If you think she is into you, then ask her our or take her number or the best would be to share your business card with her and let her know your digits so that the ball goes into her court. If she wants to take it forward she will call or else won’t.

5/6

Taking too much time to send a text

After taking her number, you smartly wait for a bit so that you do not appear too desperate. A little waiting period is good but you should not take too long and lose her. This can be a huge turn off for women because you are making her feel as if she is not your priority. Message within a few hours, and at max 24 hours.

6/6

Not noticing her signals

If you are flirting with her, be a bit assertive and read her response as well. Set a pace and see how she reacts to it. It is important to read her body language, note her words, her smile, if she is playing with her hair, tucking it behind her ears, lightly touching you? If none is happening then abort mission. If all this is happening then please go ahead and ask her out, take it forward!
