25+ People Are Sharing Hilariously Tragic — and Spot-On — Examples of How Men Flirt

Flirting isn't always easy and it doesn't always come naturally. However, these people took to Twitter to discuss some of the flirting techniques men use that they're tired of seeing. These vary from dull to downright tragic but we're not sure that any of these are surefire ways to impress while you flirt.

Keeping it Simple

Listen, we're not saying every message that says "hey" has flirtatious intent. However, it definitely seems like a go-to for too many. Especially on dating apps, this approach isn't always great.

After all, it doesn't offer a lot of value as a conversation starter. Plus, it's not super memorable as far as first messages go. If everyone is sending out a "hey," do any of them really stand out?

Why This One?

There are some starters to a conversation that you have to wonder about. We suppose this one does start a conversation.

However, not many people want to run into someone who knows them. It also doesn't necessarily naturally open a flirtatious conversation. Regardless of how effective it is, it's a familiar approach to many, it seems.

Stop Doing This

It's not just what people say when they flirt that really stands out to people. For this person, it's men's actions that really steal the show.

If there's one thing that really stands out to them as a go-to move, it would be touching the small of someone's back. This one can really be unsettling if any previous flirting was unwelcome or unsuccessful too, making it memorable for all the wrong reasons. Best to save this one for an established connection.

Would You Look at That

This one seems rather odd. After all, what exactly are they trying to prove here? What's flirtatious about this? Maybe it works if hands are your feature of choice on a potential partner.

Still, it seems like too many people have experienced this not-so-unique approach to romance. Rather than something flirtatious, it practically seems like a benign observation at times. All in all, we're not sure that this one is actually a mark of new love.
