10 Easy Ways to Flirt (That Work!)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.

Summer romance. We all dream about having magical moments under the sun, but what we don’t know is how to make it happen. These flirting tips are sure to help you snag a summer cutie!
 
1. Cross your legs and slowly move your top foot in circles. His eyes will be drawn to your gorgeous gams since men are used to focusing on movement.
 
2. While standing in line, ask what he recommends you try, even if you are already familiar with the menu. Or at a grocery store, ask him to help you reach an item on the high shelf.
 
3. Offer a sincere compliment. Something like “You look athletic. What sports do you play?” is sure to get him talking.
 
4. Guys love to hear their names — throw his name into conversation a couple of times, and he’ll know you’re into him.
 
5. Wear dangly earrings. They draw attention to the smooth curves of your neck. It’s a subtle, but still sexy way to show a little skin.
 
6. Find a reason to give your crush a big hug (like announcing that you got an awesome grade on your test) and when you pull away, lightly run your hands over his shoulders and down his arms.
 
7. Try a really cheesy pickup line ( “If you were a new hamburger at McDonald’s, you would be a McCutie.”) or a really bad joke, and deliver it in an over the top manner. It’s sure to get him to smile and can help lead into a conversation.
 
8. Create a challenge. If you see a cute guy by the pinball machine bet him that you could beat his score. Guys love competition and it’s a good way to show your fun side.
 
9. When a guy has his back to you, walk up to him, give him a playful tap and say “Hey (insert name).” When he turns around look surprised and say something like “I’m so sorry, you look just like a friend of mine.” Then introduce yourself.

10. And most importantly, smile; it makes you seem fun and more approachable!
