Flirting’s weird, man. Doesn’t matter if you’ve done it a million times or you’re just getting back out there after hiding in your cave—it’s like, what’s he even doing? Being nice? Into me? Who knows! I read somewhere only 28% of people can tell when someone’s flirting. You one of ‘em? ‘Cause I’m not. Let’s figure this out together, yeah? Like, make it less of a mystery. Starting with what guys do when they’re into you.
How’s a Guy Flirting? Look for This
Guys are all over the place, but some stuff’s pretty obvious if you squint:
- Eyes Locked: He’s staring—like, staring. You ever catch him looking from way over there? That’s not an accident.
- Smiley Face: You know how you can’t stop grinning when you like someone? If he’s all teeth around you, bingo.
- Getting Close: He comfy yet? Might slide over, lean in a little. You notice that with anyone?
- Touchy Stuff: Not weird touchy—just little things. Arm graze, fixing your hair. Happened to you?
- Won’t Shut Up: Keeps chatting you up about random crap? Yeah, he’s hooked.
- Sweet Talk: “You look good today.” Boom, flirt alert. What’s the last nice thing a guy said to you?
- Asking Questions: Digs into your life, actually listens—he’s not just bored.
What Do You Do Back?
So he’s flirting. Now what? You just stand there? Nah, here’s how to throw it back:
- Smile Already: Makes you look chill, not scary. You good at that, or do you freeze up?
- Stare Too: He looks, you look. Easy. Try it next time, tell me how it goes.
- Don’t Fake It: Be you—your goofy side’s the best part. What’s your thing that makes you, you?
- Lean In: Get a little closer, tap his arm. Nothing wild, just enough.
- Say Something Nice: “Cool jacket” or “You’re hilarious.” Guys like that too.
- Ask Him Stuff: What’s he into? Show you give a damn.
- Poke Fun: Tease him a bit—keep it light. You got a good jab ready?
Look, nobody’s perfect at this. You’ll mess up, I mess up—it’s fine. Just laugh it off and keep going. Fun’s the whole point, right?

Texting Him Without Being Boring: 10 Things to Try
Wanna text a guy and not suck at it? Like, make him smile at his phone and maybe think about you all day? Here’s what I’ve got—stick these in your brain and watch him lose it over you. Let’s go!
- Text First, But Chill: Totally cool to hit him up. You like him, duh. But don’t be that person who’s always texting first—give him a turn. You ever wait him out, or you too impatient?
- Memes, Dude: You’re on Insta together, right? Send a dumb meme when you see one. Keeps it easy. What’s the last funny thing you saw?
- Stories Are Clutch: Insta stories, man—he can reply without looking thirsty. Way better than public comments. You do that a lot?
- Don’t Change: Text how you text. Always end with a heart? Do it. Why fake it for him?
- Ask Shit: He says, “What’s up?” Don’t just say “not much”—ask him back! You hate dry texters too, don’t you?
- Set Him Up: Send a pic, like you in a new shirt, and go, “Thoughts?” He’ll bite if he’s into it. Sneaky, huh?
- Shake It Up: Forget “hi.” Try “Dude, you won’t believe this” or “That show you mentioned? Killed me.” Way less blah.
- Bring Up Old Stuff: “Still laughing about that thing you did” or “Saw your fave snack today.” Makes him feel seen. What’d he do last that cracked you up?
- Emojis, Yo: Screw anyone who says they’re lame. A wink or a grin’s gold. You use ‘em, or you too cool?
- Make Him See You: Toss in random bits—like, “Just got out of the shower, dripping everywhere” or “In my old PJs now.” Paints a picture. Guys love that. What’d you do today he could imagine?
So yeah, flirting’s a ride. Be loud about it, joke around, don’t hide who you are. See what he does back and roll with it. It’s all about the vibe—keep it loose and enjoy it. You gonna try this stuff? Hit me with how it goes!
