How Not To Be a Creepo

Let's face it, it's kind of jungle out there. Especially if you get your dating inspiration from Fifty Shades, Ariana Grande's videos, or those short videos where two people meet and within 15 minutes it's over... Of course, other public figures like Donald Trump don't help out as their flirting tips might land you in the middle sexual harassment lawsuit...

When you think about it, there is a fine line between flirting and sexual harassment; the main difference being that the first one is a welcomed advance. You know the scene: young, hunky millionaire approaches the clueless heroine in a bar and after a few heated stares it's a done deal. Which brings us to the first point...

Are you a young, hunky millionaire?

If your answer to above is yes, then, let's face it, you are likely more in the flirting department. You probably can get away with an opening line such as: "Can I buy you a drink with my golden Visa?"

Please note though, despite popular belief, not all girls are always interested. You know, no might actually mean no. Heavens forbid, even if she says yes, it might actually mean that all she agreed to is a free drink.

Also, when answering this answer, be honest. Are you age appropriate to the lady you are trying to approach? I would like to say that 20 years difference might work well, especially if you are an eye candy. So after you check you are actually in possession of impressive abs, you might just go with your gut feeling—please see the video at the end of this article just to calibrate your gut feeling.

For the Others...

I appreciate your honesty. Let's face it, guys, even being a young hunky millionaire doesn't guarantee you your flirting would be appreciated, so I would not be too much hung up on the idea. Nor it means if you are not a young hunky millionaire or any combination, or the lack of it, you shouldn't flirt or be actually successful. Which naturally leads to a question: What is flirting?

About Flirting

So, let's just make it clear: grabbing, touching, kissing, and so on while taking part in flirting are definitively wrong first steps. You are on safe ground with starting with "Hi." Before launching a frontal attack, do include some small talk. Once you established your interest in weather/travel/local conditions and what not, you might include some compliments. It really is not a rocket science. You might be surprised to hear that, but there are girls who would be in a bar in the same situation, happy to flirt and maybe more...

If you are not in a bar, but let's say, at work, it is kind of trickier. Generally speaking, people who go to work go there to work, not to flirt. Some appreciate some flirting, but...remember to review the video at the end of this article.

How Not To Be a Creepo

So, the bottom line is to not to be a creepo; get a girl's consent. It's as "easy" as that. Let's not pretend, girls are more like guys—sometimes looking for a hookup, sometimes for something more. It kind of depends on the context and the current situation. Also, when you sense a no, just move on. Maybe the girl is not playing hard to get—she may simply not be interested. There is no harm in saying hi, but unsolicited advances are not OK. Take it slowly...and remember Tea Consent.
