Question Posted Wednesday January 30 2008, 6:44 pm
I have a guy friend, let's call him Joe. Joe and me talk quite frequently, and we just started this thing where we walk to class together sometimes. I want to know how to flirt without going overboard. Keep in mind that I'm not going to change myself to match his interests, and I know the whole speech about being myself. I just need some simple, foolproof tips that he can pick up on. He's very shy, and isn't one of those guys that flirts with every girl.
We already talk between passing period in the hall, but today, I was walking to Art, and he actually went out of his way to walk with me. :) Also, I'm not asking to be his girlfriend [although it would be nice], I just want to get 'closer' to him.

I see where you're coming from with the whole flirting thing. If i were you, I would ease my way into the flirting. After talking to him more and more, you'll both continue to get to know one another more and thats obviously a pretty good start to any relationship. Now for the advice on easing in with the flirting... I think that just by smiling at him would be a good way to warm up the friendship bar. Have a good sense of humor. Stubborn in a girl is a major turn off. Laugh at his jokes (even if they're stupid) but don't over do it. HOWEVER, since he's a shy dude, triple check to make sure he's really comfortable with you before you make any serious moves that could improve or destroy a relationship. A good way to start is by talking to each other alone, not with your cliques around you. Another major turn off, besides being stubborn, is talking about how hot other guys are. It makes him feel unimportant and unappreciated. Try not to be too bossy. And, I know you've said you know all the be yourself crud, but like if you're too much of a tomboy all he'll really think of you is a friend.
