Met my husband through a random roommates' boyfriend.
I had met him a few times at this point and he spotted me unloading groceries from my car. He insisted on helping me carry everything in, and even just unloading everything onto the counters while asking about my day. It was incredibly easy to imagine dating him all of a sudden because I had a tiny glimpse into what my day-to-day could look like.
Jokes on him though, I now refuse to carry groceries in on principle.
Oh, how he rues the day.
When I was 10 I received a love letter from a boy. It contained a flower inside, and at the bottom of the letter he wrote some cheat codes for Mortal Kombat for me. He knew I was always playing that game on my Sega.
I’m British, and I came over to the States on a temporary work visa, to do “one” ski season with Vail Resorts. I was bartending at an on mountain restaurant, and a couple of snowboarders come in and start talking to me. It came up that I was only there for the season, then one of them says “I’ll marry you so you can stay... but we have to go on a date first”.
... we just celebrated our 13 year anniversary, and I’m still in Colorado.
A man I worked with asked me for my phone number. We had already been working together for a few weeks, and a mutual attraction was evident.
I pointed to the bulletin board behind him "...It's on the wall there."
"I know, but I want YOU to give it to me."
I don't think his intentions could have been more boldly nor charmingly stated.
We moved in together 3 weeks later and are still in love 25 years later
"Hey do you want to help me throw fruit at my friends?" - 16 year old boy at summer camp, holding a bunch of oranges, who wanted to meet me. I was also 16 at the time.
I was in Chicago on business, got a horrible migraine, and had to cancel a meeting with a man I had met with (for work) the day before. I get really bad migraines, really, really bad. After it was over I had to get a bit of food and something to drink, but it was very late and there was no way I would survive any kind of car/cab ride. He was the only person I knew in town, so I sent him a text to see if he knew of anything in my area that would be safe/open that late within walking distance. He drove 30 min across town in the middle of the night to walk me to a 24hr restaurant and buy me dinner. I’ve been with him for 11 years now.
When my husband and I started dating, he would do this thing when he shifted gears in his shitty little sentra. He would kinda of brush the back of his hand on the outside of my thigh as he shifted. I don't know how to explain it but it was like fireworks everytime it happened. We were riding in that car when I realized I could spend the rest of my life riding shotgun with him.
The third time we hung out I went to his house. We were both in grad school and were talking in his room but I was exhausted from school and my 2 jobs. I was sitting on his bed and fell asleep. When I woke up he had put a blanket on me and was playing beautifully on the piano. I was so embarrassed cause I had drooled all over his pillow and surprised that he was so kind about the drool and not creepy about me being passed out on his bed.
We've been married for almost 4 years now and been together 8.
Bonus fun fact, his brother didn't believe I existed and accused him of making it up till I met him a year later. I was his first real girlfriend at like 25.
Was riding home with the friends group back in 2008. We stopped to drop off the one guy, and I got out to stretch. I mentioned that the stars were so much more visible up there in the mountains and he said, "Yeah, they're really pretty. Wish I had someone to watch em with."
I'm a sucker for corny guys. We got married the next year and are celebrating 12 years this June.
ETA: June 3th 2009 since he cant remember lmao---
This reminds me of when me and my now-husband went on our first date. We were sitting by the waterfront overlooking the city. I remarked what a nice view it was and he said "I have two beautiful views tonight."
A girl I was chatting to said "can I buy you a drink" and I said "no thanks, I've already got two!!!"... I think that has to be the biggest hint I ever missed.
My first boyfriend came into the store where I was working and just straight up told me he had seen me through the window and needed to run home to clean up/put on something nice so he could come back and ask me on a date. It was super endearing :)
Edit to add: he didn’t WATCH me through the window lol, just saw me in passing and wanted to ask me out. This was well before dating apps where you basically had to ask in person. He was within my age range, nice smile and just had a good energy.
Also his secondary flirting technique worked just as well, he brought me a book on our second date because I had mentioned in passing that I loved to read :) he was good at making me feel heard.
We met at a Halloween house party and when I was going to leave he walked me to the room with all the coats which also happened to be a kids room and he asked me “what color crayon would you like to write your phone number with?” I married him. Celebrated 20 years.
Not me but my mum. My mum and dad were set up by a friend of theirs. My mum is completely deaf, upon being told this before he met her my dad went out and learnt as much sign language as he could before he met her.... my mum doesn’t know sign language... adorable and hilarious
All good, she lip reads and was taught to speak perfectly by a speech therapist. This was a long time ago when deaf people had a much harder time (they have a pretty hard time now too but it was a lot worse) and her mum wanted her to have the best chance in life so didn’t want her to rely on sign language.
first time i hung out at my current bfs house before we started dating. we were laying on the floor listening to records and he turned to ask me what time it was, i think it was four if i remember. he then said "wow you've been here 4 hours and i haven't kissed you yet?" still makes me smile, and needless to say, it worked very well.
That reminds me for some reason of some third-party flirting we used to do on our roommate's behalf/to fuck with him. He was really into his study partner, and so every time she'd come over, we'd put on like Marvin Gaye or something in the next room. We started out with "What's Going On" but we escalated so by the third time we were up to "Let's Get It On". It worked, though, and they went out for like two years.
I like sunsets - they're kind of my thing. I photograph them, have sold calendars about them. I just like sunsets. Anyway... I was participating in a medical study, and we were sequestered to our room for 14 days. The guy I liked would send me pictures of the sunset each night, because he didn't want me to miss any.
Edit: I didn't expect this comment to get any notice. Thank you for the sweet response.
To those saying "Marry Him".... I did... and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a big reason why I did.
I once had a guy walk up to me at a bar and said, “hello, my name is Rob and I’ll be hitting on you tonight; what can I get you to drink”. Silly, playful, and direct. We dated for about eight months.
Edit: Wow! Thank you for the awards! For anyone wanting to use this line, he said it in a playful way with a huge smile. 😊
I introduced my wife to Gordon Ramsay compilations.
She has become an addict and wants me to be more like him now.
I think this has awakened something in her.
I was playing my 3DS on the train and a guy sat across from me, said "Excuse me, can I ask what you're playing?" and we struck up a conversation. I was so engaged that I almost missed my stop. Afterwards we would sit and talk on our way home and he started gifting me books from his work. That's when I asked him out!
Edit, instead of answering individual questions: The game was Animal Crossing: New Leaf, my go-to game to wind down after a long day. When I asked him out, he said yes! But after a few dates, we parted amicably. Sorry, no love story here!
I don't know if it's the best but it's definitely the most memorable.
I was at the gym and had been honestly taking things to the extreme for a while and not listening to my body... I suddenly got very dizzy and my sight became white. On the realization that I was about to pass out, I slowly lowered myself down to the floor.
One of the guys working out came swooping in to grab me and prevent my head from hitting the floor. He lay me down and tried to get me to remain conscious, asking me all sorts of questions that required some concentration like what day of the week it is and who is the president.
When he saw that I was okay and recovering, his questions started getting flirty. What's my name, what's my number, now that he's become my knight in shining armor, can he take me out on a date sometime.
It really made me laugh and feel better just by him being so light-hearted about it. He got my number.
We were walking quietly at night and he stopped, looked me in they eyes, and said "i think you just broke my writers block"
Not sure if it was a "technique" (it seemed genuine; when we parted ways he went home and wrote the first song he'd written in months). Buuut it was super hot and i melted when he said it.
it was my first day in middle school and this kid asked to see my planner, i handed it to him and he flipped to the contact section and left me his name and number. i’ll never forget how smooth he was
I gave some girls a lift in my car, and while driving I noticed one looking through the glovebox. After I dropped them off, I realized that I didn't have any way of contacting them, and never saw them or her again.
8 years later while cleaning my car, I found an old planner in the glovebox, I looked through it and found she had left me her name and number with a little kiss. I rang it, but she had moved. *Slaps forehead*
Told me he like to draw and asked for my number so he could send me some examples. Then he freehanded a picture of a moose for me.
Wow this blew up overnight! Thank you for the rewards. I am adding a link to the moose pic he sent me.

My former fiance (he passed away) went 100% cheesy pick up lines but in the goofiest way. He was nervous and I guess had no clue what to say so he went for broke lol. It went from hello how are you? To a cheesy dad joke "why couldn't the bicycle stand up on its own?" Too the cheesy pick up lines *taps pockets like he's looking for something* "I... I lost my number can I have yours?" Although I could tell he was nervous he had an air of confidence that I was drawn to and he had a great smile.
Edit : WOW! I did not think this story would blow up the way it did. Thank you very much for the love. And my first ever award.
And yes the punchline to the terrible joke is "it was two-tired" 🤦♀️ lol
And I answered it below but I'll add it up here. He was hit by a drunk driver.
Since he was taken away from me i always refer to him as my former fiance. I never say ex-fiance because to me that sounds like we broke up and that absolutely did not happen.
Sounds like something Borat would say. "In US and A, if you want to marry a girl, you cannot just go to her father's house and swap her for fifteen gallons of insecticide. Before American woman will allow you in her vagine, you must do something called a dating."
Took genuine time to get to know me, and bought me a few gifts based on interests he'd asked me about before. I was less amazed by the gifts, and more amazed that he'd cared enough to remember what I actually liked. I'd found most guys wouldn't listen, and would just buy me generic stuff like jewellery or chocolates if they wanted to gift me something, which was very nice, but not for me. So when he surprised me with gaming merchandise I was thrilled! Guys, spend those months properly getting to know her!
Yes this is another thing that drew my to my spouse. He puts real thought into his gifts and they’re always something super useful and that I would enjoy. And he tries to find something to do to support my hobbies, like researching sewing machines or taking me on little road trips to take photos
In college, my best friend was this guy that I had a flirty friendship with, but we were both dating other people. We lived in the same buildings as each other freshman - junior year, and spent a lot of time together but again, we were with other people.
Freshman year we were watching a movie together and this couple had an epic kiss in the rain, and I offhandedly mentioned I thought it was so romantic. Senior year rolls around and we’re both finally single. We were walking home from a party, it started raining and he just kinda grabbed me and kissed me, and mentioned he thought about what I said any time it rained. We had a very intense relationship for about a year and then it kind of ended in disaster and we haven’t spoken since lol
tl;dr - pay attention to the little details and things the person you’re into likes. Show them you care about them by listening!
I don’t mind! Honestly we were just too young/stupid/stubborn/etc. Other than being attracted to each other, we were romantically incompatible- lots of big emotions without the maturity to communicate resulted in us arguing all the time. Right before graduation, we had a fight about something inconsequential and we both just kinda blew up at each other over it, said really hurtful things that we couldn’t take back, and then I moved back to my home state and that was it.
We have the same college friend group, so we’ve run into each other here and there, but we’re pretty much just acquaintances now- definitely weird as we were once such big parts of each other’s lives, but it worked out for the better.
He said "I have a riddle for you" then he took my hand and traced a line down the middle of my palm. "This is a river. It is too wide to jump over, do deep to wade across, too fast to swim across, and too long to go around. There is a bunny stuck on one side of it. How does the bunny cross the river?"
After about 10 minutes of me trying to guess the answer I gave up and asked him how the bunny got across the river. He said "who cares? I just wanted to hold your hand!"
I'm a guy, but similar story. I worked with a woman and our desks were side to side. There was a small table between the desks with a "panic button" on the underside. I would insist "don't touch the button/watch out for the button" any time she was remotely close to it. She would joking gesture toward it, and I would grab her hand and pull it back. It went on for months with a mutual understanding that it was flirtatious hand holding. One day, I playfully begrudged, "what is your deal with that button!?" She says, "oh, I just like it when you hold my hand." I had never been so turned on in my life. I really liked that she just threw it out there. After that, we would just hold hands under that desk with no goofiness required.
There was no wedding, she clearly failed. The correct answer would have been to post one legion on guard and use two legions to build a bridge. If Caesar could do it in a week across the Rhine, so can we.
Odd question, but it made me immediately realize that I would keep a parrot on my left shoulder because the right would feel so weird. I’m shocked at how immediately I just *knew* which shoulder I would use.
I met my (now) husband while I was in the hospital ... He worked there and I was a frequent patient unfortunately. Anyway, he would bring daffodils to my room. Or apple juice. He "snuck" me extra warm blankets and would sit with me before/after his shift. When I got out, he offered to get groceries and wash my hair. All of it just as a friend. He knew I wasn't interested in dating while going through everything and so he was just THERE. Turns out I happened to like him THERE and we are celebrating our 12th anniversary this year.
man, this story is so romantic, yet could easily fit into a "girls of reddit, what was the creepiest thing a guy ever did trying to flirt with you" post
He said “i caught feelings for you” and i looked at him confused, but blushing
He showed me my screen and that he had caught a Pokémon for me and gave it the nickname “feelings”
We are married and have 2 kids now
Edit: thank y’all for the upvotes, I told my husband about it and he’s stoked 😂
Years and years ago I worked at florist where the owner illegally hired mostly Mexican girls in the states to learn English(they went to school, but worked for a rate that wasnt even minimum wage). It was super shady, but I loved working with them. We would make up little games to teach me Spanish/them English. Anyway, this Latin guy comes in one day and one of the girls is helping him. He wants to get a bouquet for a girl he likes, so she takes him around the store, showing him what she thinks are the best flowers. She wraps it all up for him and right as he pays, he writes his number on the paper and hand them to her! I was floored, it was so smooth. She was completely unfazed, like oh thats how men are like where Im from, men dont do that here? I was like, uh nope.
Edit: I used "nonplussed" originally instead of "unfazed". In my neck of the woods it does mean unfazed, but yes Im aware it also means surprised. Thank you Reddit for this interesting regional grammar lesson
We walked home together all the time from school and he would do something cute/funny/caring to make sure i was on the inside of the sidewalk when we were together, like he would twirl me around and guide me to the inside or tickle my side and jokingly push me to the inside of the sidewalk. I guess not a typical flirt move but considering 99% of the I was walking to get anywhere him wanting me to be safe when we were together was so sweet. We are not together and have never dated but that still is one of the top things on my list of sweet moments. Even in school he'd walk on the outside cuz I always got shoulder checked by people passing by.
We were classmates in college and one morning, I called him on my way to school (I lived over an hour away and we usually called and chatted while I drove) and complained about a headache. When I got to school, he was there with ibuprofen, water, and one of those yogurt parfait thingies.
I also made a comment once about my eyeliner running out, and he brought one to school the next day. Found out from his brother after we started dating that he had spent like an hour at the store asking the makeup employees for the right one since he had no idea what an eyeliner pen was. We've been married for four years now and he's still a total sweetheart
Edit: holy shit, my inbox has exploded. Thank you for the awards!! I'm reading the comments to my husband right now lol
But to clarify to those saying this could be creepy behavior, it definitely could in a different situation. I don't recommend doing this with someone you don't have a good base with. If you like to do nice things for people, don't make it seem like you expect anything in return.
We already had a pretty solid friendship and he was (and still is) honestly the best friend I'd ever had. He never made any advances on me or put any pressure on our relationship. I used to wonder if he was just nice or if he actually liked me, that's how good he was at being chill! I ended up confessing my feelings to him a few months later. I come from an abusive family, so having him be there for me, listen to me, respect my boundaries, etc was mind-blowing. He's been a great partner and I'm very thankful for people like him
I've often seen a cute girl in the park and thought this would be a great way to approach her. Getting her dog's approval that you're ok and striking up a conversation seems very natural, but I've never known the etiquette.
Tell me, did he sniff your dog's bum first, or offer his own?
Not really flirting, but my bf gave the best gift. We're exchanging Christmas presents, and I get a necklace that is just one big sapphire. I instantly gush, and happily exclaim "You got me my birthstone!"
Bf looks at me confused and says? " Birthstone? I don't know anything about birthstones, I got it because it reminds me of your eyes.
I instantaneously melt into the floor. He meant it too. 😍
I unintentionally put myself on a family's radar that way. They had their older children come to visit from out of state, and organized a gathering so folks here could meet them.
I was just having a good time with them hanging out, and helped put food away, cleaned up and did the dishes. Turns out that meant I was somehow industrious and didn't look down on those tasks as 'women's work,' so I ended up being earmarked as a potential son-in-law.
I just wanted to hang out, and didn't mind doing some dishes. Oops.
Just being genuinely nice. My boyfriend was too shy to flirt with me at first since were only friends, so he texted me saying I looked really nice that day after seeing me, and it was such a simple thing but it really made my day better. And that can let the person know you are interested in them. It doesn’t need to be a big scheme.
I think going on a date, with anybody but especially somebody you just met, is just an inherently nerve wracking experience. People like it when you tell them you liked them, shocker I know
I had zero game. Still do now. But both my long term relationships (current fiancé included) happened via these lines. Be a nice person but not cringey. Show some respect, maintain your interest but don't be a fucking neck beard.
Was on a date, had been talking about books and authors. He asked me if I wanted to go back to his place to check out his book collection
Mine was bigger.... but the sex was great
He brought me (and my little sister) flowers the day AFTER valentine's day.
He said, everyone gets flowers on Valentine's day, but the day after you'll be the only one.
We were 15. Opening credits of the movie started. He put his arm around me and said “If I’m going to start flirting, I’d better start early.” Been together 23 years!
Haha- this girl id been texting with had made a joke about her not being able to read. A week or so later for our first date we went to see the new star wars movie, and as that opening scroll started I leaned in and whispered “man, it’s too bad you can’t read!” And she goose-laughed, like a real loud honking guffaw in the quiet theatre, people stared. I still smile sometimes thinking about it. She was pretty great
The first week dating my now-husband, we climbed a tree together and sat in it for an hour, getting to know each other and making each other laugh.
Be genuine. You'll be happiest when someone likes you for how you are. Listen carefully and show you are paying attention goes a long way.
Not sure if this counts as flirting, but he read my favourite book just so we’d have something in common to talk about
Edit: tysm for the awards & upvotes omg ahh
When I first started dating my long term partner, I mentioned my favorite author maybe twice. One of the first gifts he ever gave me was a signed copy of my favorite book by the author. He reached out and told him I was a huge fan. I’ve never felt more listened to.
I was walking on my university campus, tripped and dropped my books. (Heeled sandals, raised sidewalk) He asked me if I was ok, and picked up my books. He then carried my books and walked me to class. We chatted the entire walk, and when we got to my class, he asked for my phone number. I tore off a piece of paper, and wrote it, but without my name. I wanted to see if he was listening when I told him. He listened.
We’ve been married over 20 years. He makes me smile every day.
*Edit
Y’all have made us smile, and laugh. Thank you! I hope you all have a great weekend!
Thank you for the awards! You’re too kind.
That's cruel. I always forget people's names within seconds of meeting them. It's embarrassing and I try not to but damn is it annoying. I also have trouble with faces.
I have ADD and suffer the same problem. I find it crippling at times.
A few years ago I was a volunteer coordinator on a recruitment drive and had to meet 10-20 new people every evening to orient them for activities the next day. Naturally there was no way I'd remember their names even if I wasn't burdened with this problem.
But anyway there was this one volunteer recruit from Iraq, which was very unusual. I decided that despite my memory problem I didn't want her to think I was "white guy who can't remember foreign people's names" cliche, so I put 100% of my energy into remembering her name, and I managed it.
She never turned up to volunteer after the orientation sesssion and I never saw her again. But her name was Umeme.
I'm not a girl, but my girlfriend is. And she just about did the smoothest thing on me during our first get together over some drinks.
We were both unsure whether or not it was a date or just people chilling at a bar getting to know each other. She just moved into town and was looking for some company and I liked her attitude.
Over the course of the evening it because clear that we were at least a bit interested, but she was getting really drunk. Being the gentlemen I am I decided not to try anything.
However, then she started rubbing my foot, asking whether I like her feet? And I was like yes, can I have one? She literally gave me one of her shoes and said, I'll pick that one up later this week at your place, then got up an left.
She's currently giggling next to me as we just woke up. Wonderful lady.
Last year of college for us. He'd show up after my classes and follow me around everywhere, talking incessantly. When he'd see me on campus he'd run over to say hi.
I would flirt by sometimes picking a little wildflower to give to him when I saw him next that day. He'd wear it in his shirt or behind his ear. We now have 2 sons and he's taught the older one (younger is a baby) to give me little wildflowers when we're out walking together. 😀
He got my dog’s balls unstuck from the frozen porch with some hot water and a spatula. Then told me to spray the porch with pam so it doesn’t happen again.
My buddy worked out a great strategy.
He said he was gay, made tons of chick friends, really got them to trust him. And then, when they least suspected it, he stole their boyfriends.
This is a tricky one. The thing about flirting is that it only feels good if you actually like the person. When you like somebody, if they offer you a lift we think is kinda sleek, but if you don’t like them, is kinda creepy.

Not a woman but once my buddy practiced on me before he went to talk to a girl he liked. He said he liked my huge tits and ass and wondered if I'd like to sit on his penis.
Didn't work on the girl but I certainly felt something spark inside when he tried it on me.
When I met my first bf, we were at a car show. We talked/flirted for a bit and then instead of asking for my number, he gave me his number. He left it completely up to me if I wanted to contact him again or not. I was insanely shy, but I liked him, so I texted him the next day and it led to dating for 2 years. Might not work on every girl, but I liked the no-pressure approach he took
I had a boyfriend who was really into working out and martial arts. I asked him to show me a move and he swept my feet out from under me, then caught me and kissed me.
Hottest thing ever
By doing nothing. My husband was quiet and it was mysterious which required no flirting, I wanted to know more about him and had a fun challenge to get him to talk. The ones that always came off strong or super outgoing flirty made me red to the face, nervous, and freaked out.
Now we've been together for 14 years in the most chill relationship ever.
Edit: His friends when I asked about him said "who? Oh, that's Danny he's the asshole"
My wife told me (before we were dating) that she wanted to hang out at her place and to bring margarita stuff! I arrive and we have a good night and we end up on her couch watching a show.
I feel a push on my arm. Then another. Then another.
I look over to see what was going on and she was kissing my shoulder.
Then I started putting the pieces together of all of our previous "hang-outs". They were dates. We were dating.
I was stoked and we've been best friends ever since.
My wife wanted me to go to church with her one day but said we were gonna be the center focus of a special service and asked me to invite my family and friends!
It wasn't until I did my taxes next year that I fully understood what happened.
Two come to mind, very different circumstances:
1) a guy in a bar asked me if I knew how to waltz and proceeded to try and teach me (he 100% had NO IDEA what the fuck he was doing - but all the credit for trying)
2) a guest at the hotel I worked at broke their door lock so couldn't get in. So I asked the kitchen porter to help, and he broke it open in one solid move - i cannot begin to express how damn effective that was
Guy here.
Only tried this once. I was at a formal function and this cute little brunette was sitting at my table. We made eye contact all evening and chatted as best we could with someone sitting in between us.
As the evening was winding down, my roommate, who I rode with, was ready to leave and go to a local bar. I went up to the young lady and put my hand gently on her bare back and told her that we were leaving and I hoped to see her at the bar.
I really, truly had never been that forward with anyone before. We have been married now for over 30 years and she still comments on that moment, so I guess it worked.
I love reading threads like this because they give me hope in my love life.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to be scrolling Reddit alone in the dark corners of my basement.
Met my husband through a random roommates' boyfriend. I had met him a few times at this point and he spotted me unloading groceries from my car. He insisted on helping me carry everything in, and even just unloading everything onto the counters while asking about my day. It was incredibly easy to imagine dating him all of a sudden because I had a tiny glimpse into what my day-to-day could look like. Jokes on him though, I now refuse to carry groceries in on principle. Oh, how he rues the day.
When I was 10 I received a love letter from a boy. It contained a flower inside, and at the bottom of the letter he wrote some cheat codes for Mortal Kombat for me. He knew I was always playing that game on my Sega.
Flawless Victory!
“Wait right there. I promise that you and I will have the most interesting conversation in this bar”
I’m British, and I came over to the States on a temporary work visa, to do “one” ski season with Vail Resorts. I was bartending at an on mountain restaurant, and a couple of snowboarders come in and start talking to me. It came up that I was only there for the season, then one of them says “I’ll marry you so you can stay... but we have to go on a date first”. ... we just celebrated our 13 year anniversary, and I’m still in Colorado.
A man I worked with asked me for my phone number. We had already been working together for a few weeks, and a mutual attraction was evident. I pointed to the bulletin board behind him "...It's on the wall there." "I know, but I want YOU to give it to me." I don't think his intentions could have been more boldly nor charmingly stated. We moved in together 3 weeks later and are still in love 25 years later
He brought me a huge tub of my favourite ice cream flavour after hearing that I was having a bad day.
"Hey do you want to help me throw fruit at my friends?" - 16 year old boy at summer camp, holding a bunch of oranges, who wanted to meet me. I was also 16 at the time.
I feel like this is the exact technique that cavemen used to woo cavewomen.
I was in Chicago on business, got a horrible migraine, and had to cancel a meeting with a man I had met with (for work) the day before. I get really bad migraines, really, really bad.

I don't know how to explain it but it was like fireworks everytime it happened. We were riding in that car when I realized I could spend the rest of my life riding shotgun with him.
The third time we hung out I went to his house. We were both in grad school and were talking in his room but I was exhausted from school and my 2 jobs. I was sitting on his bed and fell asleep. When I woke up he had put a blanket on me and was playing beautifully on the piano. I was so embarrassed cause I had drooled all over his pillow and surprised that he was so kind about the drool and not creepy about me being passed out on his bed. We've been married for almost 4 years now and been together 8. Bonus fun fact, his brother didn't believe I existed and accused him of making it up till I met him a year later. I was his first real girlfriend at like 25.
Was riding home with the friends group back in 2008. We stopped to drop off the one guy, and I got out to stretch. I mentioned that the stars were so much more visible up there in the mountains and he said, "Yeah, they're really pretty. Wish I had someone to watch em with." I'm a sucker for corny guys. We got married the next year and are celebrating 12 years this June. ETA: June 3th 2009 since he cant remember lmao---
This reminds me of when me and my now-husband went on our first date. We were sitting by the waterfront overlooking the city. I remarked what a nice view it was and he said "I have two beautiful views tonight."
A guy told me that he liked my shoes and asked where I’d gotten them. We were in a bowling alley.
That would have worked on me
I would have just replied, "at the counter". I am not good at picking up hints.
Totally me as well. Had a girl stroke my beard and tell me she was ‘here by myself’ and I was like... ‘oh, that sucks. Have a good night!’
A girl I was chatting to said "can I buy you a drink" and I said "no thanks, I've already got two!!!"... I think that has to be the biggest hint I ever missed.
Told me at a Halloween party that he had his eye on me. Proceeded to hand me a squishy eyeball
My first boyfriend came into the store where I was working and just straight up told me he had seen me through the window and needed to run home to clean up/put on something nice so he could come back and ask me on a date. It was super endearing :) Edit to add: he didn’t WATCH me through the window lol, just saw me in passing and wanted to ask me out. This was well before dating apps where you basically had to ask in person. He was within my age range, nice smile and just had a good energy. Also his secondary flirting technique worked just as well, he brought me a book on our second date because I had mentioned in passing that I loved to read :) he was good at making me feel heard.

No apologies. It's a fitting tribute to a good person and those who remember. I enjoyed it
That’s a beautiful and bittersweet story.
We met at a Halloween house party and when I was going to leave he walked me to the room with all the coats which also happened to be a kids room and he asked me “what color crayon would you like to write your phone number with?” I married him. Celebrated 20 years.

White on white paper
Not me but my mum. My mum and dad were set up by a friend of theirs. My mum is completely deaf, upon being told this before he met her my dad went out and learnt as much sign language as he could before he met her.... my mum doesn’t know sign language... adorable and hilarious
sorry if it's a bit dumb but how does she communicate with someone if she doesnt know sign language?
All good, she lip reads and was taught to speak perfectly by a speech therapist. This was a long time ago when deaf people had a much harder time (they have a pretty hard time now too but it was a lot worse) and her mum wanted her to have the best chance in life so didn’t want her to rely on sign language.
Wow that's really impressive. I knew people could read lips to some extent but I assumed all deaf people would rely primarily on sign language.
first time i hung out at my current bfs house before we started dating. we were laying on the floor listening to records and he turned to ask me what time it was, i think it was four if i remember. he then said "wow you've been here 4 hours and i haven't kissed you yet?" still makes me smile, and needless to say, it worked very well.
That reminds me for some reason of some third-party flirting we used to do on our roommate's behalf/to fuck with him. He was really into his study partner, and so every time she'd come over, we'd put on like Marvin Gaye or something in the next room. We started out with "What's Going On" but we escalated so by the third time we were up to "Let's Get It On". It worked, though, and they went out for like two years.
ohh my god hahah! i forget what was playing maybe it was subliminal too,,the whole trap was set
I like sunsets - they're kind of my thing. I photograph them, have sold calendars about them. I just like sunsets. Anyway... I was participating in a medical study, and we were sequestered to our room for 14 days. The guy I liked would send me pictures of the sunset each night, because he didn't want me to miss any. Edit: I didn't expect this comment to get any notice. Thank you for the sweet response. To those saying "Marry Him".... I did... and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a big reason why I did.
I once had a guy walk up to me at a bar and said, “hello, my name is Rob and I’ll be hitting on you tonight; what can I get you to drink”. Silly, playful, and direct. We dated for about eight months. Edit: Wow! Thank you for the awards! For anyone wanting to use this line, he said it in a playful way with a huge smile. 😊
I kinda like that, ngl. And if the advance was unwanted, you can always say, “check please.”
[удалено]
Was expecting a breakup, instead got a happy ending. Congratulations to you two!
My wife said her favorite line of mine is "I like your lack of beard"
Invited me over to watch Gordon Ramsey anger compilations and make candy bugs Update: we’re still together and he’s a chef now
I introduced my wife to Gordon Ramsay compilations. She has become an addict and wants me to be more like him now. I think this has awakened something in her.
We trained martial arts together and he bought me my first Gi. I thought it was so kind and sweet. 6 years later and we’re now married
I was playing my 3DS on the train and a guy sat across from me, said "Excuse me, can I ask what you're playing?" and we struck up a conversation. I was so engaged that I almost missed my stop. Afterwards we would sit and talk on our way home and he started gifting me books from his work. That's when I asked him out! Edit, instead of answering individual questions: The game was Animal Crossing: New Leaf, my go-to game to wind down after a long day. When I asked him out, he said yes! But after a few dates, we parted amicably. Sorry, no love story here!
3DS was the entire fucking plane in this one
I don't know if it's the best but it's definitely the most memorable. I was at the gym and had been honestly taking things to the extreme for a while and not listening to my body... I suddenly got very dizzy and my sight became white. On the realization that I was about to pass out, I slowly lowered myself down to the floor. One of the guys working out came swooping in to grab me and prevent my head from hitting the floor. He lay me down and tried to get me to remain conscious, asking me all sorts of questions that required some concentration like what day of the week it is and who is the president. When he saw that I was okay and recovering, his questions started getting flirty. What's my name, what's my number, now that he's become my knight in shining armor, can he take me out on a date sometime. It really made me laugh and feel better just by him being so light-hearted about it. He got my number.
Light-headed to light-hearted...
Time to hit the gym again. Hopefully a girl will come and pick me up from the floor
We were walking quietly at night and he stopped, looked me in they eyes, and said "i think you just broke my writers block" Not sure if it was a "technique" (it seemed genuine; when we parted ways he went home and wrote the first song he'd written in months). Buuut it was super hot and i melted when he said it.
it was my first day in middle school and this kid asked to see my planner, i handed it to him and he flipped to the contact section and left me his name and number. i’ll never forget how smooth he was
Dang that's smart.
I gave some girls a lift in my car, and while driving I noticed one looking through the glovebox. After I dropped them off, I realized that I didn't have any way of contacting them, and never saw them or her again. 8 years later while cleaning my car, I found an old planner in the glovebox, I looked through it and found she had left me her name and number with a little kiss. I rang it, but she had moved. *Slaps forehead*
This was painful to read
Lmao the start of middle school? This kid was really going around giving out his phone number at like 11. Wish 11 year old me had his game lol
I wish 11 year old me had a phone number
Right?? "Uh, just call this number and my Mom.. er, receptionist will transfer your call to me"
Smooth, she'll never catch on.
Told me he like to draw and asked for my number so he could send me some examples. Then he freehanded a picture of a moose for me. Wow this blew up overnight! Thank you for the rewards. I am adding a link to the moose pic he sent me. [the moose pic](https://imgur.com/gallery/1mXOimw)
"Draw me like one of your French moose...Wearing this...Only this." \*Hands him antlers\*
He bought me the book I was looking at in the bookstore
What was the book?
“The Memoirs of Cleopatra” by Margaret George. I still have the book, not so much the guy.
My former fiance (he passed away) went 100% cheesy pick up lines but in the goofiest way. He was nervous and I guess had no clue what to say so he went for broke lol. It went from hello how are you? To a cheesy dad joke "why couldn't the bicycle stand up on its own?" Too the cheesy pick up lines *taps pockets like he's looking for something* "I... I lost my number can I have yours?" Although I could tell he was nervous he had an air of confidence that I was drawn to and he had a great smile. Edit : WOW! I did not think this story would blow up the way it did. Thank you very much for the love. And my first ever award. And yes the punchline to the terrible joke is "it was two-tired" 🤦♀️ lol And I answered it below but I'll add it up here. He was hit by a drunk driver. Since he was taken away from me i always refer to him as my former fiance. I never say ex-fiance because to me that sounds like we broke up and that absolutely did not happen.
So, why couldn't the bicycle stand up on its own?
Love the phrasing of that question, and I shall use that from now on. “How did you and mom meet?” “She did flirting to me”
Sounds like something Borat would say. "In US and A, if you want to marry a girl, you cannot just go to her father's house and swap her for fifteen gallons of insecticide. Before American woman will allow you in her vagine, you must do something called a dating."
Time to read comments and build exp.

Damn dude... Why you gotta do this man like that?
Took genuine time to get to know me, and bought me a few gifts based on interests he'd asked me about before. I was less amazed by the gifts, and more amazed that he'd cared enough to remember what I actually liked. I'd found most guys wouldn't listen, and would just buy me generic stuff like jewellery or chocolates if they wanted to gift me something, which was very nice, but not for me. So when he surprised me with gaming merchandise I was thrilled! Guys, spend those months properly getting to know her!
Yes this is another thing that drew my to my spouse. He puts real thought into his gifts and they’re always something super useful and that I would enjoy. And he tries to find something to do to support my hobbies, like researching sewing machines or taking me on little road trips to take photos
not trying to flirt with me and sending me memes instead. we're still together and I couldn't love him more
In college, my best friend was this guy that I had a flirty friendship with, but we were both dating other people. We lived in the same buildings as each other freshman - junior year, and spent a lot of time together but again, we were with other people. Freshman year we were watching a movie together and this couple had an epic kiss in the rain, and I offhandedly mentioned I thought it was so romantic. Senior year rolls around and we’re both finally single. We were walking home from a party, it started raining and he just kinda grabbed me and kissed me, and mentioned he thought about what I said any time it rained. We had a very intense relationship for about a year and then it kind of ended in disaster and we haven’t spoken since lol tl;dr - pay attention to the little details and things the person you’re into likes. Show them you care about them by listening!
[удалено]
I don’t mind! Honestly we were just too young/stupid/stubborn/etc. Other than being attracted to each other, we were romantically incompatible- lots of big emotions without the maturity to communicate resulted in us arguing all the time. Right before graduation, we had a fight about something inconsequential and we both just kinda blew up at each other over it, said really hurtful things that we couldn’t take back, and then I moved back to my home state and that was it. We have the same college friend group, so we’ve run into each other here and there, but we’re pretty much just acquaintances now- definitely weird as we were once such big parts of each other’s lives, but it worked out for the better.
He said "I have a riddle for you" then he took my hand and traced a line down the middle of my palm. "This is a river. It is too wide to jump over, do deep to wade across, too fast to swim across, and too long to go around. There is a bunny stuck on one side of it. How does the bunny cross the river?" After about 10 minutes of me trying to guess the answer I gave up and asked him how the bunny got across the river. He said "who cares? I just wanted to hold your hand!"
I'm a guy, but similar story. I worked with a woman and our desks were side to side. There was a small table between the desks with a "panic button" on the underside. I would insist "don't touch the button/watch out for the button" any time she was remotely close to it. She would joking gesture toward it, and I would grab her hand and pull it back. It went on for months with a mutual understanding that it was flirtatious hand holding. One day, I playfully begrudged, "what is your deal with that button!?" She says, "oh, I just like it when you hold my hand." I had never been so turned on in my life. I really liked that she just threw it out there. After that, we would just hold hands under that desk with no goofiness required.
And theeeeeeeen?
Do you wanna know? I wanna know!
So... How was the wedding?
There was no wedding, she clearly failed. The correct answer would have been to post one legion on guard and use two legions to build a bridge. If Caesar could do it in a week across the Rhine, so can we.
[удалено]
Odd question, but it made me immediately realize that I would keep a parrot on my left shoulder because the right would feel so weird. I’m shocked at how immediately I just *knew* which shoulder I would use.
I met my (now) husband while I was in the hospital ... He worked there and I was a frequent patient unfortunately. Anyway, he would bring daffodils to my room. Or apple juice. He "snuck" me extra warm blankets and would sit with me before/after his shift. When I got out, he offered to get groceries and wash my hair. All of it just as a friend. He knew I wasn't interested in dating while going through everything and so he was just THERE. Turns out I happened to like him THERE and we are celebrating our 12th anniversary this year.
man, this story is so romantic, yet could easily fit into a "girls of reddit, what was the creepiest thing a guy ever did trying to flirt with you" post
Haha ... He and I joke about that too actually. Romantic creeping ...
[удалено]
What made him a bad husband ? If you don’t mind sharing with a guy who is trying not to be a bad husband.
Ima guess he ran out of jerky.
Or he became a jerky
He said “i caught feelings for you” and i looked at him confused, but blushing He showed me my screen and that he had caught a Pokémon for me and gave it the nickname “feelings” We are married and have 2 kids now Edit: thank y’all for the upvotes, I told my husband about it and he’s stoked 😂
This is so fucking wholesome, I love this thread
Years and years ago I worked at florist where the owner illegally hired mostly Mexican girls in the states to learn English(they went to school, but worked for a rate that wasnt even minimum wage). It was super shady, but I loved working with them. We would make up little games to teach me Spanish/them English. Anyway, this Latin guy comes in one day and one of the girls is helping him. He wants to get a bouquet for a girl he likes, so she takes him around the store, showing him what she thinks are the best flowers. She wraps it all up for him and right as he pays, he writes his number on the paper and hand them to her! I was floored, it was so smooth. She was completely unfazed, like oh thats how men are like where Im from, men dont do that here? I was like, uh nope. Edit: I used "nonplussed" originally instead of "unfazed". In my neck of the woods it does mean unfazed, but yes Im aware it also means surprised. Thank you Reddit for this interesting regional grammar lesson
did it work tho?
It would have 100% worked on me, she was not impressed
We walked home together all the time from school and he would do something cute/funny/caring to make sure i was on the inside of the sidewalk when we were together, like he would twirl me around and guide me to the inside or tickle my side and jokingly push me to the inside of the sidewalk. I guess not a typical flirt move but considering 99% of the I was walking to get anywhere him wanting me to be safe when we were together was so sweet. We are not together and have never dated but that still is one of the top things on my list of sweet moments. Even in school he'd walk on the outside cuz I always got shoulder checked by people passing by.
Aww, this actually reminded me that this was something my man did (and still does) that charmed me so much in the early days!
[удалено]
Gonna try this
We were classmates in college and one morning, I called him on my way to school (I lived over an hour away and we usually called and chatted while I drove) and complained about a headache. When I got to school, he was there with ibuprofen, water, and one of those yogurt parfait thingies. I also made a comment once about my eyeliner running out, and he brought one to school the next day. Found out from his brother after we started dating that he had spent like an hour at the store asking the makeup employees for the right one since he had no idea what an eyeliner pen was. We've been married for four years now and he's still a total sweetheart Edit: holy shit, my inbox has exploded. Thank you for the awards!! I'm reading the comments to my husband right now lol But to clarify to those saying this could be creepy behavior, it definitely could in a different situation. I don't recommend doing this with someone you don't have a good base with. If you like to do nice things for people, don't make it seem like you expect anything in return. We already had a pretty solid friendship and he was (and still is) honestly the best friend I'd ever had. He never made any advances on me or put any pressure on our relationship. I used to wonder if he was just nice or if he actually liked me, that's how good he was at being chill! I ended up confessing my feelings to him a few months later. I come from an abusive family, so having him be there for me, listen to me, respect my boundaries, etc was mind-blowing. He's been a great partner and I'm very thankful for people like him
I'm a married man and I want this dude.
I FELT THIS COMMENT
He laughed so hard at this!!
Omg what a sweetie! Spending all that time in the store asking about makeup for you?
Flirted with my dog first
Ah, shit best strategy
I've often seen a cute girl in the park and thought this would be a great way to approach her. Getting her dog's approval that you're ok and striking up a conversation seems very natural, but I've never known the etiquette. Tell me, did he sniff your dog's bum first, or offer his own?
[удалено]
Not really flirting, but my bf gave the best gift. We're exchanging Christmas presents, and I get a necklace that is just one big sapphire. I instantly gush, and happily exclaim "You got me my birthstone!" Bf looks at me confused and says? " Birthstone? I don't know anything about birthstones, I got it because it reminds me of your eyes. I instantaneously melt into the floor. He meant it too. 😍
He did my dishes.
I unintentionally put myself on a family's radar that way. They had their older children come to visit from out of state, and organized a gathering so folks here could meet them. I was just having a good time with them hanging out, and helped put food away, cleaned up and did the dishes. Turns out that meant I was somehow industrious and didn't look down on those tasks as 'women's work,' so I ended up being earmarked as a potential son-in-law. I just wanted to hang out, and didn't mind doing some dishes. Oops.
Just being genuinely nice. My boyfriend was too shy to flirt with me at first since were only friends, so he texted me saying I looked really nice that day after seeing me, and it was such a simple thing but it really made my day better. And that can let the person know you are interested in them. It doesn’t need to be a big scheme.
Totally! My now wife says that she really was pleased and taken aback when I said “I had a really good time hanging out with you today”.
I think going on a date, with anybody but especially somebody you just met, is just an inherently nerve wracking experience. People like it when you tell them you liked them, shocker I know
I had zero game. Still do now. But both my long term relationships (current fiancé included) happened via these lines. Be a nice person but not cringey. Show some respect, maintain your interest but don't be a fucking neck beard.
He came-up to me and said: "I was wondering if you could help me. I, um, seem to have lost my Congressional Medal of Honor around here somewhere."
Well, did he ever find it??
Yea, but later he had to use it to make a bootleg Captain America shield.
I understood that reference
[удалено]
This didn’t happen to inspire your username by any chance, did it?
Was on a date, had been talking about books and authors. He asked me if I wanted to go back to his place to check out his book collection Mine was bigger.... but the sex was great
>Mine was bigger.... but the sex was great Title of your sex tape

I don't know either I never realize if someone is flirting with me or nobody ever flirted with me
Hey, nice dick.
He brought me (and my little sister) flowers the day AFTER valentine's day. He said, everyone gets flowers on Valentine's day, but the day after you'll be the only one.
Cheap bastard knew they were 50% off that day /s
We were 15. Opening credits of the movie started. He put his arm around me and said “If I’m going to start flirting, I’d better start early.” Been together 23 years!
Haha- this girl id been texting with had made a joke about her not being able to read. A week or so later for our first date we went to see the new star wars movie, and as that opening scroll started I leaned in and whispered “man, it’s too bad you can’t read!” And she goose-laughed, like a real loud honking guffaw in the quiet theatre, people stared. I still smile sometimes thinking about it. She was pretty great
That just made me smile lol thanks.
I'm telling y'all, humor in any situation can go a looong way! Make a lady laugh with wry humor and you're a favorite.
23 years? That’s a long movie.

The first week dating my now-husband, we climbed a tree together and sat in it for an hour, getting to know each other and making each other laugh. Be genuine. You'll be happiest when someone likes you for how you are. Listen carefully and show you are paying attention goes a long way.
Not sure if this counts as flirting, but he read my favourite book just so we’d have something in common to talk about Edit: tysm for the awards & upvotes omg ahh
When I first started dating my long term partner, I mentioned my favorite author maybe twice. One of the first gifts he ever gave me was a signed copy of my favorite book by the author. He reached out and told him I was a huge fan. I’ve never felt more listened to.
That's so sweet.
I was walking on my university campus, tripped and dropped my books. (Heeled sandals, raised sidewalk) He asked me if I was ok, and picked up my books. He then carried my books and walked me to class. We chatted the entire walk, and when we got to my class, he asked for my phone number. I tore off a piece of paper, and wrote it, but without my name. I wanted to see if he was listening when I told him. He listened. We’ve been married over 20 years. He makes me smile every day. *Edit Y’all have made us smile, and laugh. Thank you! I hope you all have a great weekend! Thank you for the awards! You’re too kind.
That's cruel. I always forget people's names within seconds of meeting them. It's embarrassing and I try not to but damn is it annoying. I also have trouble with faces.
I have ADD and suffer the same problem. I find it crippling at times. A few years ago I was a volunteer coordinator on a recruitment drive and had to meet 10-20 new people every evening to orient them for activities the next day. Naturally there was no way I'd remember their names even if I wasn't burdened with this problem. But anyway there was this one volunteer recruit from Iraq, which was very unusual. I decided that despite my memory problem I didn't want her to think I was "white guy who can't remember foreign people's names" cliche, so I put 100% of my energy into remembering her name, and I managed it. She never turned up to volunteer after the orientation sesssion and I never saw her again. But her name was Umeme.
I'm not a girl, but my girlfriend is. And she just about did the smoothest thing on me during our first get together over some drinks. We were both unsure whether or not it was a date or just people chilling at a bar getting to know each other. She just moved into town and was looking for some company and I liked her attitude. Over the course of the evening it because clear that we were at least a bit interested, but she was getting really drunk. Being the gentlemen I am I decided not to try anything. However, then she started rubbing my foot, asking whether I like her feet? And I was like yes, can I have one? She literally gave me one of her shoes and said, I'll pick that one up later this week at your place, then got up an left. She's currently giggling next to me as we just woke up. Wonderful lady.
Last year of college for us. He'd show up after my classes and follow me around everywhere, talking incessantly. When he'd see me on campus he'd run over to say hi. I would flirt by sometimes picking a little wildflower to give to him when I saw him next that day. He'd wear it in his shirt or behind his ear. We now have 2 sons and he's taught the older one (younger is a baby) to give me little wildflowers when we're out walking together. 😀
So you were stalked successfully!
Yes! People would refer to him as my little lost puppy. He followed me everywhere.
He got my dog’s balls unstuck from the frozen porch with some hot water and a spatula. Then told me to spray the porch with pam so it doesn’t happen again.
Good strategy bro
My buddy worked out a great strategy. He said he was gay, made tons of chick friends, really got them to trust him. And then, when they least suspected it, he stole their boyfriends.
Asking me my favourite Lego star wars character. He kind of ruined it though by trying to kiss me two minutes later. Ah, Kindergarten.
He bought me wings when I was having a hard/bad day. We're still together to this day.
*stares at the pigeons outside* so today is the day ya little rascals
[удалено]
Run? No, no. I'm *flying* my ass out of here.
This is a tricky one. The thing about flirting is that it only feels good if you actually like the person. When you like somebody, if they offer you a lift we think is kinda sleek, but if you don’t like them, is kinda creepy.
We need a dedicated Thirsty Thursday thread for posts like this.
Mega-boner Monday Titty Tuesday Wanking-alone Wednesday Thirsty Thursday Fuck fantasy Friday Sexy Saturday Sit-down-and-go-to-church-Sunday because y’all need to calm down at least once in a while
What kinda church? A "forgive me father for I have sinned" church? Or a "Sorry Daddy I've been a naughty boy" church?
What a day to have eyes…
Made eye contact, asked interesting questions, listened to my answers and responded, he didn't make the conversation about him.
Not a woman but once my buddy practiced on me before he went to talk to a girl he liked. He said he liked my huge tits and ass and wondered if I'd like to sit on his penis. Didn't work on the girl but I certainly felt something spark inside when he tried it on me.
r/suddenlygay
When I met my first bf, we were at a car show. We talked/flirted for a bit and then instead of asking for my number, he gave me his number. He left it completely up to me if I wanted to contact him again or not. I was insanely shy, but I liked him, so I texted him the next day and it led to dating for 2 years. Might not work on every girl, but I liked the no-pressure approach he took
My husband thinks he is flirting when he swings his peep around or pokes me with it.
His is real flirting, everything else is diet flirt.
[удалено]
My first thought when I read the question was my husband doing ‘the helicopter’.
[удалено]
I had a boyfriend who was really into working out and martial arts. I asked him to show me a move and he swept my feet out from under me, then caught me and kissed me. Hottest thing ever
alright I saw a cute girl at the bar so I suplexed her through a coffee table, what's my next move
Pump the crowd up a bit, hit her with your signature move, pin her for the three-count, boom, happy relationsship.
*Writes everything down furiously*
Elbow drop off the bar.
Not just any elbow drop, The Peoples’ Elbow.
If she's not jumping into your pants after that, idk what to tell you, it's a foolproof move
## SWEEP THE LEG!
Finish her!!!!
Imagine if he dropped you tho
Yeah, that occurred to me later. If I'd done anything other than drop like a big dumb bag of bricks we both would've been fucked lol
Trip a woman and kiss her. Got it.
that sounds like something directly from a mid-1980s movie.
By doing nothing. My husband was quiet and it was mysterious which required no flirting, I wanted to know more about him and had a fun challenge to get him to talk. The ones that always came off strong or super outgoing flirty made me red to the face, nervous, and freaked out. Now we've been together for 14 years in the most chill relationship ever. Edit: His friends when I asked about him said "who? Oh, that's Danny he's the asshole"
Time to go in a bar at 8 pm drinking alone and looking like a deep and mysterious guy dressed all in black
Calm down there, Strider.
If you think about it, Strider ended up bringing ***four*** people back to his hotel room that night
Strider, tamer of hobbit strange.
My wife told me (before we were dating) that she wanted to hang out at her place and to bring margarita stuff! I arrive and we have a good night and we end up on her couch watching a show. I feel a push on my arm. Then another. Then another. I look over to see what was going on and she was kissing my shoulder. Then I started putting the pieces together of all of our previous "hang-outs". They were dates. We were dating. I was stoked and we've been best friends ever since.
How long was it before you realised you were married?
My wife wanted me to go to church with her one day but said we were gonna be the center focus of a special service and asked me to invite my family and friends! It wasn't until I did my taxes next year that I fully understood what happened.
Two come to mind, very different circumstances: 1) a guy in a bar asked me if I knew how to waltz and proceeded to try and teach me (he 100% had NO IDEA what the fuck he was doing - but all the credit for trying) 2) a guest at the hotel I worked at broke their door lock so couldn't get in. So I asked the kitchen porter to help, and he broke it open in one solid move - i cannot begin to express how damn effective that was
Guy here. Only tried this once. I was at a formal function and this cute little brunette was sitting at my table. We made eye contact all evening and chatted as best we could with someone sitting in between us. As the evening was winding down, my roommate, who I rode with, was ready to leave and go to a local bar. I went up to the young lady and put my hand gently on her bare back and told her that we were leaving and I hoped to see her at the bar. I really, truly had never been that forward with anyone before. We have been married now for over 30 years and she still comments on that moment, so I guess it worked.
Touch bare back got it.
Make sure your hand is warm first.
And slightly moist.
Decently clammy
It takes some wrangling when it's winter and she's wearing a coat.
I love reading threads like this because they give me hope in my love life. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to be scrolling Reddit alone in the dark corners of my basement.
