How to Flirt – five Rules for Flirting with Indian Ladies

“How to flirt with the damsel at school/college/work I’ve commenced liking? Please help. I don’t know where to commence from.”

After What to do? My parents are not agreeing to my marriage!! and Should I break up??, the commonly asked question which I’ve determined to tackle today is “How to flirt with Indian chicks?”

If I were not permitted to react to that with more than just ONE sentence, that sentence would be:

All the rules of my How to Flirt With Indian Women one hundred one which I’m going to lay down below are derivative of this one basic rule.

#1.Commence flirting with her online

Most guys feel bashful to embark a conversation with a chick face to face. If you’re wondering “How to flirt with a female if facing her makes me jumpy?” – don’t worry; turn to online talk (even if you know your dame in real life). Not having to face or directly talk to the doll you like takes the pressure off to a excellent extent and helps you be yourself, which is the very first step of flirting successfully.

#Two.Never showcase desperation while flirting with a doll

Nothing turns women off more than under-confident desperation. I’ve already talked about this in the discussion on how to impress women. It’s identically pertinent to the one on how to flirt with damsels. Don’t be apologetic for taking her time (damsels hate that). Don’t ping her telling “hi”. Ping her telling, “Hi XYZ! How’re you doing?” In case she doesn’t reply the very first time you ping her, never use the same opening line the next time. Begin by something like, “Hey XYZ! The ABC movie you’d collective was hilarious. Where did you find it?” It shows you’re not talking to her because you’re desperate, but because you’ve got something real to say. You get the point.

#Three.Don’t give it ALL

A corollary of point #Two is – don’t be her dog. You’re flirting with your chick; you’re not her beau yet. You need to attract her very first, before you showcase her how responsible you are. So while flirting with a doll, don’t be the oh-so-caring I’ll-do-anything-for-you-including-daily-chores man-in-waiting of hers – that can wait for life after marriage. 😛 For now, that kind of behaviour will make her like you as a friend and a pet – not as a man she feels attracted to.

#Four.Complimenting her is a must

If you want to successfully flirt with a dame – especially an Indian dame – striking a balance inbetween sounding thirsty and sounding bold is key. Don’t commence with, “Hey! You’re looking hot in that photo you recently posted. ;)” On the other arm, if it has been a week that you’ve began talking/talking with her and you haven’t actually gotten around to complimenting her even once yet, chances are you’re not going anywhere. Compliments don’t always have to be on her looks. And they need to sound natural, casual and certain. Which brings me to …

#Five.Test waters continuously while flirting with a dame

Each chick has her distinct level of convenience with flirting. Some stop talking to you if you call them hot, while some feel offended if you don’t. 😉 Continuously test her thresholds while flirting with a chick. Attempt a hint, like, “You’re the most interesting damsel I know.” If she responds favourably (favourable responses include 😛 😉 J), after a few days attempt, “Of late I’ve began looking forward to you coming online every day.” If that goes ok too, attempt, “If you were not so busy, I’d have loved to go for a coffee with you sometime.” You get the point. You need to be bold enough rapid enough to hold her interest, while making sure you don’t offend her.

What are the golden rules which worked when you embarked flirting with your lady? Let me know by leaving a comment.

Some stop talking to you if you call them hot, while some feel offended if you don’t.

Lolzzz… yeah we know how true that is and how confounding that is to well-meaning guiltless boys. 😛

😛 .. Thanks for ripping off by Deepak.

That’s a superb post 🙂

To flirt with a chick, you have to be positive very first..

If you keep smiling every time, the lady you like will be more attracted to you.. Then, you can treatment her and give compliments by making an eye contact.. Letting her know that you like her is also a good way to flirt with a female..

Thanks for a good post 🙂

You’re so right about the desperation bit. Till date I’ve never been able to bring myself up to responding to dude who pings me on Facebook with stuff like that.

We all know how irritating it feels at times. 😉

yaa thats all correct

Hiiiiiii cem sujata

One more very significant point – SPEND Fountains ON HER! That’s the surefire way of impressing any Indian lady. And if that’s not there, there’s no other way of doing it.

It’s unfortunate Raj that a disturbing majority of youthfull damsels tend to conform to the negative stereotypes like the one you’ve portrayed.

But I can assure you any requests of spending lots on her is something which you should NEVER relent to.

If that’s the only way of keeping her interested in you, let her go as prompt as she can run. 😉

If that’s not the case, she’ll not behave that way. Trust me, 100% of women are not like that. 🙂

sure not 100% , but majority of damsels, that is sure.

Thanks for ripping off by. 🙂

ok fine then.99 % of the ladies r like tht/ not one hundred %.. glad ? 😀

“Disturbing Majority” well i dont blame u gals… if the damsel is sweet enough to understand her so called friends spoil her . anyways in the end i’d say jus a 4% of ladies aren’t of the negative stereotype. well either ways it is up to the stud to treat both types of damsels.. i shall be true to the word We still have a few indeed sweet ladies around to have a wonderful relation with // so kudos to our beloved country 😉

I disagree. If you spend geysers of money on a chick – you don’t truly impress or attract her, she just strings up around you so that she can freeload off you. There is a specific tag linked to this type of women. Rest assured, it is a more indirect form of prostitution. The moment the money stops running, you wouldn’t know what hit you – before she vanishes.

And this is not just an Indian women thing. Indian women are more direct when it comes to gold digging, because it is socially accepted for women to do so AND for dudes to be so desperate that they’d use money as a bait to ‘impress’ women.

Now with d enlargening awareness levels (courtesy media & other sources) its becoming increasingly difficult to communicate with women (leave behind about approaching them)…They become sceptical even if masculines treatment them for some genuine reason(not flirting). “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore”-Facebook quote

Thanks for bringing that up swapnil. Well caution taken to the level of fright never helps anyone.

It’s unfortunate that in this country romantic relationships and sexual harassment are somehow considered related.

Will these technics work on a married woman? The one I’m thinking of is the female of my wishes, and I don’t want anybody else but her.

Hmm. Tricky question Vivek.

I’ll tell you the truth.

At the risk of getting cyber-stones thrown at my cyber-head.

Most women (myself included) love flirting – in some way or the other. For many, it’s recreational, it’s arousing – it gives them a high (even however most of them will never admit that ;)). And – this is significant – this may not always have anything to do with real love. For example I can lightly visualize a married woman loving a few minutes of harmless online flirting without even thinking about being unfaithful to her spouse – that is, without having any intention of getting into anything more serious with the stud she’s flirting with. This is flirting as entertainment – flirting for the sake of flirting. I don’t see much wrong with this. If you’re after some light joy and enjoyment you can attempt this with a married woman only if you’re certain she’s ok with it. The dangers of going ahead without testing the waters here (see point #Five) need no emphasis, especially in India.

However if you’re telling “you don’t want anyone but her”, I assume you’re looking for more than joy. 😉 And that, is enormously serious business, especially in India.

Are you talking in love with a married woman?

Is the lady also in love with you?

If not, are you at least sure she’s (for whatever reason – abusive hubby, lack of compatibility, infidelity by spouse) not in love with her spouse?

Your course of act would depend on the answers to the above questions.

Rule #1 of voicing interest in married people – whatever you do, don’t ever do anything that insults their spouse. You don’t have that right unless you’ve been given that right.

Let me explain. For example, let’s say you don’t know much about the state of this lady’s relationship with her hubby. They might be in love with each other like a “normal” duo. Or they may not be. You don’t know.

Now. You can commence flirting with her lightly. But the message you convey should be limited to, “I admire you, I’m enamoured by you, I think you’re special.” It should never be, “I want you as my gf.”

Do you see the difference?

For example, you can attempt, “I’ve admired you from a distance for a very long time. You’re attractive and intelligent – a infrequent combination.”

Even if she gives you positive indications, you should never ever say, “Baby!” Or “Can I call you sometime when your hubby is not at home?” These are direct indications of you wanting her as your gf. And you don’t know yet whether she’s in love with her spouse or not. So this kinda stuff is a stringent no-no.

Does that help? I’d truly like to know.

its a big turn on when a dame calls u ‘baby’ inbetween a conversation.. haha .. how many agree to this ? ;D
