Being single sucks.
It just point blank sucks. And I’ve forgotten how to flirt.
Grr.
Rant.

PUT OUT THE VIBE. Just like you, guys get nervous about talking to a girl they like — especially if they think she’s unavailable or, worse, uninterested. So if you’re into a guy, give him a sign (and let him know you won’t laugh in his face) by making eye contact and flashing him a “go ahead, make your move” smile!
Aww dont worry, being in a relationship aint always so fun either.
And as for flirting it’ll come back to you.
being single is a pain in the *** and it has made me very bitter.i hate happy people.
CHALLENGE HIM. You know how fired up you get when you lose a round of Guitar Hero? Well, guys’ “I will not be defeated!” spirit can be even stronger. So get your crush’s competitive juices flowing by taking him on in a little one-on-one. Whether you win or lose, you’ll still be a champ in his eyes!
You’re young and being single should be part of the norm. I always thought that being single was the best thing in the world. You don’t have to answer to anyone. You can come and go as you please, and you can pick and choose who to date. And if you don’t like the person you’re dating, you break up with no strings attached and continue to look until mr. right comes along.

I try littlenick, I really do. And yet I am always the friend. Never the girlfriend, aint that always the way? lol
BE SORT OF THERE FOR HIM
Guys love the thrill of chasing what they think they can’t have. So let him wonder what you’re up to sometimes. Treat the amount of time you give him like cell phone minutes: Use sparingly at first and he’ll want more, more, more!

I agree. I rather be single, but I don’t have the heart to leave………yet.

I agree with littlenick, you gotta give him I sign, you know, give him a wink, or a wave, or you could were a t shirt that says ask me out now, but that might be going too far…
DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE HIM! In elementary school, a guy with a crush was a pigtail’s worst nightmare. Now that you understand what his motives were then, it’s time for payback. Reach out to him with a childish punch or noogie and his inner 6-year-old will be forced to respond!

Nah, pick and choose doesnt work so well if you cant find anyone. Single is good if its out of choice. If not it sucks.

Pretty sure, Im the one they tell when they fancy the other girls.
Why does everyone always use the word fancy now??
Uh anyway is there a guy you like right now?
Or has this rant just come out of the blue?
GREAT PLACES TO MEET GUYS.
CONCERTS: He’s in a feel-good groove. And since you like the same music, he’s likely to groove with you! I met a girl when she saw me doing air guitar at a concert.
GAS STATIONS: Filling up is boring. Pass time by trying move #1 (eye contact!) on the guy two pumps over! I told a girl, “so, I really like pumping ethel.” She almost slapped me. She thought I was being nasty.
VOLUNTEERING: With all the great karma that comes from doing good, you’re sure to make a connection. I remember one time I volunteered at a homeless shelter and she was there. The good thing about dating a homeless girl is that no matter where you drop her off, she’s home!
AMUSEMENT PARKS: Go in a group with an odd number — then ask a hot guy to sit with you on the Python! I asked a girl if she wanted to sit on my python and she almost slapped me because she also thought I was being nasty!
WAITING IN LINE: You’re both at the mercy of the slow barista at Starbucks. Why not talk about it? I told a girl there, “you know for a girl who drinks a lot of coffee, you don’t have much of cofee breath!”

Fancy is a british term, I have no idea if its come into fashion where you are.
Yes, there is sort of. But its mainly due to going camping with two couples and a few friends the other day, seeing all the romance.

Forget the fancy thing I just been seeing it around alot is all.
Regardless of where your feelings come from, have you tried anything with him.
Nope, he has a girlfriend so… no. I didnt mean that was why I like him, I meant that’s where the rant came from.
Oh now I understand.
Well if you dont mind me asking what do you mean you dont know how to flirt anymore?
You won’t stay single for long girlie, you’re far too gorgeous. Remember, if you’re single, you can do all the wonderfully debauched things that you can’t do in a a relationship… think what I told you earlier lol.

Ive only ever had one relationship, 2 years ish and it finished a few months back, now whenever I meet a guy I like I feel kind of awkward and dont know what to say, either that or Ive known them long enough that Ive gone into the comfortable friend flirting stage so when I mean it seriously they dont notice. I’ve just gotten a little flirt rusty lol.
And Jess, I know… but I’m not terribly passionate about those debauched acts right now.
Haha well being rusty shouldnt be anything to worry about maybe in the future when you like a guy whos your friends with you should be more direct about it, I know its harder but atleast it will get the point across.
Do you live alone PheeGee? If so, are you lonely, or do you keep yourself busy?

Yup I stay busy, busy busy busy, friends and parties and all that jazz, I am lonely but not from lack of company, its the darn depression that does that to you lol.
And I’ll try Nante, thanks.

I know what you mean. It seems like there is so much of that (depression) going around.
I know babe. Was just trying to make you laugh. I’m all about the debauchery :p
A good flirting technique is to touch their arm and smile and laugh, it makes people look more attractive.

I do it, but I do it with everyone… cos thats just how I am, so it doesnt work as an actual flirting thing.
Get up really close, lean in, and whisper something sultry into their ear

Meh, I know me, Id do something stupid like cough on them.
I think Im just gonna give up. Just go live in a forest. Take up perpetual “self love” as a hobby.
In some tribes that could be a good thing ;)
No giving up required. You might find a hot huntsmen in a forest though
Lol you didn’t specify what forest…
Huntsmen still exist you know, in the British aristocracy…

oh those! I was picturing the type that live in the woods.
Maybe it’s ok to be alone for a while and just enjoy you. I find when you’re not looking for someone, that someone comes around.

You don’t want to go out with just anyone, right? So you may have to take the chance and make it known to the person that you want, you’re interested.
i know exactly how you feel!
you just have to keep in practice with your flirting. Go to parties, dance, have fun, flirt with cute guys. So you may have some trouble at first, but its like riding a bike. you get it back. at some point, the right guy will come along. even if it takes awhile, you dont have to have a boyfriend. you can just date. you know, like going out on a date, but not making things official. its fun AND it helps you find a good guy.
That would be my problem, I never had to flirt. They just came around whether I wanted them too or not.
