Being extremely shy myself, I totally understand you. I have a hard time flirting but I kind of had to learn how to flirt in order to get my bf, so here is my theory of what works:
- LOTS OF SMILES. even the shy ones (my friends told me they find it really cute, specially if you blush as well)
- BODY LANGUAGE: nonverbal language is our main weapon while flirting. Making eye contact, running hands through your hair, smiles, making sure you have an open posture (crossed arms usually mean discomfort, so try not to do it near him, show him you're open and interested). Also, try to notice how he stands/acts near you or when he's looking at you.
- FRIENDLINESS: again, smiling back. Waving sometimes. Basically acknowleging his presence. Saying "hey" when you see him, etc.
All these things help, but don't forget to be yourself and stand up for yourself if needed (idk man, boys can be pretty stupid sometimes). Good luck!
Thank you! I'm going to try and remember some of these!
