Whether you’re a guy or gal, you have signature flirtation devices that make you stand out. It could be the simple flash of your pearly whites, the classic hair flip or even a casually tossed off pickup line. Whatever it is, I’m willing to argue that Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell tried it and attempted to perfect it. His collection of smooth lines and cool-guy attitude made him the ultimate heartthrob back in the day. So, you’ve seen every episode of the show a thousand times, and you’re still clueless? Here are a few tips to help you flirt better than Zack Morris.
First, be confident. You are a majestic human being, and you are capable of so much more than you realize. You are strong. You are important, and you can definitely flirt well enough to land a coffee date with that cute guy or pretty girl you saw after class yesterday. There’s an empowering pep-talk, now go talk to him/her! Think about it: do you ever remember seeing Zack Morris approach a prospective date looking like he didn’t know what he was doing? Absolutely not. Remember when he met Stacey Carosi? She was pretty intimidating, but he didn’t back down.
Next, compliment them. Do you ever just like to hear that what you’re wearing is nice? I do. Do you ever just like to know that you’re funny? Uh, yeah! Of course, you do, and so do other people. Somehow, Zack Morris always had a way with catchy compliments, which was basically and time he interacted with Kelly Kapowski.
Now, be smooth about it. Don’t be a pervert, and most certainly, under any circumstances, throw up an awkward peace sign or say, “swag” when they interact with you. I can tell you from personal experiences these are terrible ways to interact with a person you’re interested in. You’ve got this!
Be clever. Everyone loves wit and charm. I’m not saying you have to be a total ham, but I feel like if someone quoted a Zack Morris pickup line, they’d at lease get cool points. Crack a joke or quote some poetry. Find your style, and see if they go for it. You’ll only fail if you don’t try.
Finally, the most important tip: be yourself. Zack Morris is unique in the aspect that he was all original. Add your own super-fly style, and don’t try to be someone you’re not. People see right through that. If the person you’re flirting with likes you, you would want it to be for who you really are. After all, it will get pretty complicated trying to keep up an image that doesn’t come naturally.
The next time you see your crush or significant other, flirt with them. It’s the little things, you know? Once you tell them you read this article, they’ll probably swoon and praise you because you’re a flirty genius that obviously does their homework. Kudos to you, kid.
