Flirting is so complicated now that social media dictates our lives. I mean it’s the stupid things that take up my time like:
“He has to text me first!…right?”
“Do I follow them on twitter?”
“Should I like that Instragram pic or is that too much?”
When it comes to stalking, you can creep on your girl/guy all you want. Just don’t be that moron who likes an Instagram/Facebook post from 57 weeks ago. You must be thinking, “Wow she sounds like she knows what she’s talking about!” Yes I do and trust me, there is no way of taking it back or trying to talk yourself out of it so just let me give you a hand and I’ll loan you the shovel to dig your grave because RIP. Not only have I done it, but I have had it happen to me. It’s like “Oh, you had to skip over all the tailgating pictures and school posts to go to the summer pictures where I’m wearing a bikini. That’s not awkward at all…”
Another annoyance when dealing with flirting is the waiting game of who texts first. There is nothing I hate more than the idea that guys have to text first. I hear over and over how sometimes… I repeat… sometimes, on occasion, only sometimes do guys appreciate a girl texting first. If the guy comes up to you at the bar and gives you the number, the least you can do is try and spark a conversation.
Also, I’m the kind of person who double texts in middle of conversation and a lot of people don’t like it. I don’t think I am asking for too much when if you don’t respond for a couple of hours I ask "whatsup?" It is not that hard to send a text saying, “Hey I’m studying/busy/working out/eating/with the boys/anything," or "I’ll text you later.” Wow, how hard was that!? Don’t get annoyed when I double text because I’m interested in what you're doing. I know you’re busy, so am I. I just know that if I want to talk to someone, we talk. If you can’t tell me what you're up to or let me know that you're this uber busy guy, than I think you’re not interested or you’re ignoring me. Just, help a girl out and let them know you can’t talk.
Another fun fact: guys really don’t care all that much about your classes or if your roommate was being a bitch so just spare them. Sure, sometimes they think the drama is cute but how old are we? Talk about something worth while. Interests, music, anything that keeps a convo going.
Guys should really use an emoji every once in a while. They’re cute. Just do it, it won’t kill you... Girls on the other hand need to keep that emoji button in check. Girls: no guy wants five kiss faces and an assortment of hearts. They get it, you like them. I mean if you want to piss them off, send all that crap and see how it turns out for you. I’m assuming it’ll end with never getting a reply back for a little while (or at all).
Flirting (in the beginning) sucks. Getting that guy to try and ask you to hang out or getting the girl to seem interested is never fun. Just remember don’t change who you are for them.
Ladies, if he’s your David Beckham, pull some Posh moves and keep him around. Don’t change for anybody. Someone will like you for who you are.
