Dude... I've been wondering this same thing for a long, long time. I didn't know what "flirting" actually
was when I started pickup, and I'm still not sure of what the hell it actually means, because it's not a technique. Lol.
I just realized how much of a dork I am. I just looked up "flirting" in the fucking dictionary.
Quote:
Flirting is a form of human interaction between two people, expressing a romantic and/or sexual interest. It can consist of conversation, body language, or brief physical contact. It may be one-sided or reciprocated.
In "community" terms, you SOI her in some way and you both let each other know that you're attracted to one another.
So what your friend said made sense. As a poker player would say, you've got to
give action to
get action. If you aren't expressing any interest in the girl, she's going to be reluctant to express interest in you because she's afraid of getting shot down.
I know, I know, this is the "seduction community" and expressing actual interest in a girl is an "AFC" thing to do, but SERIOUSLY. Letting a girl know that you're interested in her will open her up to you mighty quick, especially if you do it 1) early, 2) tastefully, and 3) non-needily.
So next time you see this girl, you say: "Hey. I like you. Let's hang out together this weekend."
