Teasing
-
Teasing is a playful and casual way for a guy to flirt with a girl. Some lighthearted and gentle teasing can go a long way in the art of flirtation. Inoffensive teasing might include being contrary and having opposing opinions from her (whether on favorite movies or preferred cuisines). You could urge her to belt out a song on karaoke night. Just be careful to not go overboard with your teasing; keep it harmless.
Humor
-
It is important to convey your sense of humor to a girl when you are trying to flirt with her. If you act stiff or humorless, you are likely to come across as a dullard to her, and she may blow you off immediately. Showing a sense of humor is not simply about telling jokes with punchlines; it also can involve directing the flow of your conversation in an easygoing and laid-back manner. Do not act like everything is so serious. Relax and have fun, because that's what flirting should be about.

Questions
-
Being a good conversationalist is key for effective flirting. If you engage a girl in a strong conversation, it will signify to her that you're interested. Ask her questions about herself and make her feel important. Find out where she grew up, her favorite flavor of ice cream and what she likes to do on weekends. Be sure to tell her things about yourself, as well. Avoid awkward silences and be responsible for directing the pace of the discussion.
Body Language
-
Eye contact is the primary form of body language that is necessary in the beginning flirtation stage. Whether you are looking to get a girl's attention from across a bustling party or participating in a one-on-one conversation with her, steady eye contact is essential. If you are trying to make eye contact from afar, try to catch her looking back at you, smile briefly for about three seconds and then look away. If you are speaking to her directly and alone, make sure that your eye contact stays focused, intent and sincere. Avoid being the creepy guy that never looks away, though; subtlety is crucial. Other flirtatious body language signals include smiling (which shows openness and approachability), tilting your head, licking your lips and winking (which shows your playful and mischievous side).
Compliments
-
Another way to make a girl feel special and confident that you are flirting with her is by complimenting her. Tell her something genuine about her that you really appreciate, whether it's that you love her necklace or her silky dark brown hair. Keep the compliments in moderation, though, to avoid coming across as insincere.
