I can't stress this enough, only sfw guys.
Also did anybody notice that the more times you say flirting the weirder the word sounds?
Anyway, somebody had an old dead topic on how to write believable flirting. How do you write flirting in your stories? Or does nobody flirt at all? Are some of your characters just so suave that everyone thinks they're flirting when they're not?
My character Alicia is not typically much of a flirt, but there's a lot more flirting in the second book than in the first as she's gaining the confidence to flirt with her crush a little bit. Meanwhile her crush doesn't have to do virtually anything to make her blush, his flirting is pretty subtle.
He hesitates for a minute with a quick glance at my outfit.
“Are you sure you’re alright in those heels?”
“I’m fine,” I smile, “you practically live in heels when you’re as short as I am. It’s easier than yelling when you want to get someone’s attention.”
“I can’t imagine you’ve ever had trouble getting attention,” he smiles playfully, “You’re just Venus condensed.”
“-I’d like to plan you a little birthday something if that’s okay with you.”
He’s still looking at me like I’m out of my mind, but there’s a hint of interest in the dark eyes, behind the expression he keeps blank enough to completely - almost completely - mask what he’s thinking.
“Have at it if you like, but I’m warning you, my mom’s set a high bar. She made me a little bit of a party connoisseur, you know. You think you can impress me?”
“Oh yeah,” I smirk, crossing my legs with a diva-ish air, “That’s not a concern.”
I dare to smile a little teasingly and watch the poker face waver, just a tad -
“-I have a certain secret weapon that your mother didn’t make.”
