Flirting Tips: Timeless Advice for Lovebirds

Updated: Oct 8, 2024

Ah, flirting, that ancient art of subtle intrigue and mischief! It’s the dance—almost a waltz, really—where every smile, every coy laugh or lightly teasing word is measured to catch an attractive someone’s attention. With a touch of elegance and a pinch of hard-to-get elusiveness, it becomes an innocent diversion not unlike a game of chase with hearts.


There’s something almost timeless in its beauty; part potential romance and part arcane riddle; it’s the smell of the ocean on a windy night. Words ought to be like fine wine, my love… rich, deep with flavor, lingering long after the conversation has turned elsewhere.


Ah! In truth, darling, the act of flirting is as much the lead-in as anything else presenting itself on this great stage that some call life. It makes an old man like me chuckle nonetheless to imagine passion erupting all about us… even though these bones don’t move like they once did…



Classic Flirting


Eye Contact:

Meet their eyes as if you are sharing a secret that only the two of you know. The kind of look, my bestie, that speaks louder than words. And at this age we have so much to say without saying anything.


Smiling:

Ah, the power of a good smile. Flash that grin, one of those warm, knowing ones. It’s the kind of smile that could melt butter on a cold Goan night. Trust me, they’ll be drawn in before they know it.


Compliments:

Now, here’s where the silver tongue comes into play. Hand out compliments like you’re handing over freshly picked coconuts—sweet, refreshing, and oh-so-rare. A well-placed word of praise? It can work wonders, my dear.


Body Language:

Lean in, not too close, but enough to let them feel your presence. Keep ‘em on their toes, like they’re dancing barefoot on a beach after the tide’s gone out. That little bit of mystery—oh, it’s everything.


Feeling funny? Here’s one for you:

“You must be made of something special because every time I see you, my heart starts doing the corridinho!”


Props and Props:

Bring some old-time item like a pocket watch, or a silk handkerchief that you tell them is really an heirloom from when you first learned how to be charming. They’ll be more interested in you than the thing, I promise!


Unexpected Gestures:

Give them a little thoughtful something—a flower, maybe?—and say, “This made me think of you. Something small, but I hope you remember it forever.”


Role-Playing:

Oh, let’s not get too serious here! Pretend you’re in an old detective film and they’re the mystery you’ve been trying to solve for years. Keep the conversation fun, but with a touch of intrigue, like you’re uncovering secrets one by one.


Challenge and Tease:

Tease them, gently, like a playful conversation over a cup of tea. It’s all about making them laugh, and at our age, laughter is the true gateway to the heart, eh?


There you go, my dear, some old school flirting spiced with the wisdom of the elderly.
