    i used to have this trouble. have you tried asking your mates to set you up with girls.
    alls you've gotta do is be yourself+relax, and maybe having a few drinks helps if it makes you more relaxed.
    this alone may not be the reason for your long-term single life, you obviously just haven't found a girl right for you. just relax and try not to rush into things :)

    Just be yourself, and relax. There's no hard and fast rules to flirting, it all depends on who you are with and where you are.

    But if you're chilled you'll find the flirty answers are right there on your tongue. But people don't want a set of corny lines, they want the real person. Find the right person to flirt with and you'll be fine.

    The "being yourself" advice is good advice. However, the problem is when you can't think of something quickly enough. I find that in real life I'm a bit slow when it comes to thinking of the right thing to say. This is where the cocky twats with the gift of the gab have the upper hand by a long way.

    yeh thats the thing, i never know the right things to say or anything and mess it up, or dont say anything, and they just get bored... and the only people who have tried it on me without me trying it on them, or even knowing them are guys, and old guys at that, like lecturers :S to the point of coming over to me in front of everyone a tbar and saying "youve got lucky tonite mate" and blowing me a kiss, which is nice and i take it as a compliement, but its never who i like, who happen to be female!
    (btw ive questioned myself before, but only women have ever turn me on :P)

    and the comment about not meeting the right girl, i have met a couple fo great girls this year and last, but they always land up with ssomeone else beforte i bother making a move, the girl i love to bits has a boyfriend now and i may be jealus, icant help that, but shes happy and despite negative comments from her other mates, i reckon her and him make a good couple, even if he does treat her how i used to when she was single :S iguess it jsut cause i never asked her out seriously :(

    and the girl i really like at the moment, shes really cool girl but shes a bit quiet, and wont give anything away, and im going placebo with her tomorow, but i dont knwo how or when to approach her, cause from knowing her (seen her like 4/5 times at most in past 2 and half months), i know i really should ask her out and emtional thing then the physical part of showing her you like her *kiss kiss* and not the other way round...

    ARGH WHY CANT I FLIRT!!!!! i really want her :(
