dog that's easy just go with what your melonheart tells you

and invite them to go dungeon crawling
that's like epic flirting right there

Text; anonymous

[blurrier]

is that like a special magic item???

OH YOU MEAN MY HEART

wait or do you mean a magic item

OH like play video games??

[They do play video games together but he's never thought about trying a co-op dungeon crawler...]

[laminae]

no it's like your heart sort of
uh maybe just go with your heart

no i mean actual dungeons
with sick loot and boss fights
though i guess you could also totes invite them to play video games that'd be fun too

Do you really think this is the most important thing right now? Really?

[he also has no idea]

[blurrier]

I can't just stop living my life??? :(

[scotch_egg]

Fair.

[he can't argue that]

Have you tried asking them?

text; un: why

[missingache]

If they tease you, that's apparently flirting?

Or that's how it's been with my bf... Teasing back in return seems to work!

Text; anonymous

[blurrier]

but he's been teasing me since the beginning???
he says he likes to tease me!
and I said I liked him teasing me

[Not... Even realizing this may reveal who he is to Katsuki if he ever reads this oops.]

text; un: why

[missingache]

If he's only teasing you, then that's a sign he likes you.

I still think you should try and tease him back and see how he reacts.

Find out what they want or need and give it to them.

Affection through bribery.

[blurrier]

ooohhhh
like...what kind of stuff might they want or need??? items?? money??

[oh god Crowley be careful]

Anon reply

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Careful? What is careful? ]

Exactly. If they like sushi, bring sushi... if they like jewelry, get them a stone... Works every time.

I would recommend just asking. If they are, wonderful; if they aren't, then the misconception is cleared and you can both go on with your lives. Trust me, it's much less awkward that way.

I think that would probably work with a lot of ppl
But I just dunno if it would work well with him...
He might like...
Freeze up again
He did that once

Um but then so did I once...

He's not always great at expressing his feelings
I can usually kinda understand anyway??
But the flirting thing is just so new to me I dunno how to tell

[Ghaleon briefly puts down the phone to prayerhands at this response. Why do people have to make these sorts of things so needlessly complicated...?]

I see. Personally, I prefer it when people just directly ask instead of taking months before finding out no, I'm not flirting, this is just how I talk, but it's your choice, I suppose.

Maybe if you describe what makes you think he might be flirting with you, I can try to give advice based on that.

Well, they usually praise you more than you would usually be praised, compliment you more than you might usually be complimented, gently touch your hand or push back hair from your face.

I was flirted with all the time before I married. Of course, my husband and I still flirt with one another.

[Give him a minute, he's trying to recall these things...]

he's said some nice things about me
usually when i'm not even expecting it!
i think i'm a lot more of a touch-y person than he is...
but he does touch me back!
and he always squeezes my hand whenever we hold hands...

[Now ask him how many times they've held hands. Answer: several.]

that's really sweet that you guys still flirt with each other!
it sounds really romantic
i hope i can have that one day too

Text;

[pan_acea]

¡Muy bien! It does sound like he likes you! You should take the next step and ask him on a date, don't make him do all the work, si?

I'm sure one day you will!

Are you comfortable with the flirting? Because I think I'm dealing with the same thing too.

Girls have been flirting with me since school started.

Text; anonymous

[blurrier]

i think i'd be really really happy to know he was flirting with me
i do really like when he teases me

that's not nice though if ppl are making u uncomfortable in school!

[whatsamada]

Then if you do like it when he flirts with you, then it would be good to flirt back right? That is what you're supposed to do?

[Because like hell Ken knows anything about romance!!]

And I'm not even sure what to do either!

[Varian is the absolute worst at flirting in the entire universe. He is the least qualified person to give advice on this but here he is.]

Okay so the important thing to remember with flirting is to lay it on thick. Hit them with a witty line like "if you and I were socks, we'd make a great pair!" Oh or something like "do you have a bandage because I scraped my knee falling for you." Finger guns are great too! People love finger guns when you flirt with them.

[Literally no one likes these things, Varian is just tragically unaware he can't actually flirt. Please don't do any of these things, Yoosung. Please. ]

[Too late, he's taking notes.]

oh... those are pretty cute lines...
and they work on guys?
ah well I guess they would bc they'd probably work on me haha

[REVEALING YOU'RE A GUY, YOOSUNG. What is maintaining anonymity.

To be fair these lines would only work on him if they were coming from someone he literally already liked. Otherwise he'd probably just think they were making silly jokes. Especially with added finger guns.]

[Zelos has been watching some of this go down with some amusement, before finally deciding to chime in]

Now now, no need to fret! Zelos Wilder, angel of love, has heard your prayers and am now gracing you with my wisdom.

So! What kind of stuff are they doing to make you think they're flirting?

[...this guy is definitely giving him a memory of someone his past self knew. Zen? Yup, he sounded just like that.

Anyway give him a few minutes to write a goddang novel here with possibly too many details. sORRY ZELOS, YOU ASKED??]

um well he likes teasing me
and i've told him i like him teasing me
once i said i'd be okay with it if he liked teasing me the most
and then the other day he said he'd be okay with it if i liked him teasing me the most???

we almost always end up really close together when we hang out
or holding hands
i usually start it but he reciprocates and even squeezes my hand

last night was p intense emotionally
he leaned against me first last night

this morning he had a new outfit and i think noticed i was checking him out and then he came really close to me and even blocked me in a doorway!!
i was complimenting him and touching his new clothes and i said things in kind of a cute way??
and then he hooked his finger in the collar of my shirt and pulled on it and said something that was teasing me
and then i said something i think was too forward and i immediately panicked and shouted accidentally and startled him into backing off
and then i made this post...
