7. Teasing
Teasing is something that has probably gone hand-in-hand with flirting since humans learned to stand on two legs. Teasing is probably one of the first ways the majority of people learn the basics of flirting, but that does not mean it is limited to kids. Even adults flirt by poking a little fun at someone they have an interest in, and most of the time it is well received. Still, there’s a fine line between teasing someone because you like them and coming off as a mean-spirited person that likes to put others down for their own entertainment. Most people can detect the subtle clues that indicate someone is genuinely hurt or offended by something that was said, so be sure to put the brakes on in those cases.
