I am a sucker for puns... and wit and sarcasm. Throw in a couple of well timed smirks and a wink or two and I'm a goner.Â
Also confidence coupled with slight awkwardness in intimate situations? Check off the yes box for that method too.
Well hello ther
Look out, he's about to Berry you in puns!
*laughs* Though it seems you have a head start sir...
Bring 'em on boys (or ladies, or etc... I'm not picky)Â
RE: Flirting techniques - inspiration and referencing - Val - 01-08-2015
Val rarely ever flirts. He's too barbarous and tends to just tell the woman they're attractive or blatantly ask for intercourse.
When he does try to flirt, however, he does so mostly to seduce and therefore only does it with his significant other. At that point, he flashes that cocky grin of his, whispers a few things that he knows will make her blush, then closes the deal with an offer once he realizes they're thoroughly enthralled.
Cyrus doesn't flirt anymore because he's dead. I think he'd be too shy/bashful to do it if he did.
Melfice doesn't like physical contact, and so he generally doesn't do it either. If he does, it's because his Mistress has enticed him in some way and he just commands what he wants out of her.
Vallois is too filled with angst to do so otherwise, and spends most of his time worrying about where his next meal will come from. He'd probably offer a pretty smile to a lady if it meant she'd feed him for the night.

This is what could have been between Obsidian Hornet and Dogberry.
You could have never had her Dogberry, do not torment yourself so!
Oh, but it's nothing compared to the torture of having her.

I watched (well, overheard...) a guy trying to flirt with Aeylis at the Quicksand.
She was gentler in bursting his bubble than I would have expected from a woman whose wiki reports barbarian-level strength.

I'll admit, I've had some pretty terrible experiences with people trying to pick my character up since I started RPing on Balmung. I'm a little bit more wary, than some, due to this. I suppose this is kind of an irony, since I used to be a massive flirt in TOR, and faced little to no harassment there in-character; and yet in ffxiv, I play an exceptionally grumpy, and very introverted character. So, if I were to be approached, or I were to approach someone, this is kinda my thoughts on what I'd prefer, and appreciate, and how I'd treat others.Â
Sincerity, first and foremost. It's easy to tell when someone is completely full of it. If it feels forced, it is. Ultimately, be yourself, with self-awareness.Â
Keep your hands to yourself, starting out at least. No need to put any pressure on anyone. Â
Yeah, no pressure. Keep it light, keep it fun. I suppose the difference between flirting, and picking someone up, is the intent. You'll want to put the person at ease, and make them feel like they're special, and more importantly, that there are no strings attached to your attention. Put away any and all expectations. If you make the person feel good about themselves, you'll probably feel pretty good about you, too.Â
A sharp wit. Thoughtfulness, and a sense of humor, is awesome. Don't be disparaging with the humor or jokes. Engage the person you're conversing with. If the conversation is stilted, or you're struggling to find the humor in your conversation, then it's probably best to move on.Â
Confidence. The only person that needs to know you're awesome, is you. Everyone else will see it if they look. Overconfidence is a massive turn-off, in my opinion. Ask only once if they're having a good time.Â
Suppose those are my basics. Hope it helps!

Edgar does not flirt.
Intentionally.

How embarrassing haha!
She's a sweet person, and definitely don't hulk smash if someone is flirting! Â Now, if they persist after she informs them that she is unavailable....

The Spahro method.
1) Find mark.
2) Approach with confidence.
3) Accuse them of having improper relations with carnivorous flora.
4) Inform them of your previous relations with their parents.
5) Explain which orafices of theirs will be violently filled with living creatures.
6) Go home alone.
RE: Flirting techniques - inspiration and referencing - Salinas - 01-08-2015
Caelia is the most awkward when flirting intentionally if your name isn't Noxaelius Avantine. Her 'flirtatious attempts' are very misleading. She's actually very friendly, oblivious, and will not notice your romantic notions of trying to sweep her off her feet.
Will pass off for you being friendly.
What a dumb.

What's Spahro doing next Friday? Does she like Ishgardian fondue? C will pick her up at eight.
