Franz cooks.
...but really, he has no idea how to relationship. He's usually kind and can be patient with the right people? So there's an effort, but most of the time, there's no flirting. People either like Franz or want him dead.Â
I try to keep him in either unamused or professionally polite. What's weird are the people who do like him. He's got no idea why.

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.

That word "slight" - knowing exactly what that means, without being told, is more valuable than a gem mine.

1. Act aloof and disinterested in sex/relationship to make yourself seem like a challenge and make it all the more flattering when others believe you have an interest in them.
2. Show enough skin to catch their interest, yet never enough to sate their curiosity or make yourself seem a harlot!
3. Smile pretty, bat your eyelashes, say what they want to hear, coo sweet nothings in their ear.
4. Always leave them wondering! Be mysterious, intriguing, demure, and maybe a little dangerous!
5. Let them look but not touch.
6. Act capable, but then falter at the last moment to let them swoop in and be your hero, let them feel in control and useful.
7. Ultimately, the last step: Get what you want from them and immediately turn the charm off. :v
I dub this the beginning of a new website - fayetropes.org
Plz no, I still haven't made it through the entirety of tvtropes.org despite all the hours days of my life it's consumed.

Flirting technique...ah...just...a-ah, why are you looking at me like that? I-Is there something on my f-face?
Aka, Siha's flirting technique is to not flirt at all usually? She just generally stammers and casts around for any topic of conversation that isn't flirtatious or herself!.....Or she throws boxes of cake at people, that seems to have worked once. >.>

Flirting... hmm... This one is tricky. When I made Vaughn, he was supposed to be beautiful and alluring just on looks alone, which is what made people interested in the first place. He never had to really develop flirting skills other than the occasional smile, smoldering gaze, small quick wink, and other tiny gestures. He was a whore so people came to him as it was just because he was pretty.
When it came time to play him though, he became invisible. Nobody looked at him. Nobody cared. He struggled to be noticed and it wasn't until he got frustrated and pushy when he attracted the one person who ever granted him the time of day.
So, yeah, push someone hard against a stone wall, spout your feelings forcefully, then walk away swaying your ass a bit XD
RE: Flirting techniques - inspiration and referencing - Oscare - 01-08-2015
In all seriousness, Oscare's complete lack and absence of being able to communicate like a human being and absence of people skills entirely is a huge downfall. The absence of both of these sets of skills is why he can't hold a single stable friendship outside of his family members.
... which is also the reason why he's losing in a certain race to the heart of a very specific midlander girl who shall go unnamed...
His flirting involves; "... if I can't buy you, welp, I'm screwed."

I don't believe X'unmei knows what flirting is. She's pretty oblivious when others flirt with her, and she's so sweet, shy, awkward and surprisingly witty that she needn't flirt to attract others. When she does flirt, though, I'm sure she's awkwardly complimentary and giggly.
Shadiyah's idea of flirting seems to be sauntering up to a total stranger, hips swaying, and coming on with some pretty obvious even if indirect advances. If those go ignored/unnoticed, she usually gets impatient and jumps straight to the point. "Make out with me, you idiot." And don't you dare say no...
Ael is still just trying to figure how to flirt or why anyone does it...

This is what could have been between Obsidian Hornet and Dogberry.
You could have never had her Dogberry, do not torment yourself so!

Everyone in this discussion will vouch that C'kayah spent the afternoon helping little old Lala ladies across Pearl Lane and into the markets, earning him the respect and admiration of the Brass Blades, the Sultansworn, The Ala Mighans, The Syndicate, The U Tribe, and a number of small yet enthusiastic social organizations across Thanalan.
Isn't that right, everyone?
