So I texted a female friend of mine and this is what she said:

Honestly there's no way to say there is one right way to hit on a woman without coming off as creepy because everyone is different. Every woman seeing that shit different

As long as you are genuine, that's all that matters

Also being very aware of social cues. If a woman does not seem interested (avoiding eye contact, pulling physically away, giving short answers, saying excuse to cut the conversation short), then please catch on to those hints and leave the woman be

It's more about reading the woman's body language and response than it is about finding a good way to hit on woman. Hopefully that makes sense

This is helpful advice, but what are some specific things that I can say / do that actually work for flirting? I’m really drawing a blank when it comes to concrete examples for flirting that work with most women / are “default” things to do that work well generally.
