Hey guys,

Here's a thing that's been mind-fucking me for a while: I know flirting is the act of showing sexual interest in someone without being overly direct. I can tease girls about stupid things they do and make them laugh but I can't take it past that. ex.) "You're such a dork." "You totally suck at [whatever]" Is there a difference between teasing a girl and flirting with her? Is what I'm doing mostly platonic? How can I show more intent in social circle situations?

Sorry if this seems pretty basic but I'm pretty much a newbie who grew up in an extremely conservative/religious household.

Thanks!
