The Kind Of Flirting He Loves, According To His Zodiac Sign

For some people, flirting comes as naturally to them as breathing. They flirt with everyone and everything, and can't seem to stop the flow of flirting. For others, no matter how they try, when they flirt it just makes everything feel awkward and uncomfortable.

They flirt with everyone and everything, and can't seem to stop the flow of flirting. For others, no matter how they try, when they flirt it just makes everything feel awkward and uncomfortable.

There are many reasons why people flirt: to increase their self-esteem, to get someone into bed, to strengthen feelings of intimacy in their relationship, to feel what it might be like to be in a relationship, and to get things from other people. 

Think of how many times a waiter or waitress was flirty with you to get a bigger tip. There are times when we use flirting as a way to get out of a ticket or to get an upgrade at a hotel.

Interestingly, insecure people are often better at flirting than confident people, as confident people don't always feel the need for approval from others or to be liked.

Flirting can be a game for some people, such as if a guy in a club flirts with a woman he knows he doesn't have a chance with, so he just keeps lobbying pick-up line after pick-up line in hopes that she'll know how ridiculous he's being and laugh.

There are times when we're too out of it to flirt and we try anyway, which is usually when we drunk-dial (so not a good idea). 

Flirting can become so ingrained in someone's personality that they don't even notice and just move through their day flirting with everyone.

When it comes to astrology, each zodiac sign has its own flirting style and has their own preference for the kind of flirting they really respond to.

Some signs may get intrigued and flattered by a more traditional and charming type of flirting, while others may find it false and respond more to the exact opposite kind of flirting, which is more in-your-face and blunt.

Here's the kind of flirting he loves, according to his zodiac sign.

But the type of flirting they respond to best is more of a challenging type. If you're flirting with an Aries, play hard-to-get and make it seem as if they have to jump through hoops just to spend time with you.

However, they respond best to the kind of flirting that involves a lot of touching.

If you're flirting with a Taurus and he makes a joke, be sure to lightly touch his arm or find opportunities to accidently brush up against him.
