I love flirting with people (irl). I think I'm naturally quite charming, and tend to fall into flirty banter with everyone (where appropriate). BUT the second I've figured someone I find hot might be vibing with me I turn into an awkward mess. Recently Ive become more comfortable holding eye contact, physical proximity, but once they've said something that's made me blush I can't look them in the eye, I blank and just can't think of something to say.
I've fallen into a period where I have many crushes, and I know some of them are vibing with me. There's lots of tension (which I like) but no action. I want to feel confident to make the first move. Please, any advice on anything that would help me build confidence in this area.
Bonus question: How would you phrase to someone you're flirting with that you're only looking for short term/casual fun.
