Tessa ReneeDear men, some of you are still out here flirting like you’re on AIM chatrooms in 2010 and it shows. The recycled pickup lines, the “u up?” texts, the endless “wyd” messages, It’s not charming, it’s not mysterious, and it’s definitely not working. We’ve upgraded phones, apps, and entire social platforms since then why hasn’t your flirting game evolved too?
Let’s get one thing straight: flirting is supposed to be fun. It’s supposed to be witty, intentional, and a little unpredictable. But too many of you lean on tired one-liners or lazy attempts that feel like you Googled “best text to send a girl” and copy-pasted the first result. Women can tell when you’re phoning it in. And nothing kills attraction faster than realizing you’ve said the same line to ten other people this week.
So what does “stepping it up” look like? It looks like effort. Commenting on something unique she said instead of her looks. Using humor that actually fits the moment instead of cringe jokes that sound rehearsed. Asking thoughtful questions that make her feel seen, not generic prompts that make her feel like just another number in your phone. Flirting in 2025 should feel like banter, like connection, like electricity, not like you’re stuck in a decade-old loop.
Here’s the secret: the best flirting doesn’t come from scripts. It comes from paying attention. A well-timed compliment. A playful observation. A confident tease. Those land because they’re tailored, not templated. Upgrade your game, or get left in the archives with your old MySpace page.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
If your flirting sounds like a rerun, don’t be shocked when she changes the channel.
