Our species' talent is speech, and that's what we use to flirt. That seems natural to me.
Eh I hate small talk. I'd much rather someone made me a diy gift. Doesn't haven't to be big but the time spent on it would communicate alot of affection to me ๐คท
You say that, but it would only be charming from someone you've already been flirting with. The whole point of flirting is testing the waters with some amount of deniability so that it's low-pressure on all sides. You keep toeing the line back and forth until you're both really sure you're super into each other. A DIY gift as a token of affection is a jump from the high dive, and goes a lot better when you've checked the pool is full.
If you don't continue to flirt with your partner after you're already together I feel sad for them. You should continue to flirt stranger. I would agree though, don't buy a house for someone you don't know lol. But here's a better example for you those girl. I'm talking to you off dating app. You told me her favorite animal is a flying wolf. That's kind of silly. 3D printed one. I'll bring it to our date next week. If you think I'm not getting extra brownie points for that, you're silly.
For sure for sure. Context matters. I'm currently making a patch for my girl. But, you know, I'm super sure she's into me, for a whole pile of reasons. :P
Hell yeah dude that's awesome ๐๐
Sounds like that would make it harder to meet people but easier to know when you've found a compatible match
