How to Flirt With a Sensitive Girl

You may consider yourself the master of flirting, but most of your experience is likely to be with girls who are outgoing or jovial. As flirting is such a playful act, flirting with woman who is more on the sensitive side is inherently challenging. Banter can quickly turn sour. Here are a few tips for flirting with a sensitive girl.

Identifying the sensitive girl

Plenty of sensitive girls are also shy and vice versa, but the two categories do not always overlap. Shyness can be overcome during the course of a conversation or two, but a sensitive temperament is more or less permanent. You are most likely to come across sensitive women in your day to day life. It is easy to tell if a colleague or classmate is overly sensitive if you see her frequently. You are unlikely to come across sensitive girls at a club for instance. This is for two reasons; firstly, the overlap between sensitivity and shyness, and secondly, because you may not be able to tell in that type of environment.

She won?t be a one-night stand

Generally, women who are very much in touch with their feelings will be inclined towards having meaningful relationships. If all you are after is a quick fling, you are better off pursuing someone more carefree. You should only pursue a sensitive girl if you see the potential for an actual relationship. Her being so sensitive may raise some red flags, but there are also benefits to being with someone who experiences feelings intensely.

Be genuine

Women who are in touch with their feelings are quite often intuitive when it comes to judging others. A sensitive girl will know if you are putting on an act when trying to flirt with her. Behaviors like smiling and nodding, which usually help a conversation progress, should be avoided as she will notice. Try to strip back the showmanship you may usually rely on when flirting. Eye contact is always crucial, but even more so in this case. This is especially important to convey your intention once you escalate to light touching.

Build rapport without teasing

Light-hearted teasing is probably the first flirting technique in your repertoire, but you need to find another approach with a sensitive girl. Teasing her will come across to her as mean. Not only may this be upsetting to her, but she will also take it as a sign that you do not like her. Instead of teasing, try to develop some in-jokes that are not at her expense.

Engage at her level

If she is a serious sort of person, it will not do you any favors to engage with her on a shallow level. Flirting is usually quite superficial, but with a sensitive sort of person, a good technique is to alternate between banter and serious conversation, all within the same interaction. This way she will be aware that you are interested in her, while also knowing that you can have thoughtful conversations together.
