There are five flirting styles: physical, playful, polite, sincere, and traditional. Physical flirts use body language; playful flirts think it’s a game; polite flirts are cautious; sincere flirts look for authentic connection; and traditional flirts rely on conventional gender roles. See where you fall on this flirting personality scale.
This test is for anyone who wishes to gauge their flirting style. It is designed for adults and is not intended to be diagnostic.
A therapist or counselor can help guide you to improve your romancing approach. Seek a mental healthcare professional in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory.
