What does "social charisma" mean anyway?

Is it the same as social and outgoing? because this is not what charisma means.

In my particular case, I realized that I wasn't flirting at all when I liked someone.

Me personally, I read about a bunch of flirting styles, and picked some I was comfortable with.

Next time I hung out with someone I liked, I practiced some of the flirts (for me, it was "footsies") and surprisingly the guy responded (moving his foot closer to mine as well, etc).

It could be arm touches, "playful swatting," mostly anything subtle and physical. Most guys will realize that you like them and either respond or distance (depending on how they feel about you).

In my particular experience, this was my largest dating faux pas that I worked to overcome.

Your situation could be quite different, but hopefully something here is somewhat helpful. :heart:

Edit, I am not great at masking for a long time, so I can't offer much help there. I find masking exhausting :oops:

I find this to be NT social nonsense.
An aspie approach would be honest and direct,
The sort of thing 7 of 9, from the Star Trek Voyager series, would do. :wink:

Do you have Asperger or not? Can you feel what others feel or do you only see how they may feel? Do you have problems regarding realizing irony and sarcasm and other emotional stuff in verbal language? How good are you at eye contact? Are you doing it? Do you get the emotions of others towards you if doing so? What are the problems you know once it comes to deal with other people?

I, myself, don’t like it when women blatantly “flirt” with me.

I like it better when we just hang out and play footsie or something.

You and I may have different definitions of flirting.... playing footsie was my main flirt when I liked a guy :lol:

When I said "flirt" I meant any nonverbal means of displaying interest.

Footsie is very explicitly sexual.
