how to flirt as a guy

Don't think too hard about it.
It's supposed to feel natural. Most of the time, flirting is just giving compliments, suggestions for things to do, or comments that get the other person thinking about certain things. e.g., sex.
Figuring out what works takes experience, tact, and knowledge of the person you're working with. Flirt sparingly with people you don't know very well so you don't come off as creepy.

There's no exact way to flirt. It depends on the setting, timespan, and people involved. If it communicates interest, it's flirting. Smiling at someone could be flirting. Staring could be flirting if it's not creepy.
Always look for feedback. If you get no reaction, try something else or move on.

Light teasing and the occasional compliment are pretty much the only flirting I do. If I want to date someone I'll be upfront about it and ask them on a date.

Don't do the fucking shoulder touch/arm brush bullshit, especially if you're doing it with everyone. It creeps out not only the women you do it to, but also the people watching and it's transparent as fuck. People should be able to go about their day without being clawed at by random men.

Just joke, keep your body language open, and look sexy

swallow your pride and just do it

I tease or poke fun.

First thing that happened when I dropped my autism is my fear of what people will think. Girls will usually like it because it's being playful while also showing confidence.

If you can make her laugh, you're golden.

Physical contact is great but only if it's already going well. If I got her laughing and we're talking, I'll point at something or ask for something and touch her by the shoulder. Physical contact is a HUGE indicator that a girl/guy likes you and it's useful when used right.

Just don't be a creeper like that guy said though. Constantly touching her arm or whatever when you barely talk in hopes that she gets the hint that you like her.

Get talking, get her laughing, make the conversation feel natural and comfortable.

Every guy who flirts is going to appear autistic.

Just hope you have charming autism.

From trial and error, my order of operations is:

>Open with something funny, get a laugh right off the bat to break the ice and disarm that initial "a stranger is talking to me" unease

>Build rapport by getting to know her, showing interest in her life, sharing things about yourself, complimenting her

>Tease her. Don't neg or insult, just tease the same way friends tease each other (jabs that are way too silly to harm anybody's self esteem and actually show your approval of them and the fact that you are comfortable enough with them to treat them like a human instead of some boss at a job interview).

I find that if you find that if you don't tease, you come off as a doting suck up and a little insincere, like you're just pretending to be nice to get something from her and have no actual personality. Not more than one tease is needed, though. You don't want to look like you're doing some PUA negging bullshit.

Make your exit quickly. Get her number while she's still laughing and smiling. Don't just hang around until the conversation runs out of steam and gets awkward and neither of you know what to say next. That's the worst time to ask for the number. Strike while the iron is hot, leave her wishing you didn't have to leave so soon.

I suck at this, though. I'm always too polite and formal to do any teasing. Girls lose interest in me quickly because I'm the timid sort who's afraid to offend or make a move. Not saying you have to be that "alpha" douche PUAs talk about, but gender roles still exist and you're going to be expected to be the one to take chances and be bold. I wish they didn't, but despite my personal preferences, I have to date in the world that currently exists, not some ideal progressive world.

Do this OP. Teasing and joking is flirting 101 90% of the time it works every time.

Smile, laugh, be funny. If you really don't know her then don't be the one to introduce touch because it's creepy af.
