what kind of girls does it work on?

probably the really confident ones that are secure with their looks

As long as you don't go too far, and aren't too much of an asshole it can be good.

It works on all girls that are 5'8", dark hair, dark eyes and wear sweat pants to class.

they make those?

as long as the girl has a sense of humor and you're not poking fun at soemthing sensitive, i think it definitely keeps her interested. making her laugh = points for you. so long as you don't cross the line of being creepy and/or obnoxious.

I don't think it work on girls after 7th grade. Maybe try throwing little pebbles or snapping her bra.

There is a difference between poking fun and being an asshole. You have to distinguish the two.

 

[LookingGlass]

Poke her and find out. You know the kind of poke I am talking about now.

 

[her209]

Yes... it shows you are paying attention.

Ask her if she can suck start a leafblower.

*sigh*

No. Maybe in elementary school punching her in the arm was considered flirting. But not past that. That's what you are doing if you poke fun of somebody you don't really know - you're hurting them.

Poking fun of somebody needs some intimacy and trust. Once you are past that then you can poke fun.

 

[thehstrybean]

It depends...it's worked for me, but just be aware of the line...

 

[FoBoT]

poking?
could you be more specific?

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Did you just say holla back guys?

 

[SpecialEd]

girls like guys to be interesting, not boring. Poking a little fun keeps things on edge.

However, do it too much and you're a jerk.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

It depends on you. If you feel confident around the person, you probably wouldn't even be asking this question. I've told 'em to shut up when they teased me and they just laughed it off, but I was confident it wouldn't hurt their feelings (they know how I am). I've said far milder things when I didn't feel as confident and they were taken seriously. Keep that in mind. Gain your confidence before the teasing and you will be much better off. Take it from someone who's learned this (thankfully not in too much of a hard way). There's a point where you know it won't do anything to them (you don't have to guess). If you never reach that point my best advice is to stay away from the relationship. Generally you reach this when they start teasing you.

If you are too mild, it actually may come across as being jerkish (especially if you say it without confidence and in a twangy voice). Just say something with a serious face then smile. Just don't turn into a weirdo all of a sudden ("OMG I'm so sorry!!"). That's far worse than a slightly-over-the-top-joke for a relationship. Redeem it by doing something nice, not by being a wuss.

Don't overestimate your progress. I've had it where I've teased them and they loved it/smiled, then a few weeks later did the same thing and they took it seriously with a blank face. It probably had something to do with their mood, but after I did something nice (that helped regain trust a lot) they instantly responded much better to me and that's when they really started messing with me. Whatever works I guess. Maybe they thought it was cute I led them on this mystery.

 

[BeauJangles]

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

 

[LanceM]

You have to earn the right to poke fun at somebody. And by the time that comes, you will know whether or not it's a good idea.

 

[Special K]

Tell her to put out her hand, you want to try something...



Link for people who have no clue wtf I'm talking about

 

[newParadigm]

IDK, maybe iwth some chicks, like others have said, and it also depends on if you are natually creepy.

 

[thomsbrain]

it does for girls with personality disorders. whatever floats your boat.

 

[NFS4]

Works pretty well. You just have to know how far to go.
