8bit, gang -- this article is HUMOR, or if you were in Canada: HUMOUR. That's all. It is not not a guide to flirting.

Sorry OftenBen, I was wrong. It is more humor than satire. But there are elements of satire too. It is satirizing serious "how to flirt" articles. Like this one. I do kind of like what the linked article says here:

Flirt to give, not to get. "Outcome thinking" (focusing on what you can get from a woman) sabotages your results.

All conversations where someone wants something from the other person inevitably become uncomfortable. So give her the gift of a laugh, and you're pretty much guaranteed some attention.
