The sincere flirt knows when they are flirting and does it with intention, Whether enjoying someone initiating or being the pursuer, engagement is done with a specific outcome in mind, to advance things. Authentic, lasting connections are desired, and the Sincere type will genuinely attempt to get to know you. 

How to spot them: 

-They are curious. A Sincere flirt will ask pointed questions based on what they are learning about you rather than engage in banter or engaging in “generic” small talk. 

-A Sincere flirt will bring up small details about past conversations and may surprise you with how much they remember about you.

-They prefer a ”traditional” way of initiating a first date. Once it is clear that chemistry exists they will act upon it, either by suggesting a first date or making it obvious they are interested in it. 

Super powers:

-Fewer missed opportunities than other types. Because the Sincere flirt feels activated by the potential of a relationship they are motivated to act upon them. 

-Comfortable making their intentions known, whether it be in a conversation on a dating app or out in the wild. 

Possible drawbacks: 

-Difficulty initiating a first date or next step in a “common” setting designed to meet people such as a bar or club. 

-Having a tendency to become attached to an outcome in the early days or meeting or dating someone. 

Where this type might shine: 

-Speed dating events. 

-Professional networking events. 

-Certain dating apps. 

Tips from a dating coach: 

-Feeling nervous asking for that phone number or suggesting a first date in that crowded room? Find a way to obtain/exchange information and then follow up via text or social media after. 

-Be careful to ask about the intentions of others to make sure you are on the same page. 

-Learn to go into the initial first dates without writing a story about the outcome. The fewer expectations you have the less likely you are to be let down.
