Serious relationship advice please?

[Flowers]

Ok so i am 25 and never dated or had a boyfriend. I realized that i have many questions regarding dating. My friends never give me good advice they always tell me just be yourself etc. I never understood the idea of flirting without being too forward. I think i have a tendency to be too clingy/obvious towards a guy i like and that scares them away. For instance this guy friend in college had been talking about family guy season 6 dvd that he really wanted, so that day i went to the store and bought it ( 50 bucks). he said he could not accept it. Anyways i know guys like the chase but i don't think i know how to flirt...can you give me some examples and also some examples of being too forward?

It seems to me that you are trying too hard.
You sound like generous person, but you should not be generous randomly and with people you barely know, no matter how much you like them and actually, you really shouldn't be that generous with people you like, if you don't know them well.

Huh, being yourself is an excellent advice, because that way you will get right attention - attention of the people who like you the way you are. However, seems that it isn't the right answer for you, as it doesn't bring you what you want.

So, being that you are aware what puts people off, you should put that at least on hold, if you don't want to change.

I know it sounds hard, but you should try not to show all of your emotions.
If you like someone, you should first get your friends to introduce you. I know you can introduce yourself, but, remember, you are putting yourself on hold. So, only mild actions are allowed.
Smile, laugh moderate at his jokes, talk, be interested in what he has to say, but not too interested.
Forget something about him. I know you probably wont really forget, but at least pretend that you do.
Don't give your number first, don't ask for number immediately, don't add him to FB, follow him on Twitter, or whatever you might want to, give it time. If he asks for number, gives his number, or adds you at some social network, respond, again mildly and definitely not immediately. Give him at least half of day before you "notice" he added you. If he texts you take 10-30 minutes to reply to first text. Do not explain what took you so long.
Make him feel you like him, but also make him understand that you have your life out of him.
So, if on Friday evening he asks you out for that night, you should tell him that you already made arrangements, even if you didn't, rather than to change your plans. However, try to arrange something for next day or the day after, but don't push too hard.

All this is while the chase lasts. After the chase is done, well... than you are on your own, because than you have to keep him, being who you are. Do not be who you aren't, because that will make you unhappy and your relationship unhealthy.

But, don't forget that being too clingy will make everyone go away.
