You don't.
What do you consider flirting? 11 is a bit young to have a boy friend.

[ScottGem]

Enjoy your childhood for a couple more years. At 11 you are too young to be engaging in boy/girl relationships.

If you have had plenty of boyfriends before, then why are you asking about how to flirt?

Do your parent's approve of you 'flirting'? What is your definition of flirting?

Honestly, as a parent, I do not think that an 11 should be 'flirting' (or 'dating'.) I think you should be learning how to be yourself around people and how to make friends. Learn how to communicate with others before you start trying to 'date'.

[ScottGem]

Sigh! Yet another brat who has no respect for herself or her betters.

[bailey5663]

They have asked me out because they liked me. But now the table is turned and I want to flirt with someone

[bailey5663]

I just want to know thatnks for all of your concerns but I just want to know. :)

[Homegirl 50]

Well I am not about to tell an 11 year old how to flirt with a 13 year old.
You say these other boys asked you out, what does that mean in 11 year old lingo and how do your parents feel about you going "out" with boys?

[Cat1864]

Bailey, please answer this question: What do you think 'flirting' is?

[ScottGem]

In addition to Cat's question, what do your parents think about boys "asking you out". Have they given you permission to date?

[bailey5663]

Yes they have given me permission

[NeedKarma]

yes they have given me permission

Interesting parenting choice. I have a 10 year old girl and I can't imagine her wishing to openly engage in "flirting" in a year's time. No problem having friends who are boys, what more would you want?

[bailey5663]

Well my definition to flirting right now is just getting him to like me or getting him to know I like him

[Wondergirl]

Show him you like him by smiling at him, asking him questions, or engaging him in conversation.

Flirting is too often phony and doesn't prove anything. Be honest and real.

Then what you need isn't flirting. What you need is learning to be yourself and how to communicate. That means listening along with talking. Being able to be yourself and talk to people will get you a lot better response than 'flirting' will.

At 13 years of age, he may not want to 'flirt' with an 11 year old or he may already have a girlfriend which would make him off-limits for anything but friendship.

[bailey5663]

I know he is single and his parents agree with him dating but I don't want to make a fool of myself while asking him to be my boyfriend please help!

Bailey's other thread about flirting: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/teens/...-a-549815.html

The advice is still the same: Be yourself and learn to communicate. At 11 years old, you should be learning how to communicate and be friends instead of 'dating' and 'flirting' with a 13 year old.
