Who says flirting is only for new couples? 😏
In long-term relationships, playfulness is often the first thing to fade—but it’s also one of the easiest ways to keep your bond fresh and exciting.
Here are 7 flirty moves to bring the spark back (or keep it glowing) without feeling forced or awkward.
1. Use the “Accidental” Touch 👀
Lightly brush their arm. Bump their hip in the kitchen. Rest your hand on their thigh during a movie. Keep it casual, not needy.
Why it works: Physical teasing wakes up the body and signals “I still want you.”
2. Compliment With a Twist 💬
Instead of a generic “You look good,” try: “You in that T-shirt? Unfair.” or “I forgot how hot your laugh is.”
Tip: Specific + cheeky = unforgettable.
3. Send Flirty Texts—When They Don’t Expect It 📱
Send a midday message that’s suggestive, silly, or just reminds them of a shared memory (“Remember that elevator moment in Paris? 🔥”).
Bonus: Emojis are your friend here. 😉🔥🍑
4. Tease Them Gently 😈
Poke fun in a way that makes them laugh, not cringe. “Oh, so you’re suddenly a plant dad now?” or “That’s your ‘concentration face’?”
Why it works: Inside jokes = inside access.
5. Create a Secret Signal Only You Two Know 🤫
A wink, a hand squeeze, a certain phrase that means “let’s go make out.”
Why it works: Secret codes feel sexy and exclusive—even years in.
6. Role Play Everyday Moments 🎭
Pretend to be strangers meeting at a bar. Or act like you’re “just roommates” and start flirting like it’s day one.
Why it works: Reframing the ordinary makes the familiar feel fresh again.
7. Be Unexpected 🪄
Pick them up from work in something they like. Whisper something bold in public. Dance in the living room at midnight.
Why it works: Surprise = adrenaline = attraction. Keep them guessing (in the best way).
Final Thought:
Flirting isn’t just about getting your partner’s attention—it’s about reminding them they still have yours.
So go ahead. Wink. Tease. Text something spicy. Long-term love doesn’t mean the end of the game—it just means you both know how to play better. 🎯
