Writing flirting as an Aromantic Person

[Anonymous]

Im currently working on a novel and I have planned to have my main characters (Damien and Ludwig) have some type of romantic arc together, but im not exactly equipped for writing actual flirty characters. I have the situations, but writing like actual...flirting? Is an issue. Thanks!

I would say go people watching, or maybe ask one of those ai things.

If you have an allo friend, then they might be able to help you with romance scenes as well. (Yay for co-authors!)

I would say to do research. Learn what and what not counts as flirtatious dialogue, while also keeping in mind that some places may give you outdated or cheesy dialogue, or may be biased in what counts as flirting - so try to look into different places about it. You could also ask allo people/friends about what counts as flirting!

Maybe talk about flirty scenes in books with an allo friend. I find it helpful to read through them with a friend to try and figure out what seems forced or not. 

Good luck!
