If you have not flirted in years

How to start again when the last conversation was a long time ago.

You do not have to arrive with a polished habit. A lot of people on Only Flirts have not done this for years, or have never done it on a phone. A short profile and one honest message are enough to start. You do not need a new wardrobe, a stack of photos, or a line you have rehearsed.

Say where you are and that you are starting slowly. "I am in Cardiff, it has been a long time, and I would like an easy conversation" is a complete opening. Writing a profile is the rest of the page. One recent photo of your face is plenty. Photos that get a reply is what to leave out.

Keep the first meeting optional. A flirt can live in the messages for a while. If you do want to meet, how long before you meet is the unhurried version, and meeting safely is the public place. You do not owe a stranger a faster pace because you think you have lost time.

Only Flirts is free to join and free to message. We will never ask you for a fee to get you started again. Anyone who offers to coach you, boost you, or unlock replies for money is not part of the site.
