14 Tragic Ways Some Lebanese Men Flirt

There is nothing sadder than a Lebanese man trying (and failing) to flirt, mostly because it sometimes involves outdated pickup lines and a lot of try-hard-ing. So if you’re a man, you can probably use this as a guide of what NOT to do when flirting. 1. He adds you to his close friends list seconds after you follow each other What happened to “hello”? “How are you”? “My name is…”? Deghre hek tajjaytna close friends list? 2. And he uploads any of the following content: shirtless pics, “just woke up” selfies, or even post-workout meals 3. He starts the conversation with “ba3rfik bas mesh 3am ba3ref men wen” All this does is give off stalker vibes. Please refrain from saying that. Also refrain from talking at all. 4. He asks about your type barely 10 minutes into the conversation Lesh mesta3jel? Fi wehde tene on standby that you think might vaguely describe you as her ideal type? 5. He likes all of your Instagram pictures at once And reacts to your stories to remind you of his existence. Please ma tense t3abree, 3am yenhar. 6. He makes sure you are NOTHING like his crazy ex Ka2anno he goes through a checklist of things during the conversation? And he says things like “hek badde yeke”…sorry? 7. He thoroughly enjoys telling you how different you are from others “3anjad wala marra hkeet hada heik haha” “Mannik metel hal banet” 8. He corrects things you posted to your stories to show off his few functioning brain cells “Haha shi marra lezem eshra7lik 3an NFTs anw shu 3amle?“ 9. He sends you a long ass opening line “Badde es2alik shi w please koone sareeha w eza baddik ma tredde bas badde 2a3ref ra2yik sorry eza za3ajtik” 10. He asks for your WhatsApp or Snapchat (and yes, it matters which one) The answer should be no to both. 11. He takes note of a place you’ve posted a pic in and asks you to send him recommendations “Yi helo hayda l bar? Wen fi mahal tene helo kamen b Beirut?“ Jail maybe? 12. He sends you an out of context emoji The tactic is to get you to ask shu fi. Then he’ll be like “mashi, keefik?” because ha tmoote la ta3rfe lesh ba3at hal emoji w shu ye3ne. 13. He asks you if you’ve ever considered a modeling career I’ll pass, thanks. 14. He shows off his connections by pointing out how many mutuals you have “Yi bta3rfe Rami? Ele ref2a ma3o men ana w zgheer. W Joelle kamen? Walla lezem shi marra nedhar kelna sawa“ Maybe just…come up to us…and say hi? 1
