The Edge: How different generations flirt

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The ultimate pick-up line can vary depending on the person. But how are your flirting skills? Researchers asked Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials and Zoomers how to flirt. Their answers were surprising to some.

For Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, they would possibly have had to call a love interest’s home or meet at dances. Millennials typically started their romantic meetings in bars and frat parties, before pivoting to apps. The study found Zoomers used the DM slide for a large portion of their lives, and are now craving in-person dating experiences.
