Flirty ways to say happy birthday

Overview

If there is someone you like and you want to subtly tell them without the risk of being embarrassed, putting something flirty in a birthday card can be the best way to do it.  Either one of two things will happen – they’ll like you too and respond accordingly, or they don’t like you (that way) and they’ll just ignore the sentiment.  If they do bring it up, you can just say it was a joke because that’s what you’re supposed to do with birthday cards.

So what sort of thing should you actually write?

Yep, good question, this is the point of this article after all.

One approach is just to be playful and bold, the benefit of this approach is that if they don’t reciprocate your feelings, you can easily pass it off as a joke.  You could just mention that they have a very pretty bum or that you want to see their parts that they usually cover up.

Another approach that you can combine with this method is to print the message in the card; that way, if they like the message you can say that you printed it, and if not, you can just say that the card came like that, with that message already printed?

That is the perfect escape plan if it doesn’t go well 😊

If you order a card from Mr. Inappropriate, you can just type your message in the ‘message’ box for any card, and we’ll print your desired message in the card before we send it.  We could even send it to your recipient if you like, and could even hide your identity.  That way you’re extra-safe, but a bit pointless if they don’t know who the card is from.

What if you want to be more subtle?

This is easier and safer in a way, but hard to pretend that it’s a joke, mainly because it is less likely to be funny.

If this is the approach you want to take, you could always just suggest that you meet up some time, this could be taken either way so very low risk.  That is unless you ‘accidentally’ spell it ‘meat up’.  I suppose if you do that you could easily say that it’s a typo (unless you’re writing it with a pen).

So what is the best way to do it?

Well, that’s up to you.  In my experience and opinion I think you could go for a risky and direct approach.  It’s a matter of balancing the potential benefit against the potential risk.  Best case you might find your lifelong partner that you can do lots of naughty things with, and worst case is you might get a little embarrassed.

This sounds like a small risk worth taking!
