Flirting in Costa Rica is generally laid-back, reflecting the “pura vida” lifestyle. Ticos (Costa Ricans) appreciate sincerity and kindness. Maintain good eye contact and offer genuine smiles. Compliments should be heartfelt “Qué tuanis” is a local way to say something’s cool. Physical touch is minimal in initial interactions. Show interest in Costa Rican culture and nature. Using local slang like “mae” (dude/friend) can be endearing. Humor is appreciated, but keep it light and positive. Group settings are common for flirting. Confidence is attractive, but avoid being too aggressive. Suggesting outdoor activities or coffee dates can be great for flirting.
