whats a reflexive verb?

A general rule of thumb would be "something you do to yourself."
Por ejemplo, casarse = to punish yourself. Uh, I mean, to get married.
A reflexive verb is any verb whose meaning is altered by a reflexive pronoun. A very good example is the verb, "duchar," which means, "to shower." In Spanish, one doesn't say, "I took a shower." That is an English idiom. In Spanish, one would say what translates to, "I shower myself," or "me ducho." I hope this helps some.
In a nutshell they are verbs which which are directed at the subject instead of the object. They have a -se suffix.

It's a verb that reflects back upon itself.
