Flirting

Please don't be a homewrecker.

The only person that can be a homewrecker is the one in the family doing wrong.

On a similar note, I really don't know how to flirt. Maybe I should start a new topic in a different forum?

back on topic, I can't help you with the original question because I'm terrible at working out when a girl's flirting with me. and that in itself is a rare luxury

99% of the time, no clue if someone is flirting with me
99.9% no clue someone thinks I am flirting with them, when I am not meaning to appear that way either

Yes!! They are perfect - plain simple, really easy to understand generally - I adore emoticons because, I can say if I am mad or happy, clearly to a person as well.. some can't tell... but I can't tell what they mean either.



But, what if a persons smile changes, just because they have gotten more comfy around you? I go from my forced smile, to a more relaxed real smile sometimes if I know a person a bit better..

I am bad for sexual innuendo, or right out and out saying, but big smiles.. no and winky looks? No idea if I do that..
I have been told I am a flirt - forever
so I just admit to being a flirt - not really sure 100% either way..

1. I look almost everyone up and down, if I don't I am staring at one place on them..
2. First winky now blinking.. both of these seems really odd to me..

3. I touch some people I am comfortable with - like I will place a hand on someone and say "hey, I am going to leave", or "want a drink?", or "want to go for a pint?" So, can you explain what kind of touching you mean..



Yes, just say it ffs..

I understand the mouth one.. I think.. and that is one reason I really try looking all over a person, up and down..

Looking at a persons mouth, they think you either want to kiss them, or they have food on their teeth.
I have had too many people try to kiss me, because they thought I wanted them to, because I was watching their mouth..

My wife says women flirt with me all the time and I've never noticed it. She says that I also come off as flirtatious, but she knows that's never my intention so it's okay. I'm 29 and still completely clueless about this aspect of socialization. Though I do know that the aforementioned "blinky" is actually called "batting one's eyelashes." and women supposedly do this to flirt with someone. I'm not sure the origin of this expression. Is it because one's eyelashes look as if they're flapping like a bat's wings when blinking fastly, or did the phrase arise from the myth (possibly true in former times) that mascara is made from bat feces?

I can pick up on flirting very well, and DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL!

If I had my own girlfriend, then I wouldn't have had feelings for a married woman. I am clearly the victim in this and I have to flirt. Its a normal thing to do.

Victim? That's laughable. This is no different than saying the rapist is the victim because she 'wore a sexy skirt'.

You choose who you have feelings for. Clearly, you chose to have feelings for this woman. Victim my ass.

You don't choose to have feelings for someone, I don't think. You just choose to act on them or not.

That's debatable, but the point remains. Craig is not a victim in this situation.

I wish I didn't have feelings for her, nothing would ever happen anyway. I have wasted many weeks having these feelings, and I deserve some peace of mind.

i only get flirting when its so obvious, like right now someone in my neighbourhood is fliriting with me and hopefully im not flirting back because i cant politically afford that move, it will destroy the reputation i have given myself, once in the store someone was flirting with me and my mom was all that person was just hitting on you and apparently i was in a rush to find my favorite deviled egg salad that this pirticular chain carried. hopefully i wasnt rude but when im bussy i dont have time to flirt with anything, exept what im looking for

I have only once noticed someone flirting with me. I was in McDonalds, standing in line when I looked over at a table and a girl was staring at me while slowly sucking on her milkshake straw and somehow smiling without spilling, there was some unusual blinking involved aswell.

Of course, that just weirded me out, with the staring and the milkshake (it was banana, I hate banana milkshakes) but I did know what she was doing, 10 minutes after I had finished eating. Damn it, she was cute too...

I think a few times it's possible someone may have been flirting with me, but the disinterest and anxiety regarding a relationship with someone all of a sudden without me giving time to thinking if I want to accept it or not, motivated me to be oblivious.
