How do you normally act when you are flirted with?

Post Reply New Topic

I get really really nervous but I try to hide it and have been very confident lately

It's been a long time since anyone's flirted with me; I'm not the elephant man's twin brother or anything, I just rarely encounter those types of situations anymore.

If the flirting was very obvious, I'd usually turn red and/or freeze up and try to avoid the conversation. If it was more subdued and I actually recognized it, I'd usually try to act like I was oblivious.

i avoid the conversation and if tehy keep going they get what i call the "liquid nitrogen cold shoulder" both in real life and online

the point is i dont need a man whos got his mind on sex to have a life. im happy with just myself and my interests.

I usually totally miss it. I should have a warning label pasted to my forehead. "Warning: flirting does not compute; just write it down, wrap it around a brick and bonk me with it."

Friday night: Flirted with by a girl who I found interesting. Flirted back (I even used a line! ...she seemed flattered, asked for my number, then gave me hers).

Tonight: Flirted with by a girl who I thought was stupid. Walked away after finding a good break in the conversation.

It hasn't happened to me that much (that I know of), but when it has, I didn't realize it until after the fact. (And even then, I'm only guessing.) Why do guys flirt by teasing? I hate that, and my reaction pretty much reflects that. Usually they get the message and leave me alone, but once a guy took my annoyed but trying to remain civil response as an invitation to keep harrassing me, on an ongoing basis. The more I tried to deflect his attentions the worse it got. He even tried touching my hair, and had a hard time comprehending why I didn't enjoy this ("but all the other girls do"). Ugh. And I'm the one who's supposed to be socially tone-deaf.

A Spotter? THAT'S IT! That's a perfect idea, I'll just ask one of my friends to pull me aside and give me a heads up.

My friends already tell me when stuff like that happens, but they always do it after the fact.

It defenately counts as flirting.
All the girls that have grabbed my ass i later found out were crazy about me.
Personnally i don't see the big deal either.
I don't go around grabbing girls asses because i wouldn't be sure if it's wanted.
But i sure as heck never mind one grabbing mine.
It's not assault unless shes like old/ugly or something like that.
And even than id never make a big deal out of it.
Just unwanted attention.

When a girl tries to flirt with me, my inner aspie tends to take control and I start acting really awkward.

i pitch a tent in my pants when im flirted with

I am so stealing that description! (Though I'll change out "bonk" with "smack" as "bonk" can have an entirely different meaning in this context...)
