The more serious it gets, the worse I get. Blabbering in at least two different languages, falling over flower pots and advertising boards and other hillarious things what

Grin, I can almost see that happen. But you know, that can be very adorable, Larsi. flowerforyou


Adorable? Wow :smile:

For me, it is more like embarrassing. And sometimes a wee bit scary, I tend to be scared when a young lady approaches me in a more physical way. Even more harmless stuff like a kiss tears

Good point Crystal... makes me wonder about that too. Traditionally it was the man who initiated interest in the woman by giving her attention... flirting is another form of wooing. Wooing or trying to win over the woman of your affection is considered a masculine act, at least I think so.

Although when women dropped their handkerchiefs in order to get the man to initiate, wouldn't that be considered flirting?

Yes, woman almost always initiates by whatever kind of version of dropping a handkerchief.
Whether that is flirting? Not sure either, hihi.

I flirt a lot and I love it! It comes pretty naturally for me that my dates would think that I'm flirting even I'm not.i think you should flirt only if you're comfortable doing it. I've had a few incidents where flirting took things a bit too far and I felt guilty afterwards but luckily i dont let my defences down.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I dont think flirting brings out your masculine energy, I think its actually more feminine to flirt. But my recommendation, do what you feel comfortable doing. Good luck!

Another lucky girl!
Yes, it can easily be misinterpreted the wrong way. Now you mention that, I've had that happen quite regularly whenever I flirted. I think that's the reason I stopped myself from doing it. I once got in a really sticky situation because of it, and I mean sticky where the guy drove to a desolate parking lot. It ended well cos I managed to keep my cool even though I was scared out of my mind. But I don't think I ever came that close to sexual assault in the worst way for a woman. Ended up there after some flirting...
Hmmm... good insight. I seriously always think/feel that if I flirt it'll go wrong.
Thank you for indirectly giving me that insight!

I can't remember the last time I flirted with a woman. I would feel nervous at first and if the lady was open to it I guess we would both enjoy it more and who knows what may happen after that.. can I smell wedding cake???

I never knew how. I wouldn't know if someone was flirting with me, that's how bad I am at it. Oh well, I've survived this long, guess I won't loose any sleep over it.

How good are you at flirting?
Now there are as I see it different levels of flirting, for instance
- flirting when you haven't a love interest in the person
- flirting when you do have a love interest in the person
- "forced" flirting, like on a dating site, wanting to come across as fun/interesting
- flirting that goes too far (sexual intent)

Personally I find flirting difficult, unless it happens by itself. Now if you want to date it usually doesn't (yet).
Now I realize that it isn't interesting to talk about boring chit like "Oh, I put the bin out today and work was horrible." Nobody cares about that.
I've got plenty of interesting things to talk about, but with a new person I find it difficult.

I can be very lighthearted & playful, flirty, but usually once I've gotten to know someone at least a little bit, so there's a level of comfort.

How is this for you? Does it come easy for you? Don't you do it at all, and if so, how does that pan out with dating? And so on...


Hmmm..

It looks to me from this, that you don't differentiate between "flirting" and "chatting."

I do. I don't think of "flirting" as anything other than showing interest in another person for more than just passing the time.

Since I work with strangers all day for my (rudimentary) living, I've become very good at amiable chatting, and can usually carry on some sort of conversation about almost anything, without much difficulty.

But for all my life, I've been entirely unable to recognize when someone is actively flirting with me, and showing interest. Possibly because most people DO "chat" in meaningless ways when they are flirting, and so there's no easy way to tell the difference.

I'm also terribly shy, when it comes to any serious attempts to pursue interest in someone, despite the ability to "chat" easily. Possibly because of all the times when I thought I identified "flirting," only to be very embarrassed when I learn that no, it was just aimless chat after all.

I'm only good at conversation when I force myself NOT to gain any serious interest in someone.

Though, since it has been a VERY long time since I seriously tried, as some others have said as well, who knows.

Well I have enough self confidence to say I'm pretty damn good at it.
But (and this may be a big factor) before I started what became my 30 year career I was a serious hard core door to door salesman. By hardcore I mean 1099 no leads, company car, expense acct, etc. And no income without results.
I can talk to anyone and I mean the most crabby, mean, pissed off "why did you knock on my door" old Nebraska farmer and in a few minutes 9.5 times out of 10 at the very least have a pleasant vibe going with them.
Switch that over to flirting and it kind of takes the stress out. I've said for years that I'm a student of human behavior. When I was selling I had to learn to read people quickly to decide what type of approach would work best or be poor. tears
I guess my point for me anyway flirting is just like selling only instead of a product you're selling yourself.
Now that I've said this I have to say I suppose I've been doing this for over 40 years and it just comes natural. huh
Don't think that I mean any sort of lying or dishonesty; when I was selling we sold an excellent 100% high quality made in the USA product and it was the best of it's kind. We considered anyone that resorted to being dishonest as weak and lame.
Just take a chance and do it, what's the worst that can happen?

I get talking comes easy if you've done that for years!
The worst that can happen... I think that depends on why your flirting, your self-esteem, and what your intention was.
In a way, if it doesn't work out, it could be like telling a joke you love and the other person not laughing but just raising their eyebrows. Then you feel awkward.
Maybe it's something that should be done more so the result becomes less important.
