Disaster... I've flirted with that a few times.

Flirting with women in person, haven't tried it.

Attempting to interpret correctly and/or engage in flirting online, I have dabbled in. Here's where I am with that currently:

Discerning whether an interaction is flirtatious or simply playful banter continues to be a challenge for me.

It does feel good and validating to think a woman is showing that she's attracted to me, or interested in me beyond exchanging playful banter.

The few times that I had flirtatious intent in an online interaction, it was in the hopes of communicating attraction to, and interest in, getting to know the woman more personally.

Nice question. Not sure how my flirting goes over, because by the time I think I sent a good flirt, they or the site deactivate their profile. lol

How do you handle rejection ?
......I crawl in a hole and have a competition between sulk and pout!

Can you tell the difference between flirting and friendly banter ?
......Flirting for me is serious, friendly banter is kidding around.

What have you learnt about flirting online ?
......Not to do it since it more often than not ends in disaster, at least for me.

How do you rate your flirting abilities ?
......A+

Me 23 can say if a men is not on point with his pickup skills he needs to train it. talking to girls in an attracting way. example: sorry Are you German? Nice i just saw you over here and thought wow such a pretty girl. Im Paul. and then i See what she dose. when she turns to me. smiles. laughts. compliments back. thats great and if she dont care or has someone allready thats also great. she is happy and I can talk to the pretty girl 10m away. and over time doing this a men loses the fear of not beeing good enough. or needing validation. what a men by the way absolutely unattractive for females makes. insted of the females choosing the least worst men for them. is it way more helpfull for relationship when the men has the quality expection and choose the the best girls he wants to spend time. this is also good for the girl he chooses. in a way. such a selfmade men and he chooses me on his side. I must be something special and need to work on myself to be the one special for him in the future. and its also good for the girls he quickly rejects. because when every men rejects drama girls they will have to think about why no men wants to spend time with them. :) remember I'm 23
