Jesus Chicken Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 This topic has me confused. People accuse me of flirting with people all the time. Some people say I'm a good flirt, and some say I'm crap. I was just wondering? WHAT THE HELL IS IT?? As far as I know flirting is basically on someone, but from what I have heard it's not just that, it's much more. Anway, I was just curious as to what people on here consider Flirting to be.

Flash Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Flirting is like hitting on someone, only more discreet, or at least that's how I see it.. You know, spending time with the person, all that... flirty stuff. I've never really flirted much. Too confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 You flirt when you like someone of the opposite sex (or the same if you're that type). I think a lot of it is subconscious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]I think it's having to do with really talking to someone of the opposite sex, a lot, like joking around with them or being really friendly to them. Sometimes you don't intend to, but you do it anyway, not that it's a bad thing...just someone else's opinion about you.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloricus Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 [spoiler][color=#00ff00]Yeah some thing like that. It's annoying when people come up and pay you out for flirting, and it's like I was doing what now...? Also do not confuse flirting and spading. (That?s the right term isn?t it, like 3 months since I last heard it so it might be the wrong one.)[/color][/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zidargh Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=darkblue]Flirting basically consists of this : - *Flirt = To person who is attractive and you likey very much (^_^;)* And seriously, you say that to them :) No just kidding. I generally find it annoying when someone flirts and makes it so damned obvious which I find a bit -_-. I always thought it would be where you react with great detail to someone you are attracted to and make several attempts to impress or make the other laugh, no matter how stupid you look. Or playing with poses around someone else or using different tones that you wouldnt do normally. Basically, trying to be over-confident, but can fail miserably -_-.[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCajones Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 In my time of the flirting age I've believed to tease girls when I'm really interested in them. I agree I try to make them laugh or impress them, but I wouldn't do it to a state of making a fool of myself as then that would probably put the girl of me lol. Plus I get embarrassed enough as it is. Also trying to make them laugh or impressing people I do with any mates, but I don't feel for them in that way! I can never be over-confident lol I'm too shy and I think girls think it's a major turn-off being God's Gift unless they are classed as a super COOL guy in this age of fashion. :mad: I like to be sweet an romantic when I'm in love - buying gifts, telling the girl how much you love her, always listen to her and compliments help. :D I've seen quite a variety of flirting which usually comes down to teasing in the long run if it's say poking a girl often, annoying them (unusual way of showing you like someone, but it happens!), and of course stealing something of whoever and running off lol. If you feel like your God's gift then maybe you will just go up to a girl and act like she's yours touching her and so on. For girls well I wouldn't know, but they usually give you signs of some sort licking lips, winking, grabbing your butt (unless your a **** and do it to annoy people), etc. When on holiday also I saw a girl constantly staring at me out of the corner of my eye who was pretty darn fit and whenever we made eye contact we would look down as I also returned the gaze of WOW! :tasty: So they are ideas of what I think flirting is, I'm sure there are loads more, but that's all I can think of right now. When you truely love someone it sure is the greatest thing, but when you get turned down, dumped, etc it can be devastating and makes you extremely sad if your somelike me who is very emotional.

Justin Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I think flirting is just a fun way to interact with someone you may or may not be attracted to. I mean, sure, flirting [i]can[/i] be a precursor to dating, but it doesn't have to be. I flirt with just about every female friend I have, but I really don't want to date any of them. :) -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Most people flirt with everyone subconciously.. Sometimes its leaning on someone, sometimes it's pointing out a similar interest and getting a high five, sometimes it's realy obvious, like saying "Oh, you!!!" or something corny like that. Watch me for a day. you'll figure out what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiya-jinro Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Well. A girl, who I say is a best friend of mine, flirted with me all the time in 8th grade. And I didn't even notice. Lol!!!! And I recently talked with her, and I start flirting with her. Oh yes, we weren't friend until 12th grade by the way. It's funny how things turn out.

Sui Generis Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hate to say it but I'm not sure. I'm just nice to people and they say I am flirting. I guess to other people flirting is any hint what so ever that means you could like someone. Such as joking with a girl....don't ask me I think its weird.... Flirting to me is...hitting on someone discreetly. On purpose. You can't really flirt un intentionally. I don't think atleast.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delian Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Some people say that i'm a flirt. I must admit sometimes I can be when it's with my friends or people I meet through my friends (If they seem nice) regardless of what gender they are. But it's all harmless fun. Generally I'm quite friendly with people and i'm almost always smiling, but sometimes guys take it the wrong way when you're being friendly and that is kinda frustrating.

Juu Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Gah. Flirting... So many people have called me a flirt in school, just because alot of my friends are guys. They think I like them, and I swear, we're just really good friends. It makes me really mad when people say you're flirting when you just talk to someone nicely that just happens to be the opposite sex... Besides ^_^ Juu: *huggles Lalaith* :love2: Lalaith: oO;[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cora Jane 2 Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 well.... flirting... hmm... that is a fun topic of discussion. well even if you are dating some one you might flirt with them... you walk up behind them... say hello, poke them in the side... letting them know you are there... lol... but flirting... i would say is trying to be discreet in letting some one know you like them, or letting them know that they are some one you would like to get to know better. it all depends on the person.

PiroMunkie Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=indigo][b]Dictionary.com says:[/b] [size=1][b]flirt[/b] (flûrt) v. [b]flirt·ed, flirt·ing, flirts[/b] [b]1.[/b] To make playfully romantic or sexual overtures. [b]2.[/b] To deal playfully, triflingly, or superficially with: [i]flirt with danger.[/i] [b]3.[/b] To move abruptly or jerkily. I would believe you are looking for somewhere along the lines of the first two definitions. More so the first, but the second can also apply. I often get called out for flirting, which, really, I am not; or not trying to at least. I guess by definition I might, but it is not too much of a big deal. Most of the time I am [i]really[/i] obvious with it and doing it for a joke. Overall, I am just generally nice to girls, and I have enough of them as friends. I have actually worked it out, and I have a 4:1 ratio of guy friends to girl friends, plus one girl. It is quite interesting... but yeah... o-O[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=blue][size=1]Well, I think flirting is a discreet way of hitting on someone, like someone else has already said - Flash, I think. Therefore, you can't really flirt unintentionally. Jesus Chicken, perhaps you're just a bit too 'friendly' with some people. lol. EDIT: Hey, lookit that.

Amorphous Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 hmm, what could I say about this topic that hasn't already been said, but watching some of the guys flirt with girls at my school is pathetic. I am a guy though so please don't call me a girl lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Flash, Bryan, Juu and Piro in this thread alone would know] With my female friends I flirt as well, but if I can tell she is getting uncomfortable with it, of course I tone it down a bit. I just try to keep everything comedic around me if I can, because someone has to do it. ^^ Flirting to me can either be a way of close friends to just be close friends, or one of the ways to try to tell someone; subtlely or no, if you like them. ^^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "flirt" with my [i]guy[/i] friends for crying out loud, lol. It is just all in fun. Even better when they do it back. Though, most of the time we shall give each other and hug and then snap out of it and look around as if we were making sure no one saw us. ^__^ This is among a whole arsenal of other antics we pull off. I am not much of a serious "flirter". It is just my way of having fun. It is what I do. It is what I have always done before flirting was even flirting. :p So yes, that is my take on it, I suppose...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [b][color=003399]I would count myself as a bit of a 'flirt' I suppose, but I'm very shy around girls, so it normally ends up with me cracking consistant jokes. I'm pretty good at making people laugh (most of the time, heh), so that's normally my form of flirting.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hmm, well, I'd have to say that flirting would be when a guy or a girl is making sexual advances toward the opposite sex (or same sex, depending on your desires). Whether this be talking to them smoothly, or just trying to act cool around them, it is usually quite obvious that they have a thing for the other person. Another word to describe this is "hitting" on them. :D I guess a few people noticed that you were showing these signs, and decided to judge you on them. Of course, sometimes people act this way normally, so you really never know unless you've seen them on a regular, average day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=red] Meh, I flirt all of the time, only sort of...subcounsiously...heh. But yeh, I do sometimes flirt with girls in my classes, but it's all in good fun. But really, I'm really shy and reserved, so it usually has to be the girl to make the somewhat 'first flirt' before I go in and flirt with them as well.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 [color=indigo][size=1]Heh, flirting. I do it WAY too much. I feel guilty about flirting. But flirting to me is just to carry on a funny conversation with someone. It's not like I'm leading them on or letting them think I am interested in dating them. I only flirt with my friends.[/color][/size] [color=red][size=1]------->points to James<------- :p I've seen you do that, Asuka, lol.-Mitch[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Chicken Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hmm. It's interesting. A large opinion is that flirting isn't necessarily advancing, it's just harmless fun. Hell yeah. But what is crossing the line? (yes Luci, this is being brought on by 'her') Is there anyway you can know weather or not they do actually like you? Is there another style of flirting that makes it more serious? Or is flirting just stupid, senseless fun to everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
