What is Flirting to You?

There are a lot of missunderstands with Flirting, and I don't really think there is a real deffinition for it. I mean there is a way to flirt with someone obviously, and then there is the kind that people take for granted.

What do you think?

 

Definitely touching. (Not like that)

If someone hugs me a lot, grabs my hand, etc, its sort of hard not to think its flirting...or at least the person likes me a lot. Still, I agree, sometimes its hard to tell.

 

Touching,being overly-friendly and laughing alot.
If you are flirting with someone you usually have direct eye contact with them the whole time.

 

Same as Raidowave I guess.

Also some people keep mistaking some of my actions as flirting when i'm being polite, it has caused many problems.

 

Ditto <.< It's not fun when that happens.

I consider anything said or done with even the most innocent sexual manner as flirting. But that doesn't really help when I'm trying to figure out if someone is flirting with me...​

 

Same thing happens to me,except my friends hold on to the idea that I am falling for some boy I just met.When actually, I was just being friendly.

 

I don't like to define flirting, because I really have no idea. I'm way too inexperienced with this stuff.

 

I'm kind of...well, stupid when it comes to realizing somebody is flirting, but I do notice some things. For example, little touches to the shoulder, hand, etc. like people have already mentioned, as well as complimenting the person a lot, smiling at them, hanging around them often, and similar things.

 

That has happened to me so many times its not funny.

Anyways, I cant really tell when someone is flirting with me. When i get compliments from a guy, i don't consider it flirting, but then again I don't know what flirting is...

 

Well I've been mistaken for flirting with some of my guy friends, and like posted before it's caused a bit of mahem.

For me flirting is basically anything to do with continous eye contact, smiling, extremely friendly [not the nice/polite way], touching, holding, coming really close with them. I suck at determining whether or not a person is flirting with me but I do notice some things, like kairimagic said.

edit: awkward moments with guys, like after they've complimented me. I don't take compliments all that well & I usually don't know what to say ;-;​

 

Flirting to me is when there is limited touching of the person but a lot of ouching with their possessions (ex:Phone, hat, book....etc, etc.....) And to me, when a girl is always laughing and smiling when you are around, i just feels like the people like each other.....

 

Flirting to me is similar to most posts here. If someone is touching you when the person doesn't have to, hanging on you, having eye contact while doing something of a seductive move, winking at you playfully, being coy. It can also be through words said as they do these sorts of things.

I've never really thought it flirting if someone is just being nice or polite. Nor have I thought it flirting, just because someone is wearing clothes that might be kind of revealing. Regardless of how nice someone talks to me, unless it's laced with innuendo, it's just being amiable and I would take it that the person is interested in being a friend. Flirty behavior usually I won't pick up on unless the person is doing something along the lines of touching me while looking at me for a reaction and the scene just seems abnormal for a friend to do. I get hugs from females all the time and there's a difference with how a girl who 'likes' you and is flirting does it. xD

 

To me flirting is more like talking/body language than touching so winking, giggling, Overly-Friendly talks, etc.

 

I think it can actually depend on the people involved. For example, if I mentioned pocky to my boyfriend, that's using an inside joke to indirectly say I want a kiss (long story). However, if anyone else mentioned pocky, it wouldn't be flirting, it'd just be conversation.​

 

Acting like you're having a good time and not being afraid of contact to the person. That's PG. But other flirting which is much more obvious to me is the clear innuendo/suggestion of things. It can get awkward because I suck at it. <:

 

Flirting:
Verb
1 [intrans] Behave as though attracted or trying to attract someone, but for amusement rather than with serious intentions.

 

I agree with Dalk, I don't know to much about this subject, but I think Flirting is when a girl or boy acts unusual to possibaly impress one another.

 

Compliments about the person left and right, a never-ending sea of giggling or blushing, slightly suggestive comments, touching (of course), cute or slight intimacy.

A greeting can say a lot about it. For example:

"Hey."

Vs.

"[insert persons name here]!!! :glomp: :glomp: ^^ HI! 8DDDDD!" ​

 

i swear all my friends say i flirt all the time but i cant tell cause i just talk like i normaly do and be friendly at the same time but they say i flirt o well i guess it isnt to bad :)

 

I think it's only flirting when the person who is flirting thinks it's flirting, if that makes any sense at all.

I mean I "flirt" with my friends all the time, but I don't actually have any real interest in them. Like I tackle-glomp them and it's kinda a running gag with me and one of my male friends that I grope his "boobs". In fact this guy I've actually had more physical contact with then any boyfriend I've ever had. But I wouldn't call it flirting because I'm not interested in him, I'm just rather hyper.
