I'm with you, Elspode. I'm damned proud of the large number of women I've repulsed over the years.

I think everyone flirts whether it's knowingly or not. I know I do sometimes, but usually there's intent there and mostly it works pretty well.

Women flirt to get men to do what they want.

Apparently I flirt very well, but I have absolutely no clue that I am doing so.

I'm just naturally friendly.

I smile alot but also like to make fun. Aparently being teasingly mean is flirting...Anyway I know I flirt but never to really get anything out of it. The only person, I know of, who has ever responded to my flirting was my b/f. If someone flirts w/ me I don't normally think anything of it, I don't believe that anyone could really be seriously interested in me.

How do I flirt?

Obviously and Successfully

Although, I'm a naturally friendly person and sometimes my friendliness is taken as flirting.

My secretary says I have made an art form out of flirting.

how do i flirt? treat every single woman the same. make eye contact, be friendly, avoid unsolicited lewd comments, laugh, be friendly, tease, open doors, be friendly, avoid grabbing my package, be friendly...

and i admit that in groups i always find the wall flower who is rarely the target of flirtation and make a point of engaging her. worst case scenario i spend an evening chatting with someone who is usually really friendly, but shy. best case i catch the attention of the one i was interested in all along. does that make me a manipulative pig?

I used to be much better at flirting. I prided myself in being able to flirt well both in person and through messages (I'm from the old BBS days when messages boards were ALL you had to work with, and when there was only a handful of women who even understood how to turn on computers).

Nowdays, I feel awkward at it. I find it much easier to flirt with women than with men, though. I think they are more willing to accept your attempts. Men are all into the whole visual thing. Women seem willing to accept wit. Perhaps I just have more success with women than men?

Personally, I find that I flirt better when I feel better about myself. I like long fingernails, wearing sexy underwear and just the right outfit. Feeling sexy yourself is a good way to start.

Now see Selene, I have this vision of you sitting at your computer in a sexy teddy with these super looooong fingernails

But youre soooo right....flirting is heaps easier when you are feeling confident within yourself.

No flirting. Ever.

Flirting leads to desire. Desire leads to intimacy. Intimacy leads to suffering. Flirting is the path to the dark side.
