I feel as though I was born with the flirty gene. However, if I truly like someone they know it. I'm very comfortable letting a person know how I feel about them. I might even like them enough to have my own nickname for them. ;)

Duchess

Ah! The Duchess!!!

And, there is no one else that has their very own nickname for me! What can I say! Besides, WOW!!!

Hummm.... you have that priceless flirty gene that is like that is unasumming about their beauty... because it's about the entire being, all of their characteristics and the flow of the combinations.

I tend to find understatement the hottest!

Oh, and you have me blushing!

:stillheart:

Exactly! If I actually like the person, I too become a bumbling idiot who always says the wrong thing and just sits there and giggles a lot. :(

I'm a little more bold online though, and will rep them or start a general conversation with them. It just varies. If I see a window of opportunity I usually try to jump thru it without bumping my head! lol

Now if I'm just flirting for the fun of flirting, then I have all the confidence in the world. The sultry smile, the batting eyelashes, the light touching, the rather forward phrases...

cane 09-20-2010 11:11 PM

When flirting I find that my eyes are a gold mine since they have a really extraordinary colour.

Not that I'm flirting theese days, Oh no...would never happen!

Otherwise I think that straight forward is the way to go. When I met my wife for example, after knowing her for some time I went up to her on a party and told her that I was interrested in her and that I thought that she felt the same. I think she was a little thrown by my lack of shyness, but it worked. Of course she had a boyfriend (and was straight) at the time so it's never just straight forward, but flirting goes well together with honesty, works every time.

Ryobi 09-20-2010 11:15 PM

I flirt with everybody.(ask the giant hairy guy I work with. lol) I can't help it. I like to see people smile, I like to give compliments. My compliments aren't a fun fluff flirt, I mean them. And I love seeing the look (or smile) on peoples faces when they realize, "I'm being flirted with."
Flirting almost got me in trouble once, big trouble. I worked nights at a CBRF that was specific to Alzheimer's disease. All of the elderly took me as guy. (which had some serious advantages with showering and dressing the old dudes. I was one of the boys, they didn't feel awkward.) I flirted with the ladies (residents) on a regular basis. I think that worked wonders in getting people that were scared in general because they don't know what's happening to them, to trust me. I rarely had a problem with residents. One day a co-worker thought that me flirting with the resident was the most disgusting thing she had ever seen and called "the state" to tell them what I was doing. A Rep showed up one night to "observe" me. (and I went on as usual. I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong. Nothing was sexual about it.) In the morning I could hear him in the office with admin. and the woman with the problem saying, "if you had 10 more people on staff like that, this place would win awards!" (he was mad.) Admin never had a problem with me, it was that one person and she quit 2 days later.
Anyway, yeah, flirting is just in me. Compliment on anything with a smile and a sparkle in your eye. If I'm working on or in a relationship, flirting is more specific and you will know I'm talkin to you. It confuses some but, I don't flirt for my advantage, I flirt for yours. (not meant cocky)
However, I'm not 2x4 when it comes to people flirting with me. I'm more like 4x8. *shrug*.

Hope this helps!
 
First things first..... BODY LANGUAGE!

Body language shows quite a bit on whether someone is interested in you or not.
I know this may sound kind of strange or odd, but if you are still confused by all of what everyone has said, watch the movie, "He's Just Not Into You". I know the title may seem stupid, but trust me.... it has helped me out a lot when it comes to how I show someone that I'm interested and especially if they aren't interested in me.

You can download it from piratebay.org .

Hope this helps!

jey_z76 09-20-2010 11:54 PM

Just gonna edit one thing..... the movie is actually, "He's Just Not That Into You".

i am a big flirt..........
full frontal flirting is my style..........
lol

girl_dee 03-09-2012 05:38 AM

even though i've been told i'm a natural flirt i don't think i've ever tried to flirt.

WomenMoveMe 03-09-2012 05:51 AM

I am the world's worst flirter. I have no skill whatsoever. I rarely even know I am being flirted with, much less how to return it. I always think I am just talking with someone, then I am told I was flirting. Who knew?

1QuirkyKiwi 03-09-2012 07:46 AM

I can’t flirt even if my life depended on it! I’ve been told numerous times that my naturally bubbly, cheerful and friendly personality “Sends out flirting” signals and is seen as a “Come on!” :blink:

Online is the worst for me, because it’s mistakenly assumed that I’m desperately trying to flirt with everyone when that is genuinely not that case.

When I’m interested in a woman, I’ll smile and gently hold hys/her gaze for a little longer.

deedarino 03-09-2012 08:47 PM

Full Frontal Flirting; nice...

Flirting is good for the soul, and for the souls around you. As long as it is sincere, I don't ever flirt above the level of my intention.

TheMerryFairy 02-24-2013 01:35 AM

I keep it very casual - friendly and innocent. I am flirty by nature so often it can be misunderstood. If I have an actual interest I let it be known so that there's no mistaking one for the other

Ha ha! Oh my God, I'm so turned-on by cockiness and I know I shouldn't be. I don't know what's hot about some butch thinking hy's God's gift but if somebody did walk up to me and invite me to go home with hym that night, I wouldn't but I wouldn't be able to resist talking with hym for a bit. I like dominance but there's always that fine line. If you end up with somebody like that, do you end up having to deal with the massive ego for the duration of the relationship or is that just what hy leads with?

Oh, and I have no game. My problem is I can't read facial expressions and body language well so I'm never quite sure who I should be flirting with. A friend and I were just talking about this today. My problem is when I'm out at a club or something like that, I may see somebody I find attractive but I don't know how to subtly let them know that. I either look away because I can't deal with the uncomfortable eye contact or I smile in a kind of weird way because I'm nervous....I dunno. I've been told I'm unapproachable but I'm not sure how to be approachable without, I don't know, overdoing it. So yes, flirting is a big puzzle for me.

My friend, a crush actually, is the same way *smiles* I love it. Everything is a puzzle to her and in turn she is a puzzle. She had me fascinated because I could never tell how she was feeling or what she was thinking due to her own confusion about my own expressions and things. You aren't unapproachable hny!

You just need to be you and someone will take interest in you and maybe be the one to approach.

little_ms_sunshyne 02-24-2013 09:47 PM

AWKWARD! I have no game. I end up laughing entirely too much out of being nervous, I bite my bottom lip quite a bit, I trip over MYSELF, and it just continues in this awkward sequence of events...Absolutely hopeless!!!!!!!!!

This has been known to happen to me when I am trying to do more than flirt on a friendly innocent level. I am happy I am not the only one and I feel your pain. It's not hopeless! It comes down to meeting the right people, I think LOL.

Ha ha! I'm more approachable online I think. I carry myself like I'm 10 feet tall and bullet-proof. I'm a little thing but I'm mighty.

Actually, online flirting isn't hard for me. It's easy for me to use plain language and little emoticons. I don't have to "read" the person's body language or facial expressions. There's no guesswork. It's cut and dry. I've also been told I flirt all the time but I don't. I'm just kind and friendly to everyone and I guess it gets taken out of context sometimes.

Honestly, at this stage in the game, I don't want to be with somebody who doesn't have the guts to approach me. I'll drop a hankie so-to-speak but you gotta do the rest guys. ;)

I also understand that as well! I really like getting to know you :) That's right, it's no fun if you have to do all of the work. You are worth knowing.

I flirt friendly but I am also friendly to everyone so that means sometimes people mistake one for the other. I try to be as clear as possible to avoid mix ups.

I can see how online flirting can be easier than in person. It's easier to crush too probably?

Girl_On_Fire:

A smile and eye contact works.. It lets the butch or guy you like know you are receptive and hy/he can approach you..

If I can relax my mouth enough to actually smile and not grimace this could work. lol! Thanks!

My friend uses this trick - wearing sunglasses. Maybe not in a club but it works so she can look in a general direction of a person, even making it seem like she's keeping eyecontact but really she is looking off to the side. It might help you relax.

Try the eye contact first and you may not even notice that you are smiling before you know it.. Try it..

Angeltoes 02-24-2013 10:44 PM

I have flirted very openly with butches at work with my eyes and smile. Honestly, I have had some look at me like I'm crazy, but the interesting thing is when they start to hover around my desk and try to get the eye contact back after I give up. Part of me wonders if they just didn't believe I'm gay and another thinks their ego misses the attention. Either way, I often hear butches say 'I'm shy.' Well, hey, I'm a shy person too. It hurts a femme just as much as it hurts a butch to put herself out there and be rejected.

Flirting
 
This thread looks fun.
I will not give up all my secrets but I will start here.

When I see (or read) someone that I find interesting I introduce myself and just start talking to them.

:flowers:

homoe 01-01-2016 04:44 PM

In real time, I'll start with a smile then more than likely strike up a conversation with them.

Wrang1er 01-01-2016 05:59 PM

I tend to use humor...perhaps I need to reevaluate this approach. ;)

Chad 01-01-2016 06:27 PM

Flirting
 
I have been thinking about the flirting statement below because I do the exact same thing when I want to make a new friend.

I guess the difference would be the conversation topics.
For example, conversations on golf verses romance. :)

Nattih 01-01-2016 06:38 PM

My flirting style is trying to telepathically communicate that I like them and getting mad when they don't get the message. Hehe.

Cute!

Shystonefem 01-01-2016 07:25 PM

Ok... so, I have this look. If I am interested and you can see me, you know.

I am pretty shy so someone would have to start the conversation but that someone would definitely know.

Also, my body language. I am pretty good at that.

When I was a teenager, my friends used to make me go to the beach with them. If they liked some group of guys.... they would ask me to give them "the look". They ended up picking them up and I always went home alone. LOL

If I like you and we are in RL, you know......

Angeltoes 01-01-2016 07:33 PM

Awkward. The more strangely I behave the more I like someone haha. *forever alone*

Kelt 01-01-2016 07:42 PM

My style?

Obtuse.

In both directions.

It's a good thing I like being on my own. :thinking:

easygoingfemme 01-01-2016 07:52 PM

Hm, kind of depends on the energy I have going with the person but generally it will fall into categories of:

Humor, joking around
Eye contact
Forgetting to do any of that and blurting out a blunt "hi, I like something about you. Can we explore that?"

jingles76 01-01-2016 07:58 PM

Humor....Works on me . Might as well try it on others lol
