Flirting in a Non-GLBT Space

[imperfect_cupcake]

I think the 2x4 analogy implies that butches are dense.
Who would want to be around someone who thought they
were being flirted with constantly?

I think that some people may not actually understand the whole premise of flirting. If you
are open to the possibility that you are fabulous enough to be flirted with, then if you *think* someone *might* be flirting with you... you flirt back. to the same degree/level. this is now entering the flirt arena. the person who started, if they *are* flirting, will be encouraged and if they are flirting to pull you, rather than flirting for social fun, they will *UP the VOLUME* of it. You return in kind. they go further and at this point it's pretty damn obvious she's flirting. That's why flirting starts with a SMILE and not someone staring at "you" and sliding their tongue in and out from between their fingers and pinching their own nipple. right?

it's so they approach cautiously. Smile
smile back
wink
wink back

it's easy. just do back what they do. and eventually you'll figure out if they are flirting. But jeeze, yeah, I like people who know that they are worth flirting with and open to that happening. It's less crushing for me, as a vulnerable approaching person!
