HI
Okay no point in shrugging your shoulder because we all do it.I am talking about flirting with someone,even some of you guys do it via this forum.But which one are you?
I believe that there are two main types of flirting.
Casual flirting is someone who flirts just for the banter it is a bit of fun and they don't want it to really go any further than just fun talk and eye contact.
Testing the water flirting,this is someone who will have you believe that it is for fun but secretly they are just putting that little worm on the hook and hoping you will bite.They will test the water by tactile communication as well as vocal and they will slip in a few testing questions to see the responce.
I am a casual flirter and i do flirt with my staff quite a bit.
So guys the obvious question is : Which one are you?
Depends on the victim person i am flirting with...
Then i submit myself as your willing victim :cheers:

hahah.
yeah, i flirt with some of the board members (you know who you are!) but i'm also extremely loyal and given that I tend to lean towards excess and over-indulgence, well, i guess we either fight our own demons or get comfortable with them.
Been married 22 years (or is it 23? Oh god, I better figure that out right away) so I'm afraid I'm just a casual flirter. I'm extremely loyal, moreso than most pets actually.
Shame, I used to be pretty darned good at flirting too.
I never flirt. Flirting with me is foolish. I basically feel no love. Call me a sad little man but I'd die happy if I died unmarried.
Depends on the situation. Its more casual if I had no chance of a relationship due to there current status.
I am an utterly shameless casual flirt, especially after my meds kept me from feeling like a troll hiding under a bridge. I love my girlfriend/fiance and want no other than her, but there is NOTHING in the world like a great run of banter built around flirting. It's like a dance-you want to push the limits but never overstep them, and always keep it thrilling.
Casual flirt I suppose. I never really do it these days, I've kind of given up on women and in the past I'd do it jokingly with people I wasn't even remotely attracted to. They may have classed it as flirting (testing the water), but I was just being a goof. Funny thing is I don't think I have the balls to do it now either way. I don't like taking the risk of women thinking that I like them also, no matter how attractive they are. My head's messed up.
I have Aspergers', so I'm never really sure... :question:
Casual, just to work on being personable. Don't need no hookups.

Sometimes I'm #1 type, sometimes #2. It all depends,I guess.
I enjoy a little casual banter, but I'm totally married, so it's just fun and games with some friends for me.
I don't think I know how to flirt, but I have been known to drool.
There was an obviously gay guy that used to flirt with me at an oriental market where I would buy seafood. He was always all giggly and smiley when I was there, and used to give me great deals on shrimp and scallops. He'd weigh out a pound of shrimp for me, print out the price tag, then add a bunch more, sometimes doubling and tripling it for free. This happened for a couple years until my wife came into the store with me, then he seemed really p**sed and never gave me any deal again. When we went to that store, my kid (about 16 or 17 at the time) used to say "You can't come into this store mom, dad's going to flirt with some gay guy to get a good deal on scallops". She hated the store anyways and never would go inside, until the kid said that to her for the 6th or 7th time, then she came in and ruined the whole deal.
That's what kind of flirt I am: the kind that does it because shellfish is expensive.
That's terribly shellfish of you . . .
Oh, clam up Indy. .
I don't see any point to casual flirting. I hate it when a woman I'm attracted to does it to me, and I can't see why I'd be interested in flirting with someone I'm not attracted to.

You seem rather hostile there Rev, you don't by any chance work in a seafood market, do you?

If he is be carefull, I heard that guy had crabs.
I'm an unashamed flirt when I'm single. And I usually mean business. I've also done it for male friends of mine if they feel like their girlfriends are being neglectful. Because that's the kind of friend I am :teddyr:
When I'm attached I only do it if I'm feeling neglected or lonely. But it's only for fun and to make myself feel better. I never do it to hurt anyone.

It's my sole occupation!
Rev is floundering in this thread.

I rarely flirt. I tend to have difficulty picking up on someone else flirting with me, and I'm pretty shy by nature. I can remember a couple of different cashiers at a gas bar in my hometown who I think flirted with me. This was back when I was younger, fitter, and single. One used the fact that we both drove early 80s Cutlass Supremes as an ice breaker. The other, who was very cute, seemed to light up whenever I walked in the store, and always seemed ready to chat. A friend of mine confirmed this, and urged me to flirt back, but I just wasn't sure.
There have been a couple of ladies I've flirted with - coworkers mostly. Older, married ladies with a sense of humour, who I'd worked with enough to be comfortable. We'd joke around, and it would get a little flirty. Totally innocent and in good fun, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about what it might be like to, you know. Again, this was when I was a little younger, and at least somewhat attractive.
I don't really flirt well. To be honest, I never had much success romance-wise until I gave up on flirtation and took a more direct approach.

It's completely irrational, but for some reason I find it depressing that I resemble that remark. :bluesad:
On the other hand: I avoid flirting in real life. I guess I am not good at it because more often than not it seems to invite full-out active pursuit...EEK! :buggedout:
