Does anyone here do it? Blush when you see others in the act? Can you even tell when you're being flirted with? But most importantly, do you have any important beauty tips, like the proper application of mascara to squirrel hair? Not that I do that stuff.

I have absolutely no clue what constitutes flirting versus chatting.

I'm not very good at it and it's sometimes hard for me to tell if I am being flirted with. Then I'll tell my friends and they'll start to giggle and all-knowingly say, "That's flirting!" Ugh. I've heard lots of funny stories about pathetic attempts at it. When I do see it, I usually find it very funny because one person of the other is acting really dumb, hehe.
But sometimes, it can make an encounter more interesting. And if the other person flirting with you is really good at it, and you believe what they're saying, it can make your day.

I remember back in middle school there was this girl, Clarinda, who acted really strange around me
 I don't know if you can it flirting or the occult, but she would touch me, lean on me and at one point she imprinted her lipsticks on a tissue and gave it to me A lot of the time she acted real ditzy and hysterical around me. I was freaked out becuase she was only half jokingly doing these things.Also more recently (I'll never forget this), this girl in my chinese class who sits next to me, at one point gave me this glassy stare like she was entranced. I was talking to her before that, making some funny remarks and all, and then I realized what was happening. I was totally freaked out and I actually gave her a concerned look, acting as if something strange happened. I'm just totally freaked out that something like that would happen right in front of me <("<)...<(' ')>...(>")>

I think NoCode is too.
 Some of my lady friends and I flirt quite a bit, especially when we're having lunch for some reason. I certainly enjoy it -- physical contact is always a plus. I also used to flirt a lot with the design interns at my workplace (one would hope mutually), usually not quite understanding what was happening until I was already in the middle of the act. Does anyone else find this happening? I mean, not purposefully doing it? For a very long time, I used to be incredibly dense about "signals." The most notable moment came in my freshman year at college, when I enlisted in some psych. experiment (for class credit). At the lab, the experimenter (some 3, 4 years my senior) really hit it off -- the laughter, the brushes of the arm, all that good stuff -- and she even gave me her phone number at the end, saying, "Maybe we can go out for a drink sometime." Meanwhile, I'm thinking, "Wow, what a nice person." And I didn't call. I'd like to say that this was an isolated incident, but that'd just be an excuse for (still ongoing) stupidity. |

Hrm... one of those modern things where the girl asks the guy out, eh.
It is a sorrowful squandering of opportunity.  Adios |

Quite right of course. It's one of the many reasons why I can have a surprising (and sometimes contradictory) enthusiasm in my self-loathing.

I'm no good at flirting. I have friends that are really good at it, but I don't even think to do it.
It seems like such a performance, but it really makes a guy feel good when he can make a pretty lady smile. "It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow on my brain!" - Sealab Captain

If you did think you were good at flirting, would you be mackin' on women left and right?

I find a wonderfully funny to hear a 21? year old use "mackin'."

Hahaha...
If I was good, I think I'd have some fun with it. I'd just know when not to go to far. |

This Earl, being blue-blooded by birth and rearing, has been aptly trained in all the social graces required in the delicate art of coquetry.
Observe this one: I sidle inconspicuously up to the lady's side, and calmly take in a view of her décolletage. And she goes, "Good sir! Have you no shame?" To which I respond, "Indeed. I have not." *twitches whiskers* "Oh, forsooth, someone save me!" cries she, and she swoons into my furry arms. And that, dear peasants, is how one co- ... uh. Coquets. Wolfgang von Nuts, Esq.

I bet I am terribly bad at flirting..I don't believe I ever have flirted before. The only reason I have any relationship at all is because she likes me *shrug*

I met someone. Sort of. She always sits next to me in class, but I never overcame her aloofness and her skirt, and so, we've never spoken.
Until this past week. She talked to me in an elevator. I made her laugh. And if I could stop looking like a tired rag, I'd ask. In the room the women come and go The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T.S. Eliot |

I've got it all figured out, no thanks to any of the more fortunate sots out there (who must be components of some vast conspiracy to keep this quiet). And I'm going to tell you.
Recent events have made me reconsider everything I once thought was involved in the genesis of relationships. All of the romantic melodrama I had in mind was flushed out in a single line. She was direct; she just told me. I didn't flinch; I sipped my coffee. There was no flush, no heart flutter -- I just sipped my coffee. That's when it hit me: The "good" matches don't knock your existing life off-kilter. They complement it.  Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams. - Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo |
