Does flirting work?

[Solvez18]

Hey guys, I'm just curious for everyone's opinion here. Guy or Girl. How do you feel about flirting? Does it make you happy, confused, nervous etc? I'm asking this because I have an ex who I still like that has moved on to another relationship. I figured my best bet to kind of stick out as more than a friend was some light flirting or borderline dirty talk (nothing extreme). Which I tried doing once and was told I had made her nervous, I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing but either way it's making me think I should hold myself back a little.

well, for one thing.... flirting, and "dirty talk" are two completely different things. Flirting should be fun and mostly innocent, not bordering on rapey or creepy.

I don't mind flirting as long as it doesn't cross the line into being disrespectful or any of those things I mentioned before.

Totally agree with Fiona. There are different levels of flirting, mostly based on the other persons reaction or willingness to engage. Innocent flirting is fine. Dirty talk? You won't get very far with that.

I love to flirt with people. It's fun to do. I think dirty talking would be reserved for couples to do during foreplay or sex. If you sense that flirting with someone is making then nervous or upset then you should stop immediately.

It can be fun.

Usually I hardly realize that I'm flirting. But if i get it .... i may've the whole package .... depends on the girl I'm flirting with.

Why r u questioning flirting with
an ex whos into another relationship?
I agree flirting should b done in a fun
way. Dirty talking to a girl is grouse
and would make anyone nervous.

Personally, I haven't been very good with flirting.

It kind of goes something like this. You flirt with someone and by there reaction, you know if you have a chance with them. If it goes well you know that you can try to take the next step. If not, you can move on and there is no harm done.

I'm just trying to get across the idea I'm still interested in her. I'm not interfering with the relationship.

As long as u know what u r doing but
flirting isn't going to go well with her
new conquest if he finds out. My ex
had a football player flirting with her
and she gave in and so did my interest
in her.

:tree: :santa:

It's a decent enough way to hint to someone how you feel, but it doesn't make people like you. I think most people's reactions depend upon how they already feel about the person. I personally don't flirt at all.

[SeansLittleBro]

I believe we all flirt to some degree...I know I do with a hot guy but I have no intention to go anywhere now that I have a bf, but I like to and like when they flirt back...dirty talk , however, is not something i do or like to engage in...there isn't aplace fo that and tbh i think it shows immaturity and ignorance...I will say that b4 my BF, flirting can definitely work

^^^ this. I’m actually pretty flirty with people I’m in a relationship with/hooking up with/etc. but like Babs said, it doesn’t make someone like you, just shows how you feel.

Flirting is fun. Some compliments and some winks are just enough to make my GF blush. But, I've never dirty-talked before.

[Fritz]

Id say it does ;)

[Caycedilla]

I wouldn’t want to hear any type of dirty talk unless I was in a relationship with that person. Otherwise it would come off as kinda creepy to me.

Being on either end of flirting is ok though, and can be fun as long as it’s not too serious.

Depends on the person and how you do it
