Flirting? Can you describe it? What exactly is it?

some one can flirt with you , does not mean they want to be with you

now with that being said some flirt to try and get in your pants

<shrug>

Exactly... Flirting can be just the way a person expresses themselves.
Also cultures will define Flirting in many different styles and methods..
It might help if you could define this a bit more

Well i think flirting comes out from u spontaneously its just a way of showing love & care but i also think there are also guys out there who do flirting only to get advantages on someone innocent

My best flirt line evah........"Scuse me while I whip this out"!

Just don't poke me in the eye with it! It's massive!!!!

Sorry about that. My 44 Magnum can be that way.

I was tempted to google "frirting".
But, realized, it's just not worth it.

yaa there you go i am sure u will find some interesting flirting on this site

Same here. I guess it will remain a mystery for both of us.

Ah. I think I understand.

Yes: "flirting" is indeed, inherently based on deception, in a way. It is a form of communication behavior, designed to simultaneously show interest in someone, without risking full honesty and overt actions which might cause the other person to be uncomfortable or embarrassed. It also is designed to allow the person showing interest, to retreat with a "no harm no foul" kind of explanation, so THEY don't get too embarrassed.

As with everything people do, some will unabashedly use flirting to lie, cheat, and victimize, and some others will use the fact that they can respond to it, as an excuse to behave badly, while blaming the flirter.

But at the heart of it all, flirting itself is just another human tool. Some people use it for good stuff, some use it for not so good stuff.

Just proud to feel that the subject is choosed by me..so happy to get such meaningfull answers thank u all

Depends on the people flirting and with who.

Between lovers it is foreplay.

Between strangers it is getting the person's attention to get to know each other.

Generally between people that know each other it can just be a harmless ego boost for one or both sides.

Between some one you know is taken and yourself asking for more attention than is due it is cheating.

i mostly agree with this...

flirting...fishing or hunting..?

While many things should be taken more seriously, flirting I dont think is one that falls in that category. It's just nice harmless fun.

It can also be used as a means to vent.

People are biological creatures.

When they encounter someone that fulfills the basic requirements of attraction, of potentially offering up "good" offspring, the body floods with chemicals preparing it for sex, pushing it to have sex.
Doesn't matter if you're a man or woman.

Those chemicals make you feel happy, and good, and gregarious, and friendly.
And that reaction never ever ever ever gets turned off.

So, how to let it out to get back to your normal state? Flirt a little, enjoy the chemical high, then move on.


Flirting can also be a simple social tool.
Part of a social facade and someone's personality, sometimes in order to show off their intellect.


Flirting can also be a sign of all sorts of emotional and mental problems.
Such as if someone fears their only value to society, the world, other people, is as a sex object...they may flirt with everyone in order to get a sex based response, which is the same as patting them on the back and saying "you're good!"

They may not want to have sex with anybody, they just want to feel good about themselves. Getting validation for what you think your purpose and value is, is highly gratifying.


The person flirting may also have been the type of kid that liked to yell "pee pee, poo poo," at their parents and then run away giggling.
They may like to feel that high when discussing things that they are told they should consider "taboo."


People can flirt for all sorts of reasons, and it may have absolutely nothing to do with wanting to have sex.

I think some things can be misunderstood for flirting.

Being friendly is a case in point.

Some people are just very friendly and chatty but that don't mean they fancy you.

On the other side of the coin there is the fatal hesitation
