Grin, I can almost see that happen. But you know, that can be very adorable, Larsi.

Adorable? Wow

For me, it is more like embarrassing. And sometimes a wee bit scary, I tend to be scared when a young lady approaches me in a more physical way. Even more harmless stuff like a kiss

Awww, so that means when I visit Ireland I can't kiss you?

I'm sure when the right one comes along, she be such a sweetheart she won't be so scary

I wonder if there's an app for practicing flirting techniques.
Flirt 1.0 or something.

Good point Crystal... makes me wonder about that too. Traditionally it was the man who initiated interest in the woman by giving her attention... flirting is another form of wooing. Wooing or trying to win over the woman of your affection is considered a masculine act, at least I think so.

Although when women dropped their handkerchiefs in order to get the man to initiate, wouldn't that be considered flirting?

I know a thing or two about men and flirting with them

I flirt a lot and I love it! It comes pretty naturally for me that my dates would think that I'm flirting even I'm not.i think you should flirt only if you're comfortable doing it. I've had a few incidents where flirting took things a bit too far and I felt guilty afterwards but luckily i dont let my defences down. I dont think flirting brings out your masculine energy, I think its actually more feminine to flirt. But my recommendation, do what you feel comfortable doing. Good luck!

naha, no good at it, I can't whistle either

How good are you at flirting?
Now there are as I see it different levels of flirting, for instance
- flirting when you haven't a love interest in the person
- flirting when you do have a love interest in the person
- "forced" flirting, like on a dating site, wanting to come across as fun/interesting
- flirting that goes too far (sexual intent)

Personally I find flirting difficult, unless it happens by itself. Now if you want to date it usually doesn't (yet).
Now I realize that it isn't interesting to talk about boring chit like "Oh, I put the bin out today and work was horrible." Nobody cares about that.
I've got plenty of interesting things to talk about, but with a new person I find it difficult.

I can be very lighthearted & playful, flirty, but usually once I've gotten to know someone at least a little bit, so there's a level of comfort.

How is this for you? Does it come easy for you? Don't you do it at all, and if so, how does that pan out with dating? And so on...

Well I have enough self confidence to say I'm pretty damn good at it.
But (and this may be a big factor) before I started what became my 30 year career I was a serious hard core door to door salesman. By hardcore I mean 1099 no leads, company car, expense acct, etc. And no income without results.
I can talk to anyone and I mean the most crabby, mean, pissed off "why did you knock on my door" old Nebraska farmer and in a few minutes 9.5 times out of 10 at the very least have a pleasant vibe going with them.
Switch that over to flirting and it kind of takes the stress out. I've said for years that I'm a student of human behavior. When I was selling I had to learn to read people quickly to decide what type of approach would work best or be poor.
I guess my point for me anyway flirting is just like selling only instead of a product you're selling yourself.
Now that I've said this I have to say I suppose I've been doing this for over 40 years and it just comes natural.
Don't think that I mean any sort of lying or dishonesty; when I was selling we sold an excellent 100% high quality made in the USA product and it was the best of it's kind. We considered anyone that resorted to being dishonest as weak and lame.
Just take a chance and do it, what's the worst that can happen?
