1. Do women flirt with men they have no interest in?

2. If so, would a woman flirt meaninglessly with a man they think unattractive?

3. How can you tell the difference between flirting for fun and actual attraction?

'Flirting' is quite an ambiguous term. What you see as flirting might be seen that way by someone else. A woman might flirt with someone they have no interest in pursuing a relationship with... then again they may not flirt with someone they really fancy! It's never easy

1. Some yes, some are naturally friendly which is classed as flirting

2. I wouldn't see above answer

3. You can't really

Is someone flirting with you and you can't work out if they are serious?

That's a bit like asking 'do men just want meaningless one night stands'. Some do, some don't.
You can't just ask a question about 'women' and assume it applies to all women.
Personally I would not flirt with a man I was not interested in, then again I am partnered up so probably wouldn't flirt at all, but even in my single days I would not flirt with an unattractive man just to get attention or as a game. I think it's a bit cruel particularly if said man then thinks he's in with a chance when he's not.

But I'd imagine some women would quite enjoy this sort of sport.

For me the difference between flirting and having an actual attraction to someone is all in the body language and eye contact. Also the amount of interest that is shown in the person, in wanting to get to know them, gives away how you are feeling about them.

Flirting is kept lighthearted and stays on quite a shallow level. Attraction is more obvious and deeper.

Depends really. I have never flirted with someone I thought was unattractive. I'm not sure I'd actually be able to. BUT, I have flirted with someone with absolutely no interest in taking it any further. Many reasons, I was already attached, they were, he was my boss (!) Not all at once I should add. Sometimes it's just fun to have a flirting partner, although usually both parties know when it's not meant to be taken seriously. Not entirely sure how that's conveyed though!! Sorry!

Nope. You'll have to buy her dinner to find out :rotfl:

On the flip side,many men read friendly to mean more than it is

It really does depend on the person.

Some people flirt regardless of whether they are interested in a person are not because they like the attention.

Some people flirt because they fancy somebody.

If you know someone well you can generally tell if they are 'that type' or whether there is an attraction behind the fliritng.
