    What makes you think she is flirting rather than just being nice?

  • I have no idea but can I just add that if you ever do figure women out enough to understand them would you please explain them to me.

    Although the mystery is part of what makes them lovable.

    I dont do flirting but when i get on with someone, i treat them like i would to a brother, yes, and always get given dirty looks because of it. I have to add that i grew up with 3 and no sisters.

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

    Personally I have flirted with men I have no interest in, I have lots of male friends and have flirted with them. however they know I am attached I am a flirt and its just a part of who I am

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

    I have but I also know when to back off with the flirting if I think its starting to be taken seriously


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

    I do flirt differently between say how I flirted with my current OH and how I flirt with my male friends and random men. I am a lot more touchy feely when I actually fancy someone along with flirting so the classic childhood they will touch you if they fancy you springs to mind im kind of dirty flirty if its just flirting for flirtings sake so more one of the lads but having a girly twist (cant figure out how to say it)

    Define flirting, that is the biggest problem with finding solutions to this, I think.
    Many women (and presumably sometimes men) can get labelled as flirts, when that's just how they are friendly with people in general.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Of course - you may have something they want; power, wealth or perhaps they're just bored or fancy being flattered in return.

    Well if you get a shag out of it they may be attracted....though even then it's not totally certain.

    Depends.

    If the bulb has blown on the car & i've just had my nails done, the bloke in the Car Parts place will fit it for me if i'm nice to him ;)

    On the other hand, if the bulb blows, i look like i've had no sleep for 3 nights & could do with a shower after the gym..then no. Its just *give me the damn bulb so i can go sleep*

    I do. Any female working in a male dominated industry will find it a handy tool. Especially if you work in sales like I do. They all know I'm engaged but enjoy the banter.

    I don't but some men may think I do.

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

    I see the heart as well as the face so perhaps I do unintentionally.


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

    No, usually I have to be told as I never notice.

    OP has someone been flirting and your trying to see if there was something more to it?
    It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun
