Questions on flirting

[YellowElephant]

Okay so I have a few questions regarding flirting. I would love for you wonderful people to enlighten me on this topic!

1) I've heard the phrase "heavy flirting" too many times now. What does it mean? How does heavy flirting compare with normal flirting? Examples??

2) Do you purposefully flirt? If so, how? If not, is it because you don't know how, or for another reason?

3) Do you think it's terrible to flirt with someone you don't really like that much/ wouldn't want to date? Or is flirting just like casual conversation and fun?

I'm sorry for my cluelessness :3

I would greatly appreciate your answering of any questions you feel comfortable answering!

1) It's like "heavy" anything. Just intense flirting. REALLY letting the person know you are interested. Not really being coy at all.

2) Nope. I don't think I flirt at all but people have pointed out my flirting which just makes me confused cuz I thought I was being friendly. I would feel like I don't know how.

3) Yes, that would be leading them on.

1) Very obvious flirting

2) Sometimes I flirt on purpose. Not much since I am with my current partner.

3) No it isn't terrible. It can just be for fun, but people should know you're not being serious, or they can get hurt.

To me, "heavy flirting" means something to the extent that you're doing it A LOT in a short period of time, and/or you're starting to touch the person more (run hand down arm, patting butt, touching breast, etc..).

2) Do you purposefully flirt? If so, how? If not, is it because you don't know how, or for another reason?

With my boyfriend. Prior to my boyfriend, I flirted like crazy with everyone. The reason for that was because my needs weren't being met in my last relationship in terms of physical and emotional intimacy (note here that physical intimacy DOES NOT mean sex). Now, I basically only flirt with my boyfriend. If I flirt with others, it's because it's being 100% playful, with no real intentions/meaning behind it.

3) Do you think it's terrible to flirt with someone you don't really like that much/ wouldn't want to date? Or is flirting just like casual conversation and fun?

Nah, if you're also single. It's just a fun, cute thing to do in a lot of cases (wink, lick lips, raise brow, etc...). Everyone flirts differently. These two videos might interest you :)

Heavy flirty, in my words, is when both people know what is happening and it keeps escalating / contain sexual references.

Here is my example:

Person1: Wow your hair is so soft what conditioner do you use?

Person2: Haha thanks I use some coconut stuff from the grocery store. Maybe you should touch it more often!

Person1: Maybe we should hang out sometime so i Can.

Person2: We definitely should.

It could be sexual it could not be sexual but these people are heavily flirting.

2) Do you purposefully flirt? If so, how? If not, is it because you don't know how, or for another reason?

It kind of just happens when I do it sometimes I do it on purpose cause it is kind of fun its like dating but only for a couple of minutes.

3) Do you think it's terrible to flirt with someone you don't really like that much/ wouldn't want to date? Or is flirting just like casual conversation and fun?

As a guy, who has been lead on before, please don't flirt with people you absolutely no interest in for very long. It usually results in resentment for being lead on.

I'm fairly sure heavy flirting is a term people use to make others look worse for "being a tease"

If I flirt its more out of an interest in getting to know them. Generally I usually would just think of it as being friendly if the people arould me didn't see being friendly and call it flirting. I generally don't anymore because my current peers seem to think flirting is always a sexual invitation. Its kind of isolating really.

If its explicit flirting it might be a later disappointment but its still fun for everyone (sexual)

i never really flirt on purpose unless i'm clearly joking? like i guess some of the things i say to my close friends could very much be construed as flirting but it's just how we interact.

honestly i don't think there's anything wrong with flirting with people you don't intend to date... you don't owe anyone anything and although i would never personally flirt intentionally with someone i wasn't interested in, often people can accuse you of flirting and leading someone on to make you look bad and i don't think that's fair at all.
