Friendly: Hey, how's your day going? --- is that right? [insert joke] Haha, good luck, hope you pull through. See ya around.
Flirting: Hey! [insert hug] Haven't seen you in a while, thought you missing. Glad to know your back [licks dry lips]. What have you been up to? [pulls hair behind ear] Oh yeah? I'm so sorry to hear [places hand on his arm]. If there's anything I could do for you, just let me know [eyes him up and down].

Of course that's the more subtle version, which most dudes can't pick up on and a lot girls don't realize is actually considered flirting.

the power of a good genuine smile is more powerful than flirting

Firstly, @ you being the one to answer the question.

Secondly, does the licking of the lips only count when you stick your tongue out? You know you can bite your lips and then lick them when they're inside your mouth so to speak?

Thirdly, who on earth eyes a guy like that and what kind of guy does not notice? lol

ps

if that is subtle, what on earth does full blown flirting involve?

Flirting is honestly an integral life skill. Do you want to know how many binds I've managed to flirt my way out of? Several. Heterosexual men are so easy to trick: you bat your lashes, you smile sweetly, and BOOM. Khalas. GOT 'EM. "What ticket, officer?"

Blackvelvet,


Flirting is when You make hints to someone from the oposite sex, that You're feeling them but in a 'joking kind of manner'. Like if someone said in His job interview, 'damn, this place can't be bad to work at if they got someone as fine as u around here' or something like that. I don't know how bodily gestures, can be considered flirting.

Sticking your tongue out makes you mentally challenged. Biting the bottom lip is pretty much a universal womanly sign of "I want you". Don't mix that with eye-contact.

The guys that don't notice and think "she's just being nice" are dudes who can't possibly imagine a woman being into them that way. And there's a much higher percentage of guys than you might think.

This is subtle, believe me. I've also seen the obvious... "Can I borrow your phone, my battery died?" [inserts her phone number, winks]. Another "I got a pack of skittles and a half bottle of wine in my car." Some more obvious ones, not really flirting though, are girls leaning out of a car screaming "compliments" (This one happened to me, which I took with offense.)

My being socially retarded is more of an effect to a cause yet known. I don't fall for flirts. I know why girls do it, and I'm not one to walk over. That is when they want something from me. If they're doing it genuinely, I'll probably clam up, tilt my head to the right, and make humming noises.

That's such a creeper line; I'd feel threatened. Like, that's the grownup version of, "Hey little kid, do you want to see the puppy in my van?". That's kidnapper sh-t right there. No me gusta.

Murax that is very obvious. The concern is about things that a person may be doing that could be interpreted as flirting when in fact they're not.

and scare away the one girl who was genuinely flirting...


Actually I don't see how flirting can be genuine. It's a mating ritual of an elusive promise that will most probably never be fulfilled.

flirting is only as powerful as the person is attractive

I think a guy who uses his genitals as a brain wouldn't mind the tone.

I mean genuine as in the person is sincerely interested in you and would like to show it.

Agree entirely. An attractive guy approaching a girl = "cute". A below average guy approaching a girl = "reaches for mace"
