If you really wanted to cut back on the confusion and having to put up with how they respond, you could just stop teasing them back.
I'm not going to stop teasing back til they learn. That's the only way.

I'd say you probably have the upperhand if the guys teasing you don't get you hot and bothered

It just IS!
This deft response didn't get the attention that it deserves.

A cup check is a fine way to interact with my male friends. Doubt most of my female friends would want any part of it.

You've missed one key element, Bella: The difference lies in whether or not the man or woman in question is in a position to desire the person flirting with them or not.


I dare say just as many women, approached by a guy in whom they were even passingly interested, would be uncertain whether or not his flirtations were real or horseplay. It's called a sense of hope.

Well, we are talking about people who don't know each other. It's easy to misinterpret the language and intentions of people you just meet. When you interact with people on a daily basis and still can't glean the most basic of things, there's the rub.

I think U.S. is onto something. Its not as if the girl being flirted to by the other girl has a hope, or fantasy, about that person that they carry around with them. And its also not as likely (but not impossible) that the girl flirted to by the guy is actually attracted to him. BUT the guy being flirted to by the girl has this idea as a very real, possibly misguided, possibility. Methinks thats just biology....

If you work with someone every day or several days a week then you can't say they don't know each other. Obviously a complete stranger wouldn't know if you were flirting or just being silly.

Your co-workers should know your personality.
