I used to be able to pick up on it like nothing else and now I don't even realize when guys do. My mom and husband tell me people flirt with me all the time and I don't even notice or realize it. Maybe it's because I've been married for 8 years and just don't look for it anymore. So do you notice when people flirt with you?

I've always been horrible about this. I think Im' just being nice to people and that they're reciprocating. I'm bad at picking up on signs of flirting.

I'm real bad about that too. Half the time I never notice when a woman flirts with me. Usually they to be pretty blatant for me to "get" it.

Usually its Mrs. Chow they tells me if a woman is flirting with me.

I always know it. Probably because I'm on the prowl, myself - just like it says up there by my name and my rep points!

I think my own interaction with men may be perceived as flirting at times when it isn't. I don't believe there's much room for mistakes as far as men's signals go... Then again, I don't know much about the "nice" guys whoever they are.

I'm a pretty good judge of who and when someone is flirting with me and others as well. For example, if a friend of mine is trying to flirt with a gal, I can always tell. I guess, I've learned to "read" people and body language fairly well.

I was at a training class for the past couple weeks and was flirting like crazy with a guy I met there but I didn't get any response. I don't know if he just wasn't interested, or if he was clueless that I was even flirting with him. I thought I was fairly obvious about it, but maybe not enough? Guess I'll never know.

I'm afraid to even be nice to certain guys because I don't want them to think I'm flirting when I'm just being friendly. I'll be nice and the next thing I know I'm being asked out by someone I'm not even remotely attracted to. Yet the guys I am attracted to don't ask me out when I'm being nice AND flirty. Darn men!

I think I can tell when guys are flirting with me, but it happens so rarely that I may be out of practice.

I am sooooo dense about flirting. I have to be hit over the head with this stuff. Subtleties just don't work well with me in this arena.

Another horribly dense one here. Usually other people have to clue me in.

Still trying to figure out why a certain man always hugs me when he sees me, and touches my hand just before he leaves.

Yes I blocked it out during my marriage too, but now that I'm not married any more, my radar is tuned and I pick up on it a lot--if I want to. I don't always think of it as needing to lead anywhere, just a little fun thing that spices up my life.
