Can you tell when people are flirting with you? (marriage, woman, attracted)

[carlitasway]

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.

[Easybreezy]

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.
