Here is one I get a lot. The lady customer makes sure she informs me things aren't working out with her BF or husband. What business is it of mine? Oh, I get it! You aren't single yet though! I'm not getting in the middle of that!

Yup, yup. I know so many guys who bring out the "I'm in a relationship, but am unhappy" card. As if that was somehow my fault. So I tell them," Let me know when the divorce papers are actually signed". They disappear.

That is why I am still single! The husbands are thankful even if they don't know!

Yeah, if some guy I don't know pinches my ass he's pulling back a stump.

And, I would never pinch some strange guy's ass.
I didn't say it was someone I didn't know...kinda. She comes in around the time I'm getting ready to leave work. Like an hour beforehand...well, now we're leaving at 6 instead of 5, so it's two hours now.

Anyway,

how are we supposed to know the difference between a flirt because you mean it, and a flirt just because that's just the way you are?

When nothing further comes from the flirting.

The only sign I have been getting lately in the sign of the middle finger.

First, said sign would have to be glaringly obvious. Like you scribbling a note in my notebook, which says "Call me." and includes your number. I don't pick up well on subtleties.

Second, if you flirt with a man, and he responds with interest, does it mean that you are going to accept? Or are you sometimes "only flirting" and mean nothing by it? And how do you expect men to know the difference, if so?

Third, specific example here. I know a woman who has made efforts to speak to me, to brush by me, has even pinched my butt--but when I responded to her making what I considered the first move, she declined. What gives? Why would you pinch a guy's butt and ACT like you're interested--if you're not?
Your answers here are going to be as different and varied as the people who provide them.

But--and there's always a but--the glaringly obvious thing to me is that the person who pinched your butt is a tease. I have no respect for that kind of thing, myself. Leading people on is a cheap way of getting attention with no regard to the person you're getting the attention from.

The rest I'm not qualified to answer. I don't flirt--it's not my style and hasn't been for about 15 years now--and any signals that I, personally, would send a man would be subtle. I don't do the proverbial brick-to-the-head thing. Either a guy is perceptive and in tune with body language and the undercurrent of a conversation or he's not, and there's either a spark or there's not.

If this were me I'd assume that:

You never know but it sounds like you will soon be visiting some out of the way corner with this person........Might be for some playing around or some more serious playing. Who doesn't like the idea of getting caught at work?
