Yeah I do it all the time. The sad thing is that I do it so well that sometimes my female friends start to fall for me. I don't usually flirt on purpose, I guess that's just who I am. It's hard being overwhelmingly attractive to women, I must say.

No, it's a waste of both parties' time and interest.

I'm clueless about flirting. Even read articles on the art of flirting. Just rolled my eyes and was reminded why I am not interested at all about flirting. It's cheesecake factory overload that I want to puke.

As Dew said, I dont even know I am flirting sometimes. I guess I am just a flirty person...

I have conscientiously flirted with someone I knew was unavailable though. I was VERY attracted to her, but she was married. We were basically work husband and wife. Even though I figured nothing was going to happen, I sometimes still wondered if something MIGHT happen. Needless to say, dont put her through that dilemma of second guessing your intention. If you do it, keep it harmless, dont overstep any boundaries which is what happened to me.

I am also a flirty person by nature. I flirt with men and women, it makes them feel good and I personally see no harm in it.

No, because invariably they take it seriously ("She wants me!") and I just can't be bothered with it.

No, but most assume that I am because I am talkative and playful by nature. When I flirt, I make damn sure the guy knows I'm interested. There is no room for interpretation---everything is as it seems.

How do you "make damn sure the guy knows"? That sounds ambigeous to me.

At least you understand how being flirty can be misinterpreted when you don't already have some sort of relationship with person.

I mean no I do not flirt with a guy whom I have no romatic interest in, although some guys misinterpret my friendliness for flirting.

For example, when I like a guy (in a romantic interest kind of way) I let him know off top typically in a very direct flirtatious way that can have somewhat of a classy yet feminine sexual flair to it. I'm quite suggestive of what I would love to have him do to me and with me in a very witty and smiley way. Also, I make it clear by my actions that although, I enjoy others in the crowd, I only have eyes for that one guy that I am into.

On the other hand, for guys that I am not interested in (but enjoy company wise), I typically laugh a lot with them and am a natural "toucher" so I tend to hit shoulders or touch arms when I talk. Also I am quick to past genuine compliments where compliments are due. This is I can not help, nor do I try to change my actions because it would take a large part of who I am away from me. But I am aware that this does typically confuse guys that I am not interested in in a romantic way.
