So I gave him a few suggestions. He then proceed to walk with us and tell me all about himself, where he was from, how he's new to the area, how it was a pretty day, etc, etc, etc. I chit chatted with him for a while and eventually we parted ways at the metro station.

She insists he was flirting/hitting on me. From my perspective, he was just being polite and was new to the area and making friendly conversation. Nothing about what he said had the least bit romantic hint or tease to it at all.

See, this kind of thing (random men talking to me) happens all the time. Especially in the elevator at my office building. But it's just small talk like above and I don't think of it as flirting, but I think some people do. I just figure I tend to smile and say hello to everyone and it breaks the ice for people to be friendly back... and it's nothing more than that. So I don't know.
It's flirting, but it's mild flirting. It could be just being friendly and talkative. It depends if he's like that with everyone.

If a guy just chats up almost everyone, then maybe it wasn't flirting. If it's just you, and/or other attractive women, then maybe he was.

What did they say to you? Can someone flirt without using words?
My ex-girlfriend and it was a few months ago. She smiled at me and sat next to me and asked me if I was doing anything later on. A random guy told me she's flirting with you lol.

An advertising executive has been openly flirting with me for the last 2 months, but she is only trying to get a paycheck I would assume.

On Monday a waitress at a restaurant I frequent was hitting on me hard enough that the guys I was eating with noticed it, she came up behind me and gave me a shoulder message and asked me why all the great guys like me are married.

I ran into a couple of ladies I went to high school with at an event Saturday night, they happened to be placed at the same table I was placed with my wife. The entire dinner they ignored my wife, and had a long conversation about how the nice quiet guys always seem to mature and be so good looking a few years later, one even asked me why I never asked her out in high school, and was making both myself and her husband uncomfortable with how hard she was staring at me and the way she kept trying to accidentally touch me.

Now some of it is I think many women know that I love my wife and refuse to cheat so I am safe, others I think are pretty serious but who really knows since I do not even bother to try to go further.
Jesus... somehow I imagine guys who are single don't get hit on like this.

several years ago. Sorry I don't count internet or married women, it's easy to mask real feelings over the internet.

I think in my case, it was a subconscious flirt.
Went into an arts and crafts shop. A woman waited on me. I was asking questions about paint, she was constantly running her hand through her hair, brushing it back one side, then the other, while she was speaking with me. There was a small boy there, about 6 years old (her son, I suppose), watching.

Actually I sold the fancy pickup a few months ago, my kids are allergic to dogs, and I am one of the few that refuses to cycle any more than riding around the neighborhood with the kids.

If I got hit on this much when I was single I would probably not have been married as she was already pretty worried about some of the offers I used to get back then, but as I said half of it is that women figure since I am married and stay loyal to my wife than I am safe.

Nope, I am 6'5" but other than that I am pretty average, overweight, drive an old beater car. I grew up around women some of which were very attractive so I do not get stupid around women very often, plus I do own my own business, and I do not even bother to try to hit on women which I am told all add considerably to my appeal.

I honestly can't remember. It's been quite a long time.

i have no idea if someone's flirting with me. Im totally oblivious to it. They were a few women who were looking at me, and when i looked at them back, they immediately broke eye contact. I caught them a couple of times. I was actually looking decent and well groomed so I don't think they were criticizing my appearance.
