I was thinking this earlier because of something that happened at work. I've been told I am just as bad in real life as online and today I admitted it.

I was talking to a customer at my business today and noticed she had some huge design scrolls with her. We started talking about her going to school for fashion and she asked if I wanted to see. Not really wanting her to struggle opening them up, I without missing a beat say "If you put half as much thought into your designs as you do in your appearance, I'm sure they look great" Thank god she giggled because the moment I said it, I realized what I did.

So how about everyone else? It's one thing here where we all don't actually meet and can just sit back and goof off But on the streets, are you a real flirt or are you a closet flirt?

I'm a closet flirt, lol. I have to get to know a person just a tad before I really flirt with them....and then only if they react well to the first few innuendoes. If they don't, I clam up and stop flirting with that person. If they do, and it's received well....then look out!

I am a huge flirt in person also. If that person starts flirting back, then there is nothing that is going to hold me back.

Nah...a combination of being really shy and trying to maintain my professionalism means that I never flirt overtly. I am pretty good at the subtle flirt though...a nice smile or a glance seems to be less offensive than "hey, great boobs..."...lol

I know I'm flirtatious in real life, but for the most part I try to keep it as discreet as possible because I know that the simplest things can be misconstrued. On here I can really cut loose and say some things I would never, ever actually say (although I definitely think them!).

‘Cornelius’ - a play on my actual name - is the word I've been labelled with by some of the friends who have observed my attempts to flirt. Don’t know what possesses me to be so twee - I guess banal clichés at least fill the gaps in silence...while detracting from the strange expressions, which may or may not be travelling across my face.

I work and socialise more with women, but have learned, sans the reports, to put flirting aside…lest a woman bizarrely initiates it herself, of course! It would have to be in-your-face obvious though, and timed appropriately, otherwise my conversation might slip away to those well-known, seductive topics of work, cars, cats, Russian proverbs, Keira Knightley, Sudoku...

I do better to laugh, carefully tease, cajole, debate or talk genuinely with a woman, than is the calamity of the Cornelius flirting with them. In time, a fully-grown connection may come along, where I can take a moment to joke and fool about, say my stupid clichés, whatever, and it doesn’t seem fake, desperate or ingratiating. That’s just how I come across, many people here flirt naturally, with impressive flair.

I'm not much of a flirt, here or real life. I'm quite shy and very much of a cluts. Usuall all attemps result in me making a fool of myself.

I've also been described as a "pissy face", which meant for the person that granted me such a title that i looked unapproachable. Personally, could explain why i rarely have guys actually come up to talk to me. And I used to think it was because i was not cute enough lmao

Sincerely, i've been told i was a flirt in here, but i'm usually totally unaware of it, part of my charm maybe? lol

I admit I'm a big flirt. Here and in the real world. There are a lot men who are so darn sexy and desirable. Whether married or not, they need to know they are attractive and very much desired. So I flirt with them. I'm not over the top and rude, if anything I try to stroke their . . . .ego (pun intended). Lol. I'm definitely not shy, not with how I feel or what I want. Very open and honest about everything.

I am definitely not much of a flirt in real life unless I know you well. Of course I don't think I'm much of a flirt on here either except for the fact that I do enjoy having fun, making others smile and being honest. Is that flirting or just nice ?

Moongirl, I feel pretty much the same. Marriage took a lot out of my steady flirting activities (mainly online) but I loved to flirt any chance I got. I started to be that way again although my shyness sometimes steps in the way. Sometimes it is that shyness though that gets other ladies to flirt with me. :)

I have always been a flirt in real life, I think why I like being here so much. I flirt with anything and everything. Not sure why, just always have. May go back to my early adulthood working in restaurants. I worked with women of ages ranging from 18 - 40, and I flirted with all of them, maybe just for something to break the boredom and repetition of the work. So I suppose I have about 26 years experience in flirting. I will look for your "Help Wanted" sign and and see if I am the most qualified for the job.

I'm an extrovert and it gives me a kick to get a flirty thing going with the cuty at the check out counter at the Ace hardware store :)

I also love to meet eyes in cars, that's always fun. I have favorite customers that are woman that I like to crack up on the phone :)

So yes I'm a big flirt for real.

Red face I said I live there. He proceeded to tell me some jokes...as I sat like 6 feet behind him blushing like hell....Yeah I'm a great flirt, I couldn't wait to get my red face off the bus.

As I mentioned before, marriage repressed my flirting.. but it's been slightly awakened over the last little while. I accidentally flirted at the grocery store today. A guy passed by me and I sort of smiled and then I was thinking in my head "he was cute" and then i turned the corner and he was there again, and I sort of laughed out loud like a goof. I guess that is not really flirting is it.. well, okay.. at least i am trying......

I'm pretty much the same way. I can be pretty shy when it comes to flirting in person. I'm also not observant when it comes to women flirting with me. It takes a really big flashing sign from her saying, "Yo! I'm flirting with you!"

But, Torin...if I ever see you in public...I'll do my best to make you blush :)

I do have to get to know a lady a bit before flirting overtly, usually. In a social setting, after a glass or two of good Pinot Noir, well... I'm loosened up! I will compliment a lady on a nice haircut or good looks - I don't consider that flirting. Flirting is saying or acting in a way that says I'm interested in taking this a step further, whether it's possible, likely or not! For instance, a compliment is "Nice haircut!" A followup flirt would be "I like the way it shows off your neckline just behind your ears." A more overt flirt would be to gently brush her hair with my hand as I say that and letting my fingers touch her skin on her neck.

I've never actually gone that far with anyone other than my wife ... but I'd like to!
