    So did you get a great deal on the couch? ;-) I agree, flirting can make you feel like a million bucks!

    Kindness can be mistaken for flirting and an unusually imaginative person(like me?) will probably read something more than what is only genuine empathy.

    My opinion, the second girl also wanted to flirt a little.... Come on you have to spread the wealth... Funny story.. But an old one, not sure how I came across it...

    I love to flirt and my wife enjoys it too. when we go out we both flirt with the waitress or she will flirt with the waiter. This has helped us get a little extra good service. Sometimes people need to be complimented on their looks or how well they are doing their job. Not that you want to bed them down just lift them up for awhile. And i makes us feel good to knowing that they were receptive.

    Agree with you, flirting strengthens your self-confidence and brightens your mood, both if you do it or receive.

    I love to flirt.... and have recently begun to flirt with people for the sake of flirting and it is fun!....BUT....I do like there to be an end result...otherwise I feel...it is wasted...part of the fun of flirting is the anticipation...of what is to come ..So I can see it both ways .....just my thoughts! :)

    Being 69 plus and thinking about flirting I think of a line for the movie about Navy Seals.

    "At some point you are no longer considered dangerous." :-)



    I am amazed and apprecitive of every little kindness I receive. If it's someone I'm dealing with for 45 seconds to three minutes at a counter, my flirtatios remark is based on hating to leave someone who is warm and caring. It's "I have no excuss to talk to you any further, so I guess I better move on." :-)

    Glad to see that others like to give compliments........ I have been holding back cause everyone seems so uptight and I was worried that I might offend someone.

    I see women all the time that I would just like to say you have beautiful hair, a great smile or some such non-sense but I usually hold back.

    I did tell a woman in the grocery line line the other day she had pretty hair and it seemed to please her. We struck up an interesting conversation and it felt good.

    Maybe I'll have to go for it more............

    I'm friendly, but for some reason feel so uncomfortable with flirting.....@ work many of the men like to flirt which i appeased a bit, but secretly hate it. I guess I'm afraid they maybe serious but I also don't want to bruise anyone's ego.

    I'm not sure if this falls under the 'flirting' category, but have any of you ever felt that somebody of the opposite sex you met is just gorgeous or elegant, or wonderful in some other way, and you're just bursting to tell them, because they look like they need an ego boost, but you end up holding back because there's no way to signal that you're not coming onto them or being creepy?

    Wish there was some easy way to do the innocent complement.

      I do this by phrasing the compliment in a slightly complicated way, and then walking off, so that by the time they've worked out what I just said, I'm out of range. Kind of like an ego-boost drive-by!

      a delayed-fuse compliment - I like it!

    I like this...because it is so true. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra compliment, just a tad bit of flirtatiousness...and that can turn someone's day around.

    I feel these OTHER people are always responsible for making LIFE difficult, but one must always listen to own heart and judgement.

    I think it's more powerful than a compliment. Compliments are limited to the superficial or immediate. But flirting makes the person feel desirable and attractive. I flirted with my wife perfusely back in freshman english class. That made enough of an impact that after 23 years, that girl came looking for me. We're now married for almost 8 years.

      It took her previous millionaire husband to decide he wanted to pursue his affair with a coworker, and an ensuing boyfriend, whom she had dated once before, that started cheating on her, to realize maybe I was the best catch after all. Thank God for 20 year reunions.

    Flirting can be an icebreaker and gets you special treatment. Recently, I needed to make copies of a legal document and I was no where near facilities which I would normally use. So I went to Staples, and a lovely gay woman took my order. I had never done this, so I had no idea how it worked. She gave me the copies and said thank you. I said to the young lady, " Surely there is a charge even though I am pretty". She blushed, I smiled and paid $1.10. What I found out later from my mother, who scolded me, that she should have charged $10.10 for the copies.



    Yes to flirting!! I made her day and I got a discount

    Flirting is a lot of fun, and although it doesn't always have to be about sex, there is definately an attraction to it. I find it is the eye contact and the chemistry that makes the difference between flirting and just being nice.

      I subscribe to the same thinking as you Blue. I don't see it as a sexual thing, nor as a way to "get what I want". I think a lot of people do use it to get their intended result however and that is disappointing because it's fake. Appreciate the comment.

    Good for you. That's great! One of the best benefits, I think, of getting a little older, is that you can talk with people and compliment them without making them concerned about your intentions. I have no reason to "come on to" younger women, or any woman, but neither am I afraid to smile and make nice comments. Yes it can make someone's day. (and no it doesn't mean being a dirty old man)

    I have found the same thing happening to me recently. Since I have been consiously making an effort to treat people better I notice how they seem to stand taller, smile more, and treat you better. I like it when I have that affect on people. It feels like I have just made my part of the world a better place. And when I do this, as with you, there is nothing sexual intended at all.

      Amen! It makes me feel so good when I see that stressed out over worked face turn into a smile, and sometimes even hear those words " you know you just made my day". What more of a reward is there than that?
