Why is flirting so common?

It's fun and a way to gauge a guy's response. There are a few girls who are manipulative and just flirt so they can have someone to use, but that's not all of us just the bitches.

Girls say honey because of different reasons.in particular. if I was dating I would call him. but if I wasn't then its just something I call a guy. i have mainly guy friends and I call them honey and hun and babe and sweety and all this other stuff..but its not that I like them its just we r really close

I know that I flirt with pretty much anyone I feel comfortable with. It's just how I interact. Usually it's just friendly stuff - it will only get sexual overtones with someone I'm dating or one or two of my closest girl friends. These girls may be doing the same thing, and not realizing it or not realizing that it makes you uncomfortable. I know it'd be awkward, but telling them would probably help (if they really seem to just do it automatically). I know if I was making someone uncomfortable, I'd be horrified, and I'd want to know so I could watch myself a bit.

I understand what you mean it does get old and annoying with the honey and babe stuff . I agree with Loving Laughter the best way is to either ask them to stop and say that all they need to do is ask or you could just do the favor right away and they'll pick up that they don't need to try to flatter you or anything

I know what you mean when people call you honey. For me it's almost as if their talking down to me and it's very annoying. The best way to get them to stop is to just ask. But if you don't want to sound rude then you could try this. (usually) When a girl is about to ask a favor you already know what it is. So just go and do it so they don't have to ask and they'll eventually stop. I don't think you want to be everyones laundry man (meaning you do everything for everyone) So the best thing to do would just to ask them, Kindly.

I don't think many people realise when there flirting when you flirt it just has to come natural!and as for calling guys honey most girls I know call there girl and guy friends honey and babe etc..it doesn't have to mean there trying to get something!!

Ever watch Discovery Channel specials about courtship and mating? I hate to sound like a science nerd, but flirting is just a way for human beings to begin the courtship process. Some girls do use it to be manipulative, but it's just their way of being friendly sometimes.

Trust me you have the right approach to talking to girls. They like someone who can engage in conversation, and its a good place to start. Some ladies on here, might be able to give you different perspectives, but my naturally, flirting and inflections on ones voice are normal.

Be nice to a girl. Its actually called chivalrous. You want that... Cause I doubt you want somebody to walk all over you. If you wanna be more in control, do the reverse for him.
