I tend to flirt a lot, ask anyone who knows me. & i play guys but i don't try to. Well lately I've cut off anything serious with any guy and told myself I'm just going to have strict fun. Well this is where everything goes wrong. I don't really do it respectfully.There's one guy I let grab my butt, but he's the only one. The other guys just stare and I give them the "tempting them" look and then just talk to guys dirty. I try to stop but it gets addicting, and i need more then one dose a day. Does this mean anything ? & how do i flirt without losing the fun but gaining respect for myself and make guys think I'm a great girl and not just a slut ? any advice ?

Well first off the flirting you do can be dangerous. You could come across the wrong guy, flirt with him and end up hurt due to him thinking you are a tease and wanting more. I am sorry to be so blunt but that kind of teasing can get you raped, killed, kidnapped or physically hurt. I realize these are extremes but it does happen.
The fact that you said, "i need more then one dose a day" tells me that you like the attention. It's an ego boost isn't it? As pretty as you know you are I still think you have some self esteem issues. You like the power of knowing you can seduce and entice guys. How do you stop this? Work on those issues. Realize that having that ability is great but it is not something that should be so compulsive. Flirting is fun, yes, but you have got to do it in a safe and tasteful way. Don't allow a guy to grab your booty (it does suggest you could be a harlot). Talking to a guy dirty? Reserve that for the one you're with. Instead wow them with being your amazing self nix the sexy talk, the enticing looks and the suggestive teasing.

Answerer Flirt with your wit. Joke around with them in a non-sexual manner. Dazzle them by being yourself. The way I flirt is by not changing who I am no matter who I am around. Know that you are smart and beautiful. You don't need their approval as long as you have your own. - 6 months ago

Just because you like talking dirty and flirting DOES NOT mean you are a slut. You are a girl with a normal sex drive, which so many girls your age try to hide and deny because they were taught all this nonsense about not being a proper "lady". Go ahead and have fun! But use your head, too - don't get pressured into situations that you do not feel comfortable in and don't lead guys on to make them think something physical is going to occur when that is not your intent. Let them know you're just having a good time and that's all. If you want it to go farther, then you can let them know that. Everyone flirts - so enjoy!

It's the difference between being fun (teasing with boundaries) and lying (teasing, tempting, and implying false intentions.)

I have the dirtiest sexual banter with all of my female friends, but I NEVER let it escalate to physical touch, and they ALWAYS know I'm kidding.

Perhaps you're feeling bad because you're acting a specific way only because of the attention it's giving you from guys... while also making you feel guilty.

The attention boys give in hopes of sexual satisfaction can feel very unsatisfying, hollow, and sometimes pretty gross.

Take a moment (this is what separates the girls from the women) to consider WHY you need this attention from these guys. Do you feel like you're friends get more attention than you, and using your sexuality evens the playing field? Perhaps you feel powerful being able to influence the emotions of young men so easily? Perhaps you simply feel un-pretty and getting lots of attention helps fill that hole? I have don't know.

Heal what you're missing inside, and you're outside behaviors will change automatically.

I wish you the breast of luck,

Well it seems like you just like the attention. If you aren't doing things with all these guys then there is no reason to have a bad image of yourself. They probably don't think you're a slut, just a tease. Its up to you if you want them to think that about you. If you don't like it, stop flirting.

well first of all don't let any guy grab if your not serious because if you let him he will absoltuly never never never respect you and he will think your a tramp so stop that right now.

first thing you should know is try not to flirt with guys your not interested in because this is just a let let down for guys and can be a heart breaker.

really just be yourself flirt but don't tie anything sexual in until you really know the guy .

do stuff like push him put your hand on his back or shoulder or tell him he'ss looking good it will install every bit of confidence in him and he will flirt with you better too.

try to think about what the guy is feeling as you flirt, if you make him feel like you want him, he's gonna go for you, whether you like him or not...and of course that's not good...so next time you're flirting, try toning it down a little, and remember what it does to us

Have a friend help you out and when she thinks ur going too far, make her pull you away and make sure she will pull you a way no matter how much you say no cause you need to learn how to walk before you can run.

Just tone it down with the sexual stuff as much as you can. You can flirt without everything being dirty.

Avalace You respect people based on profile pics? - 6 months ago
Answerer Listen buddy. The first thing you see in a person is their looks. based off that, you can tell Most of what type of person he/she is. Off the bat, lindbergndalready looks like she is sexually "open" posting pics of her in a bikini. Why? What is the reasoning behind women doing this? Posting their bodies, fit, pretty,etc bodies over the net is to gain approval of others, men especially. To SHOW that this is her. Because she has the good looks guys will seek HER approval. etc etc. Now if she was ugly - 6 months ago
Answerer Or whatver.. (not too be shallow or nothing) guys normally wouldn't want to seek HER approval. in facct it would be the opposite. We would normally shun away. normally is the key word here. You know its true, I know its true. Its human nature. Looks play a large role in all human societies(xept for blind ppl, etc lol) now, posting a pic like that already tells me a lot about her. She asks a question about self respect while flirting.. lets start with the self-respect. posting yourself halfnaked on the - 6 months ago
Answerer Internet isn't a good place to start. Unless she is fine with Anonymous User using her pics for "wack off material". Men can be disgusting sometimes, c'est la vie. So posting ur self half nude to 99% of the guys is like "hmm she's hot, id f*** her, twice. I should be nice and talk to her and somehow get her number/be her friend.........." that mentality is SO precise its not funny. Sure we may not think it consciously all the time. But subconsciously YES. Its so stupid, its definitely a YES. - 6 months ago
Answerer Thus, objectively, guys lose respect for her JUST LIKE THAT, even if we don't even think about respect. Its done. You lost some for her. How? Because she posted a pic of herself half naked as her profile picture. Secondly, you can tell what kind of person she is by the way she wrote down the question, go to her profile. You can tell a lot what kind of girl she is. I can tell you this so far, I lost respect for her, along with some other answerers here like Jaystone and the guy saying "nice body" - 6 months ago
Answerer And the dude saying that ur pic is wank off material.
He is masturbating to her picture, without even getting to know her, Whatsoever.
Just like any guy who watches porn would do when he watches PORN.I see big boobs and a tight ass (stereotype ye) and BAM I start jerking off.Men are disgusting I know.But that's who we are. Horny, arrogant, "insert adjective", assholes/jerks/pervs that have DICKS. We jack off like rabbits. so yeah, id say that many men have lost respect for her if you think about it - 6 months ago
Answerer As for the flirting, the girls have some good tips for that. - 6 months ago
Answerer As for the porn example.....

Do you respect women in the porn industry who sell their bodies for cash? or sluts for that matter. Sluts are always posting pics of their Half naked body on the internet just like the question asker.
I respect their choice, any individual can do anything they wanna do, but as a woman, to me, my values are higher than that, if a woman has to go that far, id lose respect for her AS a woman. But hey, I don't wanna be all high and mighty here. I'm done, fire away Avalace - 6 months ago

They're are ways to be sexy and ways to be slutty. You can be classy and not sassy. You should kno the difference between classy and trashy. I honestly don't think that anything anyone tells you can make a differerence in what you do daily. I think that you are going to have ask yourself if that's really what you want.
You can say that you want to be classy, but actually doing it is a completely different side of the pancake.
TO be honest I like to flirt, but I NEVER let any guy disrespect me in any way possible. If that's grabbing the butt, or the breasts, or talking dirty. YOu have to want to have respect for yourself so others can follow.
And it could mean that you are turing into something that you don't wana be.
YOu can be a great girl. But if you come on to guys and the flirty side of you is all they see, then that is all they are going to take you for.
So let them kno off hand that you are a good girl with just a wild side that you tend to let out NOT and I mean NOT so often so they won't get involved with you just to see said side.
Hope this helps.! Good luck girl.! Keep it CLASSY.!
GUYS LOVE AND APPRECIATE CLASSY SELF CONFIDENT AND RESPECTFUL GIRLS.!

Shlei3 is right, you need to be really careful. Try to be playful instead, ruffle his hair and make fun of him a little- obviously don't insult him. Play with your hair, smile and make eye contact with him. You'll be much happier knowing you can get a guy's attention without acting like that.
