How do you interpret wink?

[vantagold]

I don't know if it's just friendly or if we can see it as flirting especially if the person winking doesn't say anything.

I think the person is kind of a dork. :-D It might be in a cute sort of way if they are kind of goofball types with a big sense of humor. But I think they're dorks.

[SuperManiac]

Sometimes maybe a little bit scary, like, "Let's just keep it between you and us... *wink*" Dunno. I don't like it. I try to imagine what sort of person thinks winking is a charming way to communicate, and I don't get a nice impression. :-D The most flattering one I think is a dork who watched too many TV shows or something.

It could go both ways such as politeness or flirty.

The only way to know is to see what is the conversation about.

[vantagold]

As an example: I was in a fast food with a friend and a male employee winked at me after I took my order. Is it weird or am I too innocent?

[chriss]

I honestly believe it was out of politeness because I have seeing employees do this to people.

It depends on how they treat you over all. Sometimes it just means a mild sign of flirting, but nothing serious.

Maybe they just got something in their eye?

It depends on the vibe I'm getting from them.
