Has someone even mistaken your friendliness for flirting?

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

It happened to me a couple of times. I should be watchful of whom I smile to and hug!

[mobiusforniner]

I think a man who can carry himself and be confident can be confused for flirting. I am married but I've had women at work give me their phone numbers and call me asking to go out sometime. Its funny. And when they ask for my number I give them my wifes number. Lol. One actually called and my wife liked talking with her

[pervertedjester]

Lately I keep to myself and rarely talk to younger women/men because my sarcasm "misleads" some of the college kids. I don't make a joke to flirt like a 20 something year old, I make a joke because work bores the fuck out of me and I need to laugh.

[SaoirseS]

Yes, frequently. I’m very sociable and conversational. I truly like people. Being kind and friendly sometimes gets misinterpreted as flirting. Tbh though, I don’t know that there’s a clear line where friendly stops and flirty starts.

[hopegirly]

It happened once, I told him I could not date him and he took his time to understand the situation, and then everything is normal again between us now, he is very close to me but we know we will be friends and never date.

[InferiorElegy]

Yes and even though I work with her I don't interact with her at all. Especially since it happened long after I had decided to never try dating or anything associated with ever again and that includes flirting which I've never known how to do. But when someone confronts you for doing something that you're not doing and they say they don't like it, it's best to distance yourself from them as to not have misunderstandings like that again.

[Explorer91]

Some people never experienced people being kind to them for no reason. That’s why they confuse it for flirting or you wanting them, or for some other agenda.

[HiveBee]

I have been accused of flirting lol. In a fun way not a bad way.

They say any time i talk to a girl i start flirting. Im just being friendly is all.

[Kiss_Me]

All the time... Almost everyday.

I try to be fund and charming at all times. Not only is it fun and interesting, it allows me to practices until someone comes along with whom I choose to flirt.

[ArztSchlachthof]

Yeah, it escalated so quickly she couldn't get over the rejection when it came. She was already so obsessed, it was unbearable for me and had to sever ties with her.

[Slartybartfast]

Used to happen to me all the time as I'm friendly and outgoing.

I've been accused of flirting more often than I've ever flirted.

Now I just avoid women.

[AdithyaR]

The opposite of the opposite happens to me often.
I've mistaken people flirting with me for friendliness. I feel very presumptuous to assume someone likes me so I just rule out everything as friendliness unless someone says it directly.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah I flirt most of the time and without thinking about it, the other person has reacted to it but not flirted back and just assumed I was available,

[Dazed0N0Confused]

As a bartender, this is confused very VERY often. If i wanted to fuck them, they'd know.

[Medhat-M]

Yeah everytime I talk to a female Stranger they start smiling and blushing lol... I normally give attention to the person I'm talking with out of respect and sometimes that helps them think so

[Medhat-M]

...*to

[midnightmoon05]

Yes. It caused my marriage. I learned my lesson to not be too friendly with man.

[MotorcycleMan]

Yes, it happens. I try to be careful about it, but there will probably always be misunderstandings.

[Seinna]

Yes... crazy thing is it happened when I was 16 years old and he was definitely 25+

[Blackcupcake]

Yess but I’m not touchy with people, just friendly and playful with my words.

[Anonymous]

All the time. We can't be friendly or just smile at someone, because they will start thinking we are interested in dating.

[Marhaban-1]

Yes this girl in my class I can't get her to leave me alone and she is the most god awful deeply unattractive person you have ever seen

[mobiusforniner]

Dude I thought that about this freckly red head when i was in junior high. Was so embarassed about her flirting with me. 5 years later she was so gorgeous she was hired for a modelling firm. So... yeah... i say be kind and get to know her. If anything, maybe shell tell he friends about how awesome you are

[Marhaban-1]

@mobiusforniner that's true

[TheBigGuy9]

I have to be extra careful. I think because of my size that I have to make it a point to be extra soft to not come off that way.

[Anonymous]

Always, maybe it is also my fault coz im a very touchy person and I am too friendly so sometimes they mistaken it for an emotional feelings 😬

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

I avoid being friendly very specifically, so it is a flirt or no interaction

[bodukem1990]

So many times that I have just accepted that every girl I talk to is going to assume I'm flirting even if I'm not.

[Anonymous]

Often. And i can see many girls here are like that. Reading their questions asking if a guy is in love with them just because guys look at them!

[karaspara]

You summed it up perfectly with your E card

[Anonymous]

If you are rich, married and a politician hoes will flock cuz they want a piece of that 😌

[msc545]

[Smashingdoozy]
