Horribly. I don't even try to anymore, lol. I've even been told I'm terrible at deciphering when someone's flirting with me!
It doesn't help I was raised in an area where people are naturally polite, friendly, and reach out to you, so if you're not careful it's hard to tell if they're flirting or friendly- hence why I assume everyone is just friendly until proven otherwise.
That's why I tell people: if you like or are interested in me: DO NOT FLIRT. Just tell me. Otherwise, I'm going to instantly assume you're friendly or nice.

There was once when I was an intern, 3 girls at a terrace of a bar. They were pretty and I kmew I wouldn't last longer than.5 minutes without them asking me to leave. I lasted 45 minutes. Heard them laugh and smile.
I started of with guessing contest. I made it easy for them to guess what I was becoming. My internship was to do with working for children and they guessed a teacher. Then it was my turn to guess. They all had different hair colors so I said the one with the black hair has to be a contract killer, a murder who works for the government.
It wasn't exactly flirting but it broke the ice.
Nope not at all.
it’s sort of at my core and you learn it young.
also a lot of people have odd ideas on flirting lol.
it can be non sexual, non romantic and just having a laugh, equally it can get very dirty n dark.
Jaws music is quite close lol
I find that most good men don't know how to do it or simply don't want to. It's such a shame. It's why women are miserable and go to "bad boys" because they do know how to flirt. I think I flirt all the time.

Actually, no. It's like riding a bike, you can get rusty but you never forget all the moves
Not If I really want to flirt with someone
Not sure. I am naturally social. Unfortunately some men find it flirtatious when it is not. I have a rare personality for a woman. I would say I behave more like one of the guys. I’m blunt and straight forward. I joke around and speak the truth. For some reason guys think it’s flirting and women either hate me or think “I’m just wonderful and funny”. I’m just me. So if I have a problem than someone better think of a cure pretty darn quick.
Holy shit, I suck at flirting. Whenever it came down to doing it with a woman I liked my inner core was pretty much this. 👇
Not in the slightest. I actually really enjoy it as long as the person I'm flirting with knows it is just in fun.
Yes. The problem is I am not sure what’s going on in the girl’s head. This leads to me avoiding taking risks by keeping the conversation friendly/non-threatening. But that can also make the girl think I am looking just to be “friends”.
No straight guy approaches a woman (in dating range) and engages in convo just to be friends.Sometimes yea, which has a lot to do with a lot of nonsense values I was brainwashed with growing up that make me almost nervous to make moves sometimes, for fear of being being an offensive male. Not always though, and it's been improving for me with a lot of thought about it and challenging the ideas I was taught to come to a more balanced and reasonable view of things. It goes hand in hand with anxiety for me a lot of the time, really.
I never flirted. It's not needed. It might be a fun game, but it's not needed. It's only comfortable when both people know how to flirt, which is not usally the case.
I laugh and joke with everyone I get along with, I’m more serious with people I like.
Quite the opposite. My friendliness, playfulness, manners, mannerisms & voice often mislead others to think I'm flirting with them.
I have resting bitch face so that already puts me in the negative!
The only way I can redeem myself is if you push on through...No because someone might get hurt.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/wEw9bddnJkgI can only do long haul flirting. But I do that pretty well and now I’m married with a beautiful son. But I’ll tell you what guys love: back scratches, head scratches, the works. That’s physical flirting that shows that you like and value what you see. Really intimate in a non threatening or even non sexual way.
Yeah I never really mastered the art of it, sometimes I get annoyed when people call it a skill set or learnable skill, I also like to think it's far more important for men to know how to flirt than it is for women
Yes and no.
I would flirt, and I personally have very little issue with flirting… but I’m pretty rusty at it.
I either become really formal if I’m attracted to a woman, and I will not flirt… like if it’s a waitress or something, I will be polite, but won’t be super chatty.
but once in a while, I probably do it subconsciously, and it’s probably pretty awkward....
I'd say I have the opposite problem, I struggle NOT to flirt. It is so natural without even thinking about it and it can make my man feel jealous sometimes, so I have to try not to do it.
A long time ago yes. Then my older brother taught me to open up, and enjoyed it actually! Be yourself and be natural and it’s fun.
I’m off market though so not much flirting except for in-house, lolIf the sparks are there, it's not a struggle to flirt. If it's not, then you know where you stand.
I seriously never even realize someone is flirting with me until either them or snother person blatantly points it out.
