Girls, Why would a single in her 40s flirt with a male friend when he responds?

[Anonymous]

Why would a woman flirt and say she's never been in a healthy relationship with a male friend, then start getting really flirty, go silent in the phone conversation then come back later being grouchy and kind of cocky or rude?

Probably has other things going on in her life that you don’t know about. You are trying to make it personal. Reality, it probably isn’t.
