Question

Are you able to tell the difference between someone just complimenting you and when they are flirting with you?

katiesmuff · Answer

Yes I think I was pretty good about picking up the right vibe

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Yeah. I mean, it’s not that difficult, if you know the other person for a while. 🤔

DJB72 · Answer

I'm 51 and generally I assume I'm not being flirted with. Neon flashing lights clearly stating intent would help...

loveslongnails · Answer

That's easy - just ask yourself "what's in it for them" by the compliment? If it's nothing, it's just a compliment.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Nope, absolutely not😂 And not just compliments. I think any girl who asks me a simple question is flirting😂

Paul09 · Answer

Usually taken women compliment me , so I know they ain't flirting with me. Other than that, I'd think they are just being nice, maybe, I'm not sure.

Tomisworthless · Answer

Im a guy and ugly too. Compliments are never received they might say you're a good worker or nice sweater or car but nothing about me as a person. And flirting it never happens

NunyaBizmiss · Answer

Someone paying u a compliment won't show signs of nervousness (like blushing, stuttering or being shy). Those with confidence will give other, less obvious, hints (like winking, smirking, looking u up and down or staring at ur lips as u talk).

Fireguy17 · Answer

Not too often, I'm kind of clueless that way.

82lynx · Answer

Nyet. Not enough data to go on. Just complimenting is a safe assumption.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Most women that flirt with me are pretty blunt about it, so yes.

grimrealitynadia · Answer

Basic guidelines: - Location. - Surrounding and current situation.  - That someone's body language and tone of communication. - Most important thing yo can call it as VIBES/AURA/INSTINCTS/CALLING's...

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

Not a damn bit, I can't tell the difference, it all seems like they are just being nice to me

Mangospacho · Answer

You can tell if you have a polygraph test kit on hand - and she agrees to the polygraph test.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I assume she is just being polite. I have zero fear in approaching, but for some reason I have a huge blind spot when she is approaching me.

Anonymous · Answer

It's hard to tell, and I feel like you can get "safe compliments" from people that like you like that, but don't want to let on that you like you too much, and someone who's isn't necessarily attracted to you, can occasionally flirt.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

Yes actually it’s super easy, barley an inconvenience.

syncheart · Answer

If you can figure this out, please let me know!!!

litty736 · Answer

No. I don't care for either honestly. In both cases, people focus on the exterior than the soul anyways.

OddBeMe · Answer

No but since I’m married it’s taken the weight off which makes me more attractive.  Uhg physics.

Guanfei · Answer

Yes. Because no one is flirting with me. Therefore it will always be a compliment, rarely a genuine one.

SunnyRS · Answer

No I am very bad at it.  I am not good with reading between the lines so I always ask people to tell me straight what they mean.

Readyandwaiting · Answer

Contrast of body type and personality by social circle makes a difference with loaded optical content versus cued metaphor as a group towards a joint desired outcome

missCivi · Answer

i’m ok at telling when it’s flirting or not but what i struggle with is distinguishing “let’s be fuckbuddies” flirting from “i want a dating/romantic relationship” flirting.

lirikri4 · Answer

No. Not like it matters anyways. If women engage in either of those things it means they're sent by the US government trying to lure me into something nasty. Bye.

Peperoni0338 · Answer

My guy friend once told me that my headband matched my dress and that it looked really good on me. I think he was just trying to be nice? What do you guys think?

Evan64 · Answer

AFAIK nobody has ever flirted with me so I iust assume it's all compliments

zagor · Answer

No. And I know some women try not to be too friendly lest men think it is a come-on.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Men almost never get compliments so we assume it's an effort to manipulate us.

Anonymous · Answer

I haven't got a clue, I don't know how to flirt now how to tell if someone is flirting. And I don't believe compliments to be frank. I assume they are just being kind.

more_than_a_guy · Answer

I still can't manage to distinguish between the two.

krin_m · Answer

Of course! Baesd on context and their body language you can easily figure it out!

FenixG45 · Answer

I believe I can, because I think hard before I compliment someone.

Anonymous · Answer

I always assume someone is just complimenting me. Or just playing games.

Snoopycomehome45 · Answer

I have to be almost smacked in the face if a woman likes me

whistlingwh0res · Answer

tbk83 · Answer
