How do guys react when a woman they don’t like flirts with them? Would you still be friendly or would you straight up tell them to stop?

[KezHarris]

He smiles and seems comfortable about me flirting with him… he doesn’t look uncomfortable or anything… but he also doesn’t make any moves?

If I don’t fancy her I tell her to stop

I like it if ANY woman flirts with me

Other (explain)

Everyone, READ the context before judging the guy

If he smiles and is comfortable about your flirting he probably likes you, but he's shy.

If you're holding back at the back of the room he won't be sure of your intentions either, and no guy wants to give their heart to someone they don't know will accept it. I am the guy in this situation myself; and her flirting with me has made me feel very attracted to her, but I'm just not sure how to land the approach - especially in the setting we meet.

Don't assume he doesn't like you. Guys like me are blind to subtlety and slow to acknowledge interest, because we've been taught to be less presumptive in this area. Has he smiled at you, lingered in your presence, glances at you, etc? If Yes, then
He Likes You. You just need to help him express his feelings.

@kezharris Have you spoken to him before? If not, he may not know if you consent to being approached; especially at a gym. I'd recon if he chooses to be with you routinely, despite opportunities not to, and acknowledges your efforts with smiles and mirroring, he is secretly into you but too nervous to know what to do or say.

Why not force his hand by speaking to him and observe his response. You'd have nothing to lose!

as I said in my other response... I could just respond in the same manner, to match the playfulness if I do perceive it as that

but if I perceive it as a much more involved flirty situation and that she's actually interested, then I would handle it differently as I would not want her to lead her on, or mislead her...

I would definitely not be too rude to just tell her to stop though, there are much better ways... lol

Not like that. This is no different then most women. She likes the attention. But feels no responsibility to reciprocate.

It would be nice if everybody put their cards on the table. But let's be honest, people don't. So this is how you HAVE TO play a lot of situations with women. You know she's only doing for the interaction. The minute he responds in kind, she's gotten what she wants and she goes ice cold or she takes off. So you gotta leave her in a perpetual state of she-just-hasn't-done-enough-to-earn-your-attention.

It sounds like he already knows how this is going to end Kez that's all.

[KezHarris]

What do you mean he knows how this will end?

[Opinion Owner]

He knows there's no future between you two.

It's flattering. If a girl flirts with me I smile but I'd never act on it because I value my marriage. If she tried to go beyond flirting I'll shut it down. Hard.

It's an ego boost. Nothing more if he's married.

I went cold so she would not get any encouragement.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would most likely walk away

[Nice222]

I just smile and walk away.
