I fall into this category, which is partly why I am so intrigued by this post. I am nearly blind to what @skincontact has observed. The descriptions are so well crafted, I feel like I'm seeing social interactions through the eyes of a mantis shrimp.
LOL! Hello Chris, Maj. Tamre' Colby here. I see you replied to my part time second in command and full time self anointed gypsy princess, Capt. Kara "Chaos" Rayas (Her callsign suits her.)
Be afraid, be very afraid. She likes to play with her prey.
I had a woman get mad at me one time because she was convinced I was flirting with her fiancé. No, I am just being nice just like I am with every other person I interact with!
You shouldn’t flirt with people you do not intend to pursue just to flirt. Why lead some on a meaningless chase for your own dopamine and self centered pleasure? Rhetorical. Since when as a society has teasing been acceptable? When did we become so infatuated with vanity and decadence? Maybe the same time around when we stopped holding people accountable for their actions? Rhetorical.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However opinions are not facts. Of course individuals who have dour feelings about a statement based on text book definition are the same individuals who have slithered and slipped away from those same text book definitions and consequently not always deliberate, have fallen into the rationale of fallacies. The language we use matters. Being specific is important. We have to use discernment when policing words. If, in fact you actually care about the truth. The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it. We can't continue to communicate effectively if everyone is just making up their own definitions.
Without definitions and terminology words will soon be empty and meaningless. Like giving solidarity to pure wind. And any word or meaning can and will be and mean anything.

Some of us don’t understand how to flirt… fun post.
LOL. this is me. I also cannot recognize flirting.
I so identify with not knowing how to flirt but having total joy in the world and having lots of people attracted to that in me!

for the record I have not been back in an Aritzia fitting room since
I came here from my email to read about flirting, and am reading a bunch of unrelated content. This feels like clickbait. Where is the flirting story?
Some people only flirt with people they don't have a chance with because they know they don't have a chance of having to move further.

Some people think I am flirting and I am just being nice 😁
I had a woman get mad at me one time because she was convinced I was flirting with her fiancé. No, I am just being nice just like I am with every other person I interact with!
feel you…
Some of us just flirt with the bros🫂
Best to learn how to love and respect rather than all that flirting nonsense.
#PromptCases
Some flirt.
Some filter.
Some file it away for ‘wait, why’.
I adore birdsong, can't imagine a world without it. Love how a moment can simply flow like that, step by step, in wonder & joy. Thank you
And do...
Very well written. I enjoyed this post in its entirely! You have done very good!

Pretty dour take on lighthearted interactions with others, in my view. There's a galactic difference between flirting and hitting on someone...
Outstanding!!! I enjoyed each post in many different ways!!
And some of us only flirt with people they know they’ll never get together with:)
If done correctly, it will increase your dopamine and make both of you feel better. It’s true.‼️
I would be super thrilled to be featured in a post like this in the future.
