writes:Are these signs of flirting?1. Staring or gazing at you. 2. Complimenting a woman on how she looks such as "Wow, you are beautiful," "I've been watching you--I see you and you are such a feminine woman," "You are one of the few people who makes my day," "I hope to see you again,""You have such slender and beautiful fingers." "You are so sophisticated." 3. Hugging 4. Tells a woman "I will never forget you." Or "You are such a nice person." 5. Makes a point to speak to you or get your attention. 6. Tells you that he finds you attractive and he likes your personality. 7. Seems jealous when another man talks to you and will interrupt the conversation to get your attention. I ask this question because, a man that I know, did all of those things only to tell me that he wasn't flirting with me that he was just being "friendly." And that if he was flirting with me he would have been asking me out, buying me flowers, taking me out to dinner and calling me. He says that he wasn't doing any of those things so he wasn't flirting with me. Honestly, I just think he probably wanted some sort of ego boost as he is an older man, and he was just trying to have some "fun" which I think is jerk like behavior for a man at his maturity level. I'm a very friendly person, but I keep my friendliness from crossing the lines of flirting that way I don't give off the wrong impression to anyone. It was a tad bit disappointing when he said this to me because, I don't really believe he was being just friendly with me, but more so he he was attracted to me and/or liked me in some way. At any rate, now I just don't know how to respond to guys now---it's confusing to me, so I've just decided to just not to even respond to any of them regardless of how "nice" they appear to be. I'm just so sick and tired of what I think are games being played with people(s) minds and emotions. I no longer talk to this older guy anymore...I have no desire to be friends with or associate myself with someone who act in such a manner.

 WOW.
I'm 52. I'm married and I'm an outrageous flirt. Even my husband has said "you flirt like you breathe".
Flirting is not game playing.
Flirting is not buying flowers or asking a person out
Flirting is not complimenting me.
flirting is not taking me out to dinner that's dating
personally if a guy of any age did the things you say he did to you to me I'd be creeped out... he's over the top.
AND TOUCHING ME? NOT allowed unless you are invited or given permission.
