Funny readng this thread, cause I got the same situation with this girl at work. |
NEVER EVER EVER EVER hit on a girl at work. Several of my friends learned the hard way. Avoid at all costs. |

But I'm not hitting on her.
Besides, many relationship begin when couples meet at work. I'll take my parents for example. |

Depends how you look at it...
if you keep professional, put your personal feelings for person X on the side and focus on your work. Later on the day, you call her up on a date and do all the things you wanna do.
if you can't focus on work while the person you are dating is in the same building, then no, dating people at work is not good for you or your career.
From my experience, "dating/hitting on ppl" @ work = casual sex
but in the relatedness of this thread, I like when gals become the victims of their own flirting games sometimes. |

| I couldn't tell the difference if my life depended on it... I don't pay enough attention...thankfully friends will notice for me. On the other hand, I've been told that I'm a big flirt. :clown: I do it subconsciously I swear! |

yeah. me too.
I really am one of those socially deficient people who need to be hit with a jackhammer to get a clue what is going on.
Generally because I'm rather open and blunt, I wish people would just come up and straight up say what they want to me too. Makes life so much easier.
(All hail dorks and geeks!) |

Now that brings up a good point. SO MANY TIMES, after speaking with a girl, a friend says "she was so flirting with you", and I was totally clueless. |
Go read Desmond Morris' "The Naked Ape" - it's old (1967) but well worth your time. :) |

Girls can tell when girls are flirting and giving signs, and guys can tell when other guys are hitting on her, but not the other way around! |
if you need help picking up the hints for you AJ, just let me know ;) |

at my club, i was watching a certain female who was dancing around the subwoofer. she was sitting on it then got some guys attention, she then did a lean back with her legs spread wide open revealing her crotch (wearing a summer dress thing). the male thought this was an invitation and went for the kill. she then got off and walked away... me watching this was like wtf kind of action is that. the dude thought the same thing and got in a fight with another dude and then proceeded to have a 9 dude brawl. that was a fun one.
in reply to Aj, a good documentary of 'flirting' can be seen in my facebook album The Biz Report. as for being friendly, generally in my experience, they arent as loud or outgoing. more personal, closer. like you can go find a corner in the bar and chat with each other..
i dunno... im just talking out of my ass. tt im still a virgin |

So I have a problem... I don't know when a girl is either flirting or just being friendly. I believe I have missed out on several opportunities because I thought she was just being friendly, AND I've mistaken being friendly for flirting, and got my heart broken several times.
What is it am I supposed to look for? How do I tell the difference? In a club... is it PLUR or is it genuine interest? On the street, in a mall, other events... what is it? |
Just go for it, if she s around once after (meaning some stupid mind games ) ... her, not worth it. It's too childish to be playing the cat and mouse games. |

If you're not sure, it's usually flirting. But there's "flirting" and then there's flirting, if you know what I mean.
Only way to find out for sure is to whip it out.
Actually, I'm surprised to see you starting a thread like this, I kind of had you figured for the just-whip-it-out type. |

this is one of lifes most mysterious sitations
i've come to the conclusion that attention, touching and smiling are key points in determining if they are interested in you or not
also, if you have to think twice about if they are flirting with you or not, you can pretty much guarantee they are since most guys dont really pay attention to it in the first place and let it slide |
