d1410 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Does anyone think that flirting can be friendly and not always sexual? I think a guy friend of mine went overboard in flirting with me but he has no interest in me sexually. Was this flirting simply to get attention from me and boost his ego? any thoughts would be appreciated. d1410 Link to post Share on other sites
sevenof9 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 In answer to your question about flirting... some guys are very friendly and like to talk and be noticed and seen by everyone as friendly, outgoing, and "flirtatious," because it makes them look macho-it's part of being a guy, you know, flirt with the girls, give them a little hug here and there, because that's just what guys can do. And some girls allow that to happen. I have had many guy friends before who were strictly that: friends, and nothing more. Whenever they made a somewhat sexual snide comment to me, it was always jokingly, and it always made them laugh, because I allowed them to flirt and be funny and say gross things too like I was "one of the guys"-so to a guy, if you project yourself as being friendly and open, and willing to listen to weird jokes, and other stuff, some guys just automatically open up and flirt. This guy sounds like he's interested in you as a friend, he obviously feels comfortable enough to even flirt with you, which means you might have given him some sort of motive to flirt with you- he might have thought: "Well, we're friends, and she's easy to talk to, smiles at me, and all that, so I'll just tease her!" It's a childish thing. Some guys flirt so much it gets them into trouble with girlfriends/wives, etc. You can't just tell a guy: Stop flirting, if he's the outgoing talkative type. But if it's your boyfriend, and you're in a committed relationship, you might want to tell him it's not cool to do that in front of you. Link to post Share on other sites
