So in the real world im constantly told how good i am at flirting...I dont think I am but I enjoy it...now I find it hard to flirt on here...so are people who flirt on here rubbish at it in the real world and vice versa?
I believe good flirting is about eye contact and quick reactions..which you can't do in text....anyway it doesn't matter so enjoy your pre hump day day x |

"I'm much better in real life. Flirting via text can be tough it's easier to come across the wrong way and get someone's back up "
Haha. I can relate to all of this.. especially when your jokes are mostly "on the line"  |

Being on the spectrum means prolonged contact is uncomfortable. Instead I just walk up to men in the street with a sign saying "FAF?" and hold up a box Durex Extended Pleasure condoms. |

I think men confuse flirting with annoying on here ..... messaging every time you see a female online or the hi good morning , hi beautiful ...or overdoing it with the compliments on pics . Imagine as a female every single male interested all doing the thing you call 'Flirting' on here....I don't think Fab is for flirting in the traditional sense , the approach needs to be different. |

I think that flirting on here or via message has to be much more overt and obvious. I tend to use emojis a lot when flirting online. I do find it easier to flirt on here or in chat groups, where as in person (especially in big groups) I suffer from social anxiety, get really quiet and then blush tonnes (at first anyway, once I am more comfortable then it's fine!)

Wouldn't have a clue if a girl was flirting with me.
Don't know signals or signs. Help ladies message me with what I need to look out for or how a women acts around me |

Terrible in real life until I am very comfortable with the person.
Much better via messaging/WhatsApp.
On this site? Not so much. Or at least not until our communication has moved offsite. |

"I can never flirt or recognise when someone is flirting with me  "
It's easy, it's when someone walks up to you with a sign saying "FAF?" and produces a box of Durex Extended Pleasure. |

Skyns are when you know they really mean it. Durex they're just casting a net, skyns they're down to fuck. |

I don't think I'm particularly bad at but I don't think I flirt either on here or in the fabled "real world"...
Anyway, I think some people are naturally flirtatious and make you feel good about yourself without sliming over you. Doesn't have to be a better at one kind of thing. |

I've always thought I'd be good in The Real World.
Then again, it was in the 90s when I was slimmer and generally had more enthusiasm. |

Good flirting can only happen in person as it relies on reading of body language and visual clues which you don't get via text messages.
I've lost count of how many times I've seen a message come in, rolled my eyes but still sent a polite reply. If I did that when face to face you'd get the message straight away that you miss via text. |

I can't tell when I'm flirting and there are studies that have shown that most people can't tell the difference between being friendly or flirting (unless overtly sexual and even that can be iffy)
So I'm gonna say I'm shit all round and I just try to be friendly

Disappointed, I thought you'd be the obscure cultural references sort. Oh well, pigtail pulling can be fun at a push. |

That's not flirting. That's imposing one's superior knowledge over another. |

I do enjoy a flirt in person, but i have missed a flirt in my direction if I'm busy or distracted.
Flirting on fab is pretty much at the level of a Carry On film...oooerrr Matron! |

I am shit flirting on here, I have a very dry, occasionally dark sense of humour. In text I think I must come across as a snarky weirdo half the time, the other half of the time I can be inclined to reread messages and come to the conclusion I can't really say that and edit myself into being dull and boring. In the real world it all comes across much better I think and in the spirit intended.
Also, big fat thumbs make all this tippy tappying hard bloody work! |

I don't know, there's always room for growth. |
