By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Quite often I can’t see even if it comes up and slaps me around the face!

How good is your flirting game?

Can you easily spot when someone is flirting with you??

If I don't fancy them yes. If I do no.

I think it's probably down to lack of confidence and assuming they won't fancy me back

There’s a school of thought for women that suggests that if we’re approached by a guy for a chat, that isn’t related to something they need from us, that it’s a flirt. Guys?

No, sometimes it’s just for a chat and a laugh. Women aren’t much different to men, some of them are a real laugh to talk to

Never had the confidence to chat someone up. Same as you, wouldn’t have a clue if someone was into me unless they wore a sign saying so !

If a guy is chatting to me and touching my arm occasionally etc, it’s a blatantly obvious signal. I’m pretty good at picking up signals I think, also if a guy is taking the mick out of me etc, I know really they wouldn’t say no if I was to give them the nod
