Ladies... are you bad at flirting....??? Gents to I guess.
I am only meeting socially right now but... I am awful at it. I am quite direct with my responses but I guess right now I don't want to mislead.
However even in the past... banter and loads of flirting has actually put me off. And once had a couple cancel a meet as apparently I was obviously not into the meet .
I was but just would leave it up to my partner who could flirt for the world... And just turn up on the day.
So is it a case of you can do it or not.. or am I doomed to never be able to. Lol |

I know how you feel op, when I try to flirt I’m really bad yet I’m told I do it all the time without knowing, I’m too direct too and very literal, ah well, if they don’t like it they can move on to someone else, don’t worry op, the ones that are worthy of you will stay |

Mrs F can be quite shy when meeting new folk so needs reasurance from me. She likes to be lead rather than taking control. She can be very flirtatious once she knows you . I don't like to reasure to much as strangers might think its me being pushy but that's not at all what we are doing as we bounce off each other. So I dont take the lead and Mrs F finds it difficult to flirt. Meet us again and its a whole new ball game  |

"I'm quite good at flirting but I no longer do it on fab because it gets misinterpreted too often."
I remember reading research many years ago showing that the tone of text only communication is misinterpreted by the recipient slightly more than 50% of the time. So people misread the tone more often than not. That number fell to about 20% if smileys were allowed and used (this was before the days of emoji).
As a result, I have more tolerance for smileys and emoji in messages than someone of *ahem* my generation might  .
On that note, a big  to everyone. Flirting achieved |

I think I'm a bit too good at it  I used to be shy and reserved. But when I started on Fab that really didn't work for me. So I plucked up the courage to start flirting more and haven't looked back. Now I've got the opposite problem in that I'm trying to date in a vanilla way but find myself flirting my arse off with my dates. It's like there's no in between |

Seems it's not just me then. I am just blunt.. And would rather just jump straight to something.
I am great at reading body language except when it's flirting aimed at me lol x |

In order to flirt successfully you have to be good at giving and receiving compliments, you have to have a personality and eye contact and smiling are good attributes |

That's where I'm going wrong then. I hate receiving compliments, it makes me very self conscious. I'm rubbish at giving them too. They just feel forced rather than sincere. |

I can only flirt online once I've known someone for a while. Even then it sometimes feels a bit strange. I generally only flirt if they flirt first! (And make it blindingly obvious that they are flirting!)
(Sorry if anyone I've tried flirting with online takes offence!) |

I can give but not take and have no issues with the rest. But my idea of getting flirty is " so can I suck your cock then" |

I find that most flirting on fab is very insincere.. And guys say it because they want to get laid.
This has been reinforced across the years when you say no to someone sexually who has been sending you compliments and suddenly your an old fat slapper he didn't want anyway.
Ironically I'm apparently great at chatting .. it just can't be flirty. Lol

Yes flirting is a highly evolved social skill. It simply has to be in person, it can't be done online |
