Even at my advanced age, I flirt, but only when I know it won't be taken seriously. I worked with a bunch of crazy techies, and they always got a kick out of our silly give and take. Once, though, I batted my eyelashes (subtle, huh?) at one of my guys when I wanted a small favor and he said "I can't remember the last time a woman batted her eyelashes at me - whatever you want? It's yours!"

I won't say I verbally flirt, but if I see a guy who catches my eye, I'm gonna look and maybe smile at him and my body language might change. At work, well, I interact with some of the younger guys from time to time, but it is on a professional level...although there are 1 or 2 who I have gotten to know a little better than the others, and we might laugh about things other than work. Yes I am married, and I would flirt with DH more but if he's not working (2 jobs) he's sleeping, therefore I don't see him except on the weekends.
As long as no lines are crossed, flirting is ok imo.
I'm just curious, I have no problem with people flirting if it's harmless, but when you smile at a guy who catches your eye and he proceeds to walk over to speak with you because he notices you noticing him...what do you do then? I would think it would be an ackward situation at that point, no?

I usually work in something about my boyfriend in the first few sentences. They get the message.

I'm not a flirt, as in I don't turn on the charm for anyone in particular aside from my DH. I am bubbly and friendly and sometimes people confuse that with flirting... soooo totally not the same thing. I am also the first one to get up and dance and love to party but that doesn't make me easy either, count that as another two things people tend to get confused.
Can I ask those of you who do intentionally flirt, what on earth do you do when someone takes you up on it?

Flirting is not a proposition.![]()

We joke that I need to control the flirt or it could be dangerous. We were out one night and my DBF went to the bathroom. I decided when he came walking back to give him the biggest flirt that I had. It was a definitely come hither look and smile. There was a single guy at the table behind us so when I turned and did my business, he thought that I was doing it to him and he sat up straight and got a little puffy. Poor guy, when my DBF arrived a few seconds later he understood what was going on.

I don't think the word proposition is quite in line with what I meant by take you up on it, I don't think flirts are necessarily going anywhere but I can't imagine never being asked if it's an invitation.
Ides, do you have The Eagles song "Those Shoes" as a ringtone?![]()

A wink and a butt grab or a quick flash as I am walking past him if there are no "little eyes" looking.......
