Difference between flirting and just being friendly
Question Posted Monday November 28 2011, 5:59 pm
How to you tell when a guy is actually into you and flirting or if it's just his personality to be nice to everyone? Examples would be awesome! Thanks!

I know some of my guy friends are just flirty in nature so you have to really get to know this boy's personality before you can judge completely.
However, signs of flirtation include:
nicknames that are more endearing than those most: such as babe, love, sexy, etc.
being incessant about hanging out in the sooner rather than later future
winky faces, smileys, hearts, kiss faces, etc, in texts
constant eye contact or slight awkwardness
being very touchy feel-y
hugs for a long period of time, rather than the standard 5-7 second hug
choosing you over his "bros"/guy friends
obviously, asking you out on dates, etc, LOL
trying to make himself look better around you (make a good impression)
constant teasing or joking around with you... kind of like he's picking on you.
giving you compliments, liking your pictures on Facebook, calling you beautiful, etc
doing things he doesn't like but you do
And so many others!
A good tip I learned is when signs of flirting are evident call him out on it, in a flirty manner. It's playful, silly, but it also puts him in his place and lets you validate his true intentions with his response. If he says something witty, he's definitely flirty. If he's offended, and NOT in a joking way, then he's definitely not flirty. But then again, that also depends on the personality! [ xo_'s advice column | Ask xo_ A Question ]
