I happen to think that "flirting" (in the true sense of the word) is a dying art. I would like to hear both men and women's opinions on what flirting techniques appeal to them the most from the opposite sex

The art of flirting is a dying art!

Flirting denotes an attraction to someone of the opposite sex.

Just as women looking for "gentlemen" and/or "nice guys" has become a passe' idea so goes men flirting

As a FEMALE co-worker pointed out to me:
"the difference between flirting and sexual harrassment all depends on what the guy looks like"

I don't mind at all. I love flirting. I keep it innocuous so as to avoid any accusations of sexual harrassment, and I am hoping that an apology will work if or when I do offend someone.

The only flirting that works for me is the one that leads to hooking up, literally...lol

I also think flirting with someone is a dying thing.
I remember when someone could flirt, yet not go to the extreme of doing it offensively, and everyone had a great time. But then...those were the "good old days". LOL.

I think flirting is "giving imagination wings to fly and touch those passionate moons, you wish they could come alive from some heavens".

To me no tech matters, after all, it is the power of how you weave your words, coupled with body language and laughter, that determine the level of appeal.

I dont think it is a dying art but a natural artistic part of humans. It just aroused when the right fuel drops.

I like your question wikked.

There was once a time when flirting was a good thing, now they can get you for sexual harassment even if it was only staring. But then it all depends on the person.

The best type of flirting is when the person drops in little comments now and again, making u think more than anything.

This is what i mean by a "dying art"...flirting in the true sense of the word is not "sexually offensive"..it is as someone wrote here...it is a natural instinct when one is attracted to another...at the end of the day we all still retain some of our most primal instincts...and flirting to catch another's eye is essence one of them!
It is all in the perception...and flirting really is toeing the line (sexually) without crossing the line...which could then be miscontrued as sexual harrassment

That would be one mighty fine line and depending on the intended target it can move either way. Because of the workplace rules on sexual harassment over the past 10-15 years, I don't bother with the women I work with. Hell, I met my ex-wife while working for Timberland Shoe company when they were located here in NH 20 someodd years ago before all that crap in the workplace.

Like you said, it's all in the perception

hi im rosey of course you can flirt with me

hey beautiful. where you been? i have been looking all over for you.

When I flirt, it's usually because I am seriously interested :)

USUALLY A SMILE A SIMPLE HELLO STARTS THE BALL ROLLONG,
ASKING FOR YOUR NAME IN UNUSUALL WAY LETS U KNOW THEY ARE INTERESTED.AND YOU CAN TELL I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE GAME FOR A LONG TIME.

NO I DON'T MIND IF YOU WANT TO FLIRT WITH ME . ALITTLE FLIRTING MAKES A BODY FEEL GOOD. I LIKE TO FLIRT TOO. KEEPS POSITIVE ENERGY. JUST REMEMBER WHATS ON YOUR SHOULDERS!

Sexual harrassment, yea too bad things are the way they are now. I never flirted while married, at least not to my knowledge. I work in the public sector so you can't even say anything rude to a twit that deserves it without fear of getting written up. Been there done that. I swear they hire idiots here or it's a condition of employment.

I like this comment ... because flirting is stimulating passion in the mind of our imagination. Imagination and preception are the keys to how we interpret a remark, a look, a touch, a written word

So speaks the queen herself...!

I LOVE to flirt!

As weird as this might sound I'd actually like to flirt with one monogamous woman that I know well. In my mind flirting doesn't end when the beginning of a relationship. On the contrary the spark has just begun to glow. I'll blow on it with passionate breath until it becomes a raging inferno burning out of control driving my woman insane with unbearable passions of lust.

At least that's the plan.

;o)

It's a great plan Abra,
don't think you can fail, very few have the skills with words that you do.
Flirting is an art form and just so much fun.
