    You have to have a sense of who may like it and who might not... there is no wrong or right and flirting is not necessarily hitting on someone... flirting just celebrates the differences between us. Hitting on someone is a little more overt than just flirting IMO.

    How does anyone else feel about it?
    I personally hate it.
    Its nice when its sincere. Wasted on me since I am married, but it still makes me smile when I get checked out on occasion.

    I like it and have always enjoyed it... I just didn't like when it became obnoxious.

    How could anybody not like it. Gives you a boost and bounce in your step.

    I love it. Because it NEVER happens.

    This is the third week I've gone to a particular gym in this area, and yesterday was the very first time someone other than the employees has ever said a word to me. Not that I'm there for conversation, but I'm open to it occasionally.

    I've also found that older men are much more likely to approach me. I don't know if this is anyone else's experience, but it's about 75/25 for me lol

    I have felt invisible for a very long time and when someone says hi or something it usually takes me by surprise...
    In real life almost no one ever approaches me, but on the Internet people are friendlier to me.

    Still nice to hear the compliments....went so many years without. Weight loss has sparked confidence, even if I am still coming to grips with what people say about me. ????

    Depends how cringe-worthy it is. I normally ignore it if it makes me cringe haha.

    I also can't stand awful corny chat up lines - guys they are not funny and they never will be!

    A nice, genuine compliment is fine, but if you're being creepy I will not appreciate it.

    If its a casual complement, i am ok with it. The problem starts when its a sincere one because then i might develop the subconscious need to win their approval every day.

    I love it. If someone has gotten up the courage to come over and talk to me then I am happy to chat to them. Why should I be rude and obnoxious about it. It's always nice to think people find you attractive or interesting enough to compliment or want to talk to.
    A little harmless flirting is great for self confidence.

    Agreed. Giving someone a compliment or just saying hello like a sane person is not complicated. There is no need to open with some weird pickup line and act like a psycho. Lol.

    People are too uptight. Anybody gets a tingle looking at my chubby *kitten*, by all means, let me know. For the rest of you consider it a form of validation that all your hard work is showing because you caught someone's eyes.

    OK...let me put it this way....You are at work. A big guy starts talking to you and complimenting your outfit. Ok right?...he comes by your desk a lot that day..compliments your hair, your eyes etc...and then asks you for lunch. You make it clear "thanks, but I don't go that way", Guy looks pissed, but walks away. After work, you notice this guy in the parking lot. He's checking you out. Hes bigger and you heard he's a professional MMA figher on the weekends.

    Still liking it? Does it feel kind of scary and threatening yet?

    See...that's the problem. men don't see a problem with "flirting" because most have never experienced a scary flirter who won't take no for an answer, and has the ability to physically overpower and hurt you if they choose. Almost all women have experienced that. THAT is why many of us are wary of flirting. If men could take no for an answer and leave us alone...then we'd be more relaxed with it.

    there is a difference between good fun flirting and OTT stalking and you can't possible put those into the same basket.

    If people did not flirt then nobody would get together and no action would happen :wink:
