Shaking that sassy *kitten* and getting hit on.

sullykat

I had a discussion yesterday with my trainer about flirting and getting hit on. He said he loves it because, as he put it, he's "still got it!". I personally, have never been a huge fan. I mean, yes, it is most certainly flattering! But enjoyable? For me, not really.

I got to thinking about it and wondered why I have such an aversion to people (ANYONE)flirting with me. I think it's a selfconsciousness thing when it comes down to it. Being uncomfortable with oneself.

So, I guess my question is, how comfortable are you with being hit on and/or flirted with. And, I suppose, while the questions are bing asked, if you are single (or a little more free spirtited in your relationship) how comfortable are you with flirting? Were you ever uncomfortable with it?

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE flirting. And the better I feel about myself, the worse (or better if you like) I get about it. I used to be more uncomfortable about it, but now it's just a part of me. I blame my MFPeeps, dirty lot that they are.

And by the way...how YOU doin'?

I HATE being flirted with, it makes me feel so awkward! Probably because I suck at it

I'm uncomfortable with social interaction in general.

my friends/coworkers/family tell me all the time that I flirt with everybody, but I don't see it. I'm naturally pretty outgoing and friendly and I never really realize that it may come off as flirty. At the same time, I'm pretty oblivious as to when someone is actually flirting with me, unless they are super direct about it. But when I DO notice that I'm being flirted with I do enjoy it and find it very flattering!

I love being flirted with... its only gotten worse since I started using MFP and have some wonderful MFPeeps...

Hmm... well my personality is naturally flirtatious... so, having said that, I'm pretty comfortable with it. I have a boyfriend on the other side of the country, so for me, I keep it very innocent. However, when it comes to them asking me out or whatever, I usually just tell them I'm taken and they respectfully go away. It's when they're douche bags about it is when things get uncomfortable. haha

I think this is just part of your personality or it isn't. I work in the cosmetology field. Part of my success lies in my ability to make people feel good about themselves through looks, speech, touch & talent. Flirting is key in that. You have to be outgoing, and have the shmooze factor.

My husband says I flirt with almost all guys I meet.

I say that free drinks at the bar, free food at the restaurant, and free games at the bowling alley should certainly eradicate his jealousy

I suck at flirting and it makes me feel awkward....I wish I didn't always feel so reserved. Alcohol usually does the trick though :laugh: :blushing:

When I was younger I hated being flirted with... I was self conscious and not comfortable. Really any social situation made me feel uncomfortable and out of place...sometimes still does. Now I love flirting and being flirted with.

Oh agreed! When I was single, I used alcohol once or twice to get my flirt on. In my mind it worked... who knows if it actually did; maybe I was just that obnoxious drunk girl who wouldn't go away.

ParaSempreAmor11

it can get real awkward sometimes but im a complete flirt even when i dont realize it but now that im in a relationship i dont even go there and if a guy starts flirting with me i simply tell him im taken or i walk away LOL not interested...

I haven't the foggiest how I'm supposed to react, and so I overreact. Like when a guy asked for my number I said I had no telephone at all and no access to any telephone, cell or landline.

Mostly, it's just that I've been pretty unattractive the majority of my life, and so I wouldn't know how to proceed if asked. I'm not to the point where this is really happening, though.

^^ haha -

Flirting is an art form that I am trying to perfect -and will take any willing participants that want to flirt with me :drinker:

This. I suck to began with plus not having much experience in both, flirting and getting flirted on/to. Alcohol does tend to help me as well. >.>

I guess I flirt shamelessly with my coworkers and stuff but I don't mean it so I don't consider it as such. Being seriously hit on though I find irritating. Dunno why. It's a little flattering but mostly an irritant or nuisance.

Haha I tell them I have no phone too! That's my gut reaction. What else can you say other than the super awkward "I'm not interested?" I'm too honest

Its all about flirting and if your fit or getting fit its going to happen alot whether you like it or not

This reminds me of a time this man asked me to dance, I totally freaked out and immmediately said "I am married" the guy laughed and said "I was asking for a dance not marriage." :embarassed:
