      There is a tactful way to do it.

      Most people, especially around here don't know that way...

      It makes me feel special as it rarely happens. It shocked me the first few times that someone found me attractive on here because I had never really heard that before.

      IMO it is nice to go from feeling average-to-not good looking and start feeling like you may be reasonably attractive.

      ^This. Depends on who it is and how they do it.

      Depends on who is doing the flirting and if they are being obnoxious or not.

      I'm pretty oblivious to it if it's happening. I just assume folk are being friendly.

      I's pretty non-existent in my life right now. I kind of wish it would happen more to me.

      Honestly, I am fairly blunt about things when it comes to that. Sometimes it rubs people the wrong way but I am not one for games and subtleties.

      I mean more the obvious like " I want in your pants" flirting...
      But yeah there are the other flirters who mean no harm and just can't help themselves

      But they don't bother me :)

      It never stops... I'm just trying to learn to live with the fact that I'm sexy and everyone wants me... it's a hard life.

      I am choosing to ignore it and never put my pic up.

      I like it. I grew up with zero confidence. It's kind of nice to think that others see me as something "good" when I so often don't.

      Ahh, well...it is still flattering, but can sometimes be a bit much. I think your reaction depends on how you feel about the other person or not. If it is someone I find attractive it bothers me less than if it is someone I am not attracted to.

      I always assume people who hit on me are trying to sell me something, trying to rob me, or wants me to join their cult.

      wait...you're not a cute but slightly angry looking bunny?

      I came in to sexually harass you and now I just feel dirty! You are wonderful, head pats, belly rubs.

      But anyway, back to regularly scheduled programing:

      Depends on whos doing it.

      Youd love it if I did it to you snatch

      Innocent flirting and being hit on is certainly fun and flattering. There is a fine line though between flirty and creepy though.

      I think some people just tend to be flirty in their interactions in general.

      The creepy vulgar guys with offensive remarks bother me. Also the really aggressive types. Some guy followed me off of the freeway to a gas station recently. That was scary. He asked if I had a boyfriend and some other stuff. Compliments are nice from some but it's really hard to separate the creeps from the nice guys sometimes.

      I guess I'm in the not liking it crowd.

      Really? You're adorable.

      I don't mind being flirted with, as long as it's tasteful - you know, not things like "show me yer tits", or cat-calling or things like that. And that the person respects any boundaries you throw up.

      Some guy randomly came up to me last week to tell me my smile was lovely. There was no real intent there - it was just a nice compliment. He smiled and walked away. It felt nice.
