i have a tendency to do that, only because i've had guys suddenly go stalkerish when i thought they were just being friendly.

Not saying it would've worked, but often saying 'no not interested' works quite good (when you're sure he's hitting on you).

When you best around the bush we guys ain't got a clue what the heck you want.

tried that. he said he would convince me otherwise.

Wow. That doesn't sound very attractive by any means. If you weren''t interested in the beginning, what made him think you would later?

And here I am sitting here thinking anybody who flirts with me is joking or doing it on a dare.

She assumes the explaining is also flirting.

The parking attendant was explaining something to her about monthly parking... She said he was flirting. I was there riding shotgun.

What these sort of threads seem to say is that it's better to be a supreme jerk to people's faces.

Except when you do that you tend to attract a whole gang of "choke me Daddy" girls.

She hasn't actually. She had never been in a relationship, and the moment she did she started assuming all guys were flirting with her.

okay yeah that's narcissism. I've just known women who take niceness as flirting in order to protect themselves

There are two kinds of people! I legit didn't realize that a friend was flirting with me,and he was obvious! Another friend had to tell me..

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I've never taken anything as flirting, I just assumed if they were really into me (or I them) we would just be upfront and straight about it

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Right, except he even told me he loved me and was afraid he was too much so that he would drive me away.. I am not very bright, it seems

Or they just don't care. I've been to a club with my bf, went to the bar to get a drink and got hit on. I said "I'm gonna be upfront. 1/2

I'm with my bf but we can still talk casually". Reply: "and I have a gf, so what?" followed by an invitation to go outside. Wtf? 2/2

Instead of saying "I have a bf" I just use the first convenient moment to slip in information about him so that they'd know.

At that point where you say "Some guys really freak out on you if you don't tell them right away." Telling someone who approaches you right

I treat every conversation as casual. If a guy freaks because I didn't mention my husband, that's his problem. If it comes up, then I do.

Do you not have a wedding ring on?

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

The reason women are so quick to use this line is cause so many have had guys not back off until they are told she has a boyfriend.

9 years ago | Likes 33 Dislikes 7

Which is bigger issue of men. It respecting women. But instead respecting their real or imaginary boyfriends more. And only then backing off

How is your first comment perfectly coherent and sensible and the second one a disjointed jumble?

You do know a lot of courtship is playing hard to get, right? Trying to convince somebody you are worth being with...

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 6

And it's obvious when someone is playing hard to bet vs not interested. But unfortunately many men struggle with this or just don't care

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Never say "it's obvious" with human interaction. Not everybody has the same social skills. That's a large assumption to make.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

If someone is gonna use the "they're just playing hard to get" line, then I get to assume they have adequate social skills

Surely it's possible to let the guy finish his sentence?

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 4

Agreed, When you look at it in the abstract. But when you consider a women has probably dealt with this for years or decades, I get her side

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

I can understand her justification, I just think it's silly and wrong. Give the guy *one* sentence, if only to show his purpose. 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

If he flirts tell him "I have a boyfriend," if he continues tell him "fuck off". Maybe my ignorance colors my thoughts, though. 2/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Does the speed of delivery of the line help? Like before the guy says anything rather than after the first sentence??

From what I gather yes. It makes them more likely to think she's just a bitch and go after someone else without giving a lecture about *1
