How do you demonstrate interest in someone?

Post Reply New Topic

I usually just assume that people are being nice/polite unless they’re really obvious about it. Part of it is because my upbringing and young adulthood was very weird about this stuff.

By taking them into a storage room or something and kissing them

I wish I could try that at Day Program but I would get kicked out!! !

When I was 12-13, I would challenge them to an arm wrestling match. However, I quickly learned that it was an ineffective strategy, so I ended up abandoning it altogether.

Presumably I'd flirt, but what the heck is even that? How am I supposed to do that?

Often what I've done in the past when I wanted to come out to someone (my ex-girlfriend waaayyy back in the day), I hinted about that, often in joking ways so I could take it back if a negative response came out. I think that's also the only way I've ever tried to let someone know I like them.

Recently, I think I have realized me being more playful and joking around with people I like. Perhaps that's "flirting". IDK. Not sure if it's actually distinguishable from normal me. I could especially confuse guys, because I like to play around with them, not romantically, but instead because my mind is oftentime like an elementary school girl liking to mess around with boys about silly girls vs boys elementary school nonsense (think "cooties" but not sure I've ever said that one. Maybe. ). I was doing this with a guy at work and realized "WAIT. We're adults. Am I being inappropriate? Is he going to take this the wrong way?".

tl;dr: I don't know how to flirt. I also have a poor detector for realizing someone is attracted to me. They have to do something obvious, like guys using pet names. (which is frustrating, because I don't like that, but what short of that will oblivious me even recognize? Ugh)

Flirting is tricky. People often flirt because it’s fun, not because they are genuinely interested in someone. Maybe if we were to liken interest to a sickness, flirting could be a symptom but you often need more than one for a diagnosis.

A lot of people do flirt for fun in my experience. As the above poster said, the frequency of flirtation would probably determine the context of the flirting between two people, assuming that the flirting was reciprocated.

Tell them this:

Except mine are union jack.

I have noticed that some car lots have the hoods of their cars open to show they are honest and above board. May I suggest that that you walk around with your mouth open so other people will think the same of you.

I go into painstaking detail about any female issues I might be experiencing at the time. It helps promote intimacy.

Weasel their number out of a friend of a friend and send ‘em a nude pic. It’s often best to find one online.
