What is your reaction if somebody of your gender flirts with you?

Are your flattered, angry, surprise, etc?  

I would be deeply flattered if somebody flirts with me.

    My view of you has changed over the months and you're not so bad. However, I always try to find out as much as I can about people without being weird about it. This post was edited by Zack at April 8, 2023 10:42 PM MDT

    Well thank you.   I am glad I have changed your opinion of me.  
    I know many people find it hard to get past politics.  Or just do not want to try.    But it is nice when it happens. :)

    I don't have that problem from either gender.  My sweetie has made sure of that, I have a beautiful engagement ring which I don't hide.  Having his ring gives me confidence that no one will get the wrong idea that I am available.  (Which happened a few times when I was in school.)

    Well I don't like breaking hearts or being a tease so I tell them early on that I only butter my bread on the one side. Cheers!

    They might get a positive reaction from me if they are buying the booze.

    That's back years ago of course.

  • It's happened (one time at a party in college, a gay guy wanted to kiss me). As an asexual, I'll make it clear I'm not interested when either gender flirts with me, but I can't say I'm not flattered.

    He will find out real fast that he's messing with the wrong dude.

    Politely but firmly let him know I'm straight and taken.

    I was more surprised when I got hit on by a high school kid the other day.

    As long as it's not creepy (Randy, please note), flirting from any gender is no problem.

      Non-creepy is my M.O., it’s in my DNA, it’s my go-to approach, its my number one strategy, it’s the only way I know!
