<p>I know that flirting is used in The Sims - but the two people play around with each other. it's really superficial.</p>
<p>is it always romantic? does it always carry a romantic connotation?</p>
<p>and what do people who flirt usually do? what does the process of flirting involve? is it used primarily among younger kids or adults?</p>

<p>if a girl touches my arm, is that considered flirting? it lists that as one of Wikipedia's entries for flirting - but could that have a different interpretation?</p>
<p>i cant tell if youre serious or not. talk to your mom.</p>
<p>Go watch more movies.</p>
<p>I'm not falling for this...</p>
<p>Aaah, I'm really sorry if I'm offending you InquilineKea, but I believe that InquilineKea has a mild form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome, which would cause his social skills to not be that great. So this isn't a joke.</p>
<p>Oh, and in case you're wondering, I remember seeing you mention this in some of your posts.</p>
<p>Please tell me this thread is a joke...</p>
<p>its kind of like farting</p>
<p>yeah, this is actually a serious question, as naive as I may be. Thanks for the mention shravas - I kind of felt awkward of disclosing it again myself.</p>
<p>Anyhow... is touching necessarily considered flirting? The Wikipedia article certainly elaborates on what flirting is. But while flirting can map to a certain number of activities, the question is, do the presence of such activities necessarily map back to flirting? Like, sometimes, even adults might touch you for one reason or another.</p>
<p>you all learn what flirting is through subconscious inferences based on experience - you don't learn it through any formal lessons. However, the subconscious inferences are often provided by mental modules - mental modules that I may lack. It's like language - children pick it up subconsciously and very quickly due to the presence of certain mental modules - but yet adults have to exert full mental effort into learning the language - because such modules become non-existant later in life (after a critical period).</p>
<p>In other words - some of you may pick it up naturally - whereas some of us have to pick it up consciously and with full effort</p>
<p>Can flirting be done in a Platonic friendship?</p>
<p>I think that some nerd-filled forums might be friendlier to such questions. :p</p>
<p>Er... Most people realize when someone is flirting with them; it's usually a case to case basis. Unfortunately, there are no set guidelines on what constitutes flirting; if you really need to know, you might as well ask...</p>

<p>Question: i smile whenever i talk to anyone i don't know very well .. i don't know why, i'm just a very smiley person .. could this be misconstrued as flirting?</p>
<p>Sadly, pretty much anything friendly could be considered flirting. Uh, don't over think it OP.</p>
<p>flirting is when you bake cheesecakes with chef andre and play kickballl with kaleigh and spank her bootay</p>
<p>You should also try to understand WHO you should flirt with, because you know, if say a much much older man is into you, something is wrong.</p>
