Flirting??

sevenfightclub SG

Would like to get both guys and girls' opinions on the following scenario.

Straight guy to straight girl (either via SMS or MSN):

"Talking to you makes me happy" (said 2x)
"Do you look nerdy or chio in glasses? Haha..."
Asking about dating history, details of ex-bf and current single/attached status.

Which of the above would you consider flirting or at least an indication of more-than-platonic friends interest?

Depends on how close the two of u are right?
If not very close:
1) hinting he likes her
2) flirting
3) very interested and probing a little too much
If the two are very gd friends already:
1) also may be hinting that he likes her
2) just playfully teasing the girl as a friend
3) don't think it may mean anything coz good friends talk about anything under the sun ya?

haha just my own opinion.. from a female perspective

rainee SG

stop guessing and just ask! Razz

sevenfightclub SG

Hahaha! No lah, me and someone were talking about this issue and have different opinions on what constitutes as flirting.

The exchange I quoted happened when the guy and the girl weren't considered close.

I would say it's juz happily 'chatting' and finding out more abt each other.

stellazio SG

its called socializing..flirting to me involves contact.. Laughing

Quinsy SG

trying to get into her/his pants. Mr. Green

What differenciates flirting from socialising is the INTENTION.

i think the 3rd one indicates a more extraordinary interest in the other party..

Asking about dating history, details of ex-bf and current single/attached status.

if u r not interested in the other party u wun find out whether he/she is attached so that u will know whether do u have a chance to advance the relationship... thats not exactly flirting.. its normal.. like pick up lines... by asking for dating history maybe jus to create conversations so that he/she noes how u all breakups or what u dun like abt each toher to cos the breakup so that he/she will not make the same mistake again...

dun flirt with the person... i think u will create a flirtious image (like u flirt with everyone) more than showing that u are interested...

relationships are tougher than further maths.

Are you Bigbot?

laosu SG

I dun quite agree...to me all three are just very innocent scenarios. Or maybe it depends on what's the mentality of the recieving party. Doesn't matter if that person is guy or gal.

FeowFeow SG

These don't seem like flirting to me? They're asked outta curiosity. Besides, can't friends ask these questions? Razz If we're so inflexible & take this or that as flirting, even harmless questions like these, we'd better prepare ourselves for spinsterhood/bachelorhood Razz

then i have a q liao, if a guy fren ask a girl abt her past relationsips, the stages that she had been thru with her exs, how long was the r/s, wat caused the break up etc.. is it normal for some guys or is it he's interested in the girl?

WiNtEr'SkiLL SG

lol Mr. Green

Manager433 SG

He is interested in the gal. So he's trying to find out more about the gal's past...........

browniebaobao SG

sure? but before they ended the conversation he told the girl, 'get urself a bf soon. if u need my help, let me know.'

Simple_Bear SG

Maybe the guy is just trying to be diplomatic in his replies or juz too shy to reveal his real intentions...

Embarassed

drx SG

is normal lar ... i also got ask any gals the same questions, if they feel like answering then answer lor..nothing much lar...

flirting to me is questions like...

"do u like to see me in a bunny dress"
" are u lonesome tonight""
"need someone to hug u warmly in this cold and forsaken night?"

browniebaobao SG

u mean u ever done that before too? Laughing
