Flirting. When do sly grins, winks , and soft whispers become something more than Flirting? :confused:
 
its too far when either party involved starts to feel a bit uncomfortable with what's going on. then it's gone too far
 
when you make it known that the attention is unwanted and it continues. Or when it's threatening (ie, a woman walking alone being harassed by 5 guys).
 
Well, I was afraid I went too far a few weeks ago, when a guy at work was talking about big bottay, and, this friend I had a HUGE thing for was like, "No. This is all bottay," So, I said, "And a nice bottay, at that." At least she still talks to me.
 
*feels ill inside*


there should be a rule book like the MLA for this shit.....

Hmmmmm we could do a test...........For purely scientific reasons of course........:) :p
 
Flirtings main flaw is interpretation. Was she being friendly or was she being REALLY friendly? The gone too part depends on which one of the flirters sets the upper limit. Cross that line and you have officially gone too far.
 
When her husband comes in with a loaded shotgun...

Really, anything short of that is fine. :D
 
To far is when you know that you have crossed the line and will never be the same again and it totally changes your life. That when. My 2 cents worth for all they are worth.
 
I'm generally dissuaded by...

... restraining orders.

At that point something just isn't clicking, ya know?

Speaking of Attention

Many people flirt. Its part of life. Human nature. Like its been said on this thread, and another, it makes the flirtee and the flirter feel good. It garners attention. When you feel low, you might flirt a little, whether it be on here, or with your SO. It IS a way of getting attention. Otherwise, why do it at all? Wasn't that the purpose?
As for too far, I think each person has to set their own limits, and let the flirter know, calmly, carefully, what that limit is. Something like..."LOL Hey now...that's too far" works for me.
 
I have no personal "too far", but I'm very cautious about other people's limits normally.

well, there's a comfort zone between you and whomever you're flirting with. generally when it's too far, you'll start to feel uncomfortable (i.e. the guy that's talking to a girl he really likes decides to just whip it out for no reason. that could make her really uncomfortable and say that its gone too far then). each person has different boundaries and define what is too far differently than someone else.

I know if someone I were just talking to reached out and grabbed my boob, they would not have a hand very long since they have crossed the line, but someone else in the same position may not think that.

Haven't used the "whipping" it out technique yet. That seems to be skipping the whole flirting thing.

I may have to move that into my bag of tricks if that's being used. Potential upgrade I guess...
