Has anyone ever mistaken you being polite for flirting ?

Yes, my husband assumes that I’m flirting with everyone I talk to. Coworkers, furniture salesmen, random dudes standing behind me in lines.
@ProdigalSummer definitely insecurities the fact that he doesn’t do a well job proving his love and affection to you but he’s concerned with someone else doing it is mind blowing 🤦🏽‍♀️
@Stark in his mind he’s the model husband and I’m the problem.

@ProdigalSummer too many of us live in our own minds, and we should be more mindful of others, while at the same time, minding our own business, but keeping in mind that some times other people's business is our business, as long as they don't mind.

Whenever my friends would see me talking to a girl that wasn't in our friend group, they'd go

"Who was that girl you were smiling & flirting with 😏" when it's just another friend that they don't know about lol
SailorMarz · F
@Stark i'd get offended at how they thought i'd flirt with just about any girl lol
@SailorMarz My friends would do that if I was associating with a guy they didn’t know it hasn’t been done in a while but I can see it happening still. Lol I don’t know whether I should be offended or not.

@AlmostAnAngel What? 😁
SW-User
Yes. I have found that people sometimes mistake my kindness and my humor as flirting.
SW-User
@SW-User I admit, I misread the signals a few times, and I apologized profusely. Didn't you get the crotchless panties I sent you as a peace offering?
SW-User
@SW-User Well yeah... can't you see I'm wearing them? 😏😂
SW-User
@SW-User I can now 😲 Peace at last. 🤤

More like being rude. Apparently if I'm polite but quiet it means I'm stuck up according to a few people.
@SeductiveCactus When I was younger I was quite shy and many assumed I was rude as well.
Yeah, when I was in my twenties this old, asthmatic, Coke-bottle-glasses-wearing, George-Jefferson-afro-having man that I worked with told the office manager that I was batting my eyes at him, which was totally untrue.
SW-User
yes. I simply offered to orally pleasure a woman who had claimed she was desperate for affection of any kind, and right away, she assumes I'm flirting. Geeesh!
SW-User
Stark? I noticed you hearted my comment, could this be the start of something special?

🤣
@SW-User 😂
SW-User
@Stark I was afraid of this. I blame myself really. I come on too strong, and people think I'm saying one thing, when all I really mean to say is will you marry me?
SW-User
Yeah it's annoying. 🙄

More men than not, I think.
@Graylight I think it’s more common for men to in general. I remember this guy on here made a post about how he thought this waitress was into him because she called him “honey.” It May have been a possibility but that term is used regularly where I live in settings like that.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Stark Right? I had a friend who was bumped into by a woman completely by accident. He was sure she was into him based on that.
@Graylight That’s cringy and very egotistical 😬. Although I’m pretty oblivious when being flirted with so maybe certain actions are considered flirting and I’m just unaware 😂
SW-User
Ah no.
But me being friendly seems flirty sometimes... 😏
@SW-User Well, that would fall into this situation as well I would think.
Well, if they consider Tennessee politeness to be flirting...
SW-User
More often it's the other way round. :(
@SW-User oh damn 🙁
SW-User
I don't even know how to flirt, nor being polite. Lol

SpaceCreature · 26-30, F
No.. well, I dont think so 🤔
@AlmostAnAngel do you remember what happened ?
AlmostAnAngel · 100+, F
@Stark Had to let them down gently.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
Hahaha yes.

Sometimes but not often.
I had a few but surprising and complicated stories the other way round, probably related to some naivete
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
No, but my sarcasm has!
SW-User
@BrattyMel Yes! I get that too.... my sarcastic humor, lol.
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
@SW-User Ha ha, then I have the internal debate on wether my comment sucked or the other person does....but then I realize, no it's just the other person. I'm awesome.
Spokeskitties75 · 46-50, M
