From the responses here it seems that 'flirting' means different things to different people; or maybe different levels of that behavior; yet people with different definitions - or none - will argue interminably and aggressively about whether it's 'good' or 'bad' - without either of them knowing what the other is talking about, what they visualise as flirtation.

Ah, well, what else is new? (Sarc)

Mmhmm. There used to be an art to it. But the older I’ve gotten the more I’ve realized how icky and completely out of place it’s become.

YES.
So anyway..how YOU doin?😎

Flirting with one, Flirting with us all

Flirty - what I feel like when Im pretending I can swim

Also a good way to ruin a friendship

Right? It's just shallow these days

I flirt a lot less now. Only if I've known someone for awhile and I know they're available.

I flirt a bit with a few. More interesting regular conversation most days however

Understandable. I don't flirt like I did once upon a time.

I was never really big on flirting. It was just exhausting and made me feel inauthentic

It makes things awkward too

Lol……. I really don’t have the energy anymore. Would just be my mouth writing checks my ass can’t cash.

how do you do it?
