Flirting

or a person gets attached while the other was just goofing around

@theowl: In my experience, most people with any maturity don't attach much significance to low-level flirtation.

In my experience, mature ppl flirt when attracted not to play dumb ass games bc they're bored... Next... @Rutterman:

@iCrochetstuff: By itself, it's normally not intended, nor is it interpreted, as anything more than playful banter. It does not automatically signify a romantic interest.

@iCrochetstuff: exactly.

@Rutterman: I'm old fashioned. And don't accept this pish posh childish behavior

@iCrochetstuff: I'm old fashioned too. Flirting is as old as the hills and you can bet people in our grandparents' generation, not to mention their grandparents' generation, were doing it too. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this, as I don't think it's childish at all.

@Rutterman: you apparently don't understand. I didn't say flirting is childish I'm saying the WAY ppl do it with no intention of wooing is childish

@iCrochetstuff: Low-level flirtation usually isn't done with the intention of wooing someone. If it gets more intense and it's done with some regularity, then I might interpret it that way.

@Rutterman: exactly
