Has a woman ever flirted with you?
How does it feel? Did you enjoy it? Did you mess it up? Women were never interested in me, so I'm curious how it's like.

I suppose there was one time I was kind of flirted with, but my own dumbass more or less ruined it.

I was in sixth form at the time (basically later high school years for you non-Brits) and one day in class we were just waiting for our teacher to arrive, and some of my mates and I decided to pass the time by trading shirts to see how well we fit each other.

I've always been an exercise nut, so even at seventeen I was pretty toned out. As soon as I took off my shirt, one of the girls sat nearby said, "Damn, Revis, you got a nice bod," and of course everyone else started ooing and awing at that.

They all looked at me, clearly waiting for my response, but I was so taken aback that all I could muster was a meagre, "Oh, thanks," and a light chuckle before moving on.

Funnily enough, I still have that girl added on Instagram to this very day. I wonder what she would say if I reached out to her now.

It happened to me a few times, but it kinda felt awkward each time because I wasn't especially into them. If you're curious to how they flirted, let me know.

The thing is that I didn't want to be mean, and also either oblivious or convinced myself that I was imagining stuff, and because of that I would sort of play along, which resulted in a couple confessions that I had to declined, which always sucks for both parties.

So now I try to pay extra attention and put some distance right away to avoid that.

Now for the feeling of it, not gonna lie it still feels good to know that someone finds you interesting/funny/handsome enough to be into you.

Also for the only girlfriend I had, I was the flirty one, so...

This is pretty close to how I felt too. Not that I didn't like her per se, but the whole idea of a girl actually LIKING ME was so far away from my mind that when it actually appeared as a possibility, I just sort of instinctually backed out due to how scary and awkward it felt.

Nowadays I'm just not interested in relationships, so I try to keep my distance from people to prevent a situation like that from happening again.

Yeah a handful of times, one led to a relationship, most of the others were during said relationship. Always felt very awkward, but it's a good feeling nonetheless, doesn't happen much now that I don't go out often.

I hardly go out or hangout with my friends as much anymore…I just work…no other woman has never flirted with me, I know sometimes women always compliment about how pretty my eyes are…but at times I feel like I’m a decent looking guy but never good enough to be with a woman…I know I’m a wholesome hopeless romantic with mild autism on this site but I feel like women would never like me…

Had a girl who wouldn't flirt verbally but rather through cuddling and biting me. Must say that easily won me over~ plus she made me wear her clothes one time, and she kept on grabbing my belly and calling me a twink which did some irreversible things to my mind...

a girl talk to me...

In all seriousness, yes it's happened before. Though it never really went far. But it was for the best really, sometimes you gotta know when to fold and/or hold em

Not really. Once got an indirect compliment (?) on my waist, but that's about it.

I don't know about flirting per se, but once a female friend of mine outright said that me and her should go on a date at some point. I dismissed this immediately, which honestly was a dick move. I dunno if I'd have taken her up on it, being the man I am now.

I retrospect I’m pretty sure some girls were trying to hit on me when I was in high school. I was too much of an ass to see it. They’d sometimes ask me if I’d ever be with someone, and I’d say something stupid like “ well I’m probably gonna die alone, who would ever love me” (very edgy stuff thanks man) and they’d respond with things like, “Oh I’m sure someone will love you, you’re very nice after all.”

One time during lunch I was actually told by someone that someone had a crush on me. My dumbass just said “I feel sorry for her.”

No wonder everyone thought I was gay.

I mean, I once had a VERY attractive Korra cosplayer sit on my lap at a party once so...maybe?

Oh definitely!
It's just such a shame about 90% of them were either done in such an awkward way that it made me too super extremely uncomfortable to even address it OR they've been done so subtly that it didn't really feel safe to pursue... or ya know... there's the off chance that it wasn't a flirt at all. The issue of 'Is she flirting or just being nice?' is so fucking real, lemme tellya.

For me, being direct and saying something like 'Hey, I think you're cute/hot. Ya wanna hang out sometime?' goes a long way. Pretty much had that happen to me one time at a party where the girl felt comfortable approaching... I think me being kinda sloshed at the time probably made her feel more comfortable about it... might've came off as less intimidating... or maybe it was the thought that maybe if things didn't go so great that there was a chance I wouldn't remember. But I did remember and asked her out later. That felt great. x3

Can't say one ever has, a shame since I so enjoy some flirtation. But it's fun to practice from time to time all the same.

Oh yeah, a good number of times from different women. One that I fondly, and regrettably, recall was with a Korean gal I met during college. We teased each other plenty of times, be it in DMs or when we were with our friends. Most of the teasing was on certain food cravings we had, certain hobbies of our own, or just shows / anime we liked, etc. But we certainly hung out together for a long while. Granted, she was 1 year my senior, so the writing on the wall kinda... had set itself early on.

She was undoubtedly that one lady in my life that I genuinely liked a lot.
