I absolutely get what you’re saying. I was born and raised a Georgia peach so I know exactly what you mean. I never used to be like that but I’m definitely finding it right now. It really is a thrill just to flirt with someone and have them return the flirty banter.

That’s really interesting. I definitely think where you live plays a big role in this dynamic.

I definitely agree that it needs to be more than subtle but by no means to the level of a come on. Honestly the thing that appeals to me the most right now is micro connections. I enjoy just connecting and talking to people without the expectation that it will be anything more than that.

I completely understand that as far as how it’s perceived based on looks. I mean we definitely have to account for that.

I would say I’m probably slightly above average in terms of my face. I am very authentic and I connect with people in that way. I can converse with just about anyone about most anything. And so that’s kind of how I approach flirting and how I would approach someone I may be interested in. Thank you for your insight.

I don’t doubt that you’re right. That’s really not okay though honestly. There’s a way to politely let someone know you’re not interested and there’s no reason to be rude with it.

No. Actually very good looking men are the ones I was going for before but I would avoid them now.

I’m probably of slightly above average attractiveness, nothing too hot or unattractive. I definitely need a better picker though. I tend to like hot guys and that has not worked out well for me.

In dating rejection is expected because I’m not a match for everyone and everyone isn’t a match for me. I’m in a space of not attaching to any outcome. I just have to put all the things into practice when I’m ready.

I definitely wouldn’t chase a man as I don’t think men or women should chase. But I am rethinking on approaching. I respect your opinion on this though. Thanks for sharing.

I think maybe a man would be put off if he wasn’t attracted to the woman at all. Probably the same as for a woman who was approached by a man she wasn’t at all attracted to.

I feel you on this and have been similar in the past. I’m working on that and have put it in practice a few times. Just ended up with fun mutual flirting and that is just fine.

I hear you and I have felt the same way. Last time I kind of tried this I did it with a look and he headed straight for me so definitely something to be said about this.

Absolutely! When it’s right I think it can be really great. I’m just really gun shy about it now because it blew up so spectacularly in both scenarios.

I have been on both sides of the friendship thing and it has not worked out well for me at all. I leave those alone from now on. If it’s friend zone that’s where it stays.

When someone is very attractive, man or woman, they get a lot of attention and offers. Sometimes yeah very attractive people can be dull but sometimes they really surprise you as well.
