How Women Flirt

This is slightly late for Valentine's day.  I'm easily distracted while doing reseach.  In my filing cabinet crammed with clippings that I've been saving for years, I stumbled on a study of the ways women flirt.  Here are some of the results that I've arranged according to my own categories of what I call "flirting intensity."  


Just being friendly or...?
Smile
Room-encompassing glance
Laugh
Hair flip
Head toss
Hug


Light flirting
Peck on the lips
Lip lick
Coy smile
Lean
Giggle
Whisper
Pout
Primp
Caress (arm)
Brush
Knee touch
Accept or ask to dance




Getting warmer
Dancing alone
Caress (leg, torso, face, hair)
Hand hold
Thigh touch 
Foot to foot


Should we get a room?
Frontal body contact
Buttock tap
Breast touch
And finally (this one kills me) Hike skirt

    How do you flirt, Dianne? (You don't seem the shy wallflower to me!)

  2. Cafe Pasadena, I can be very shy. For many years, I've only flirted with my husband! But I am a touchy-feely type, so I lean or touch an arm while talking and I think some people mistake it for flirting.

  6. I am stopping by just after reading about you on Cafe's blog, where I admitted to having tried to stop a few Southern mannerisms.

  7. Glad Cafe Pasadena put you onto me, Shanna! My family is from Texas and my mom always was a flirt. So, I know what you mean.
