How can I guy tell the difference between a "flirt" and a gal just being nice to him?

In other words, what constitutes a "flirt" and what doesn't, besides the obvious "come hither look" to "Romeo"? It can be a little confusing for a guy because I think, basically, GUYS don't "flirt", they just let a gal know they like her in other ways like buying her flowers, candy, etc, asking her out, that kind of letting her know ... so ... it can be a little bit confusing sometimes for a guy.



For instance, if a gal bakes my favorite dessert (BROWNIES!!! Yummmmmmm, yummmmm!!!) or cooks my favorite meal (meatloaf, potatoes and peas) and brings it to me as a gift, is she flirting with me in her way or just being nice to a guy she likes?

This is a tought question. Every woman is different. If she is cooking for you then she probably likes you...Ask her out...Wait is she a good cook?:glow::glow:

Its confusing for girls, too.

It is one thing to flirt online, using only words on the screen, then flirting in person. In person you get the body language and tone of voice. Removes quite a lot (not all) of the ambiguity.

For your example about your fave foods..... well it would depend. Did she fix you those things and bring them to you early on (the first 1-3 months) when you were dating? Probably flirting, and showing you how good a cook she is. Did she do it after you had been dating 4-6 months (assuming you were seeing each other regularly and communicating several times a week)? Then she was showing you she loves you.

What I have found is that with a flirt, when someone starts it illicits a response in the other, and pretty soon you are saying to yourself "Hey - this person is flirting with me!" If you respond and don't get a similar response back -- you got your signals crossed and no flirting was involved. Back up and go slower. JMHO

Godslamb. I was going to say something a little different, but then after reading your response, you hit the nail on the head! I think you're absolutely right.

I had a girl learn how to bake cheesecake so she could make me a birthday cheesecake last year because she knew I love cheesecake. I thought she was interested in me, but it turns out she just had an odd opinion of how friends act. Sometimes we just mix things up. It's ok.

I really not a big fan of giving a girl flowers, buying her presents, or taking her out to dinner right off the bat because it basically boils down to trying to buy a woman's time and affection.

As far as figuring out if a woman is flirting with you, it's hard to make a list. In general, I say just ask her out anyways, whether you know or not, and don't wait so long that you have lots of feelings wrapped up in it. If you like the first date, call her and ask her about a second. Either she'll accept or reject it, but at least you're going for what you want. You don't want her to stick around just for the gifts, flowers, dinners, movies, etc. though, so again, I think it's wise to avoid investing much money in a girl before you know where the relationship is headed. There's tons of cheap activities that are fun and make your time together more about enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other.

I think even for the most intuned man, it is helpful for women to put the bread crumbs really close together. :applause:

bread crumbs = signals and/or flirting

That's how I understood what the Rabbit said anyway.
