Probably how I feel about the one doing the flirting/come on.

IMHO - even innocent 'harmless' flirting can lead somewhere, given the appropriate situation.

it was a fine line in my case ended up marring the fool ..lol

flirting is one thing it's beating arround the bush having fun and can be harmless..
a come on is a deliberate attempt to tempt someone into the sack I don't mind a comeon but when it's so glaringly obvious that the guy making it is a creep/predator out looking to use someone and not always in a good way. i personally hate obvious bullshit that someone will spew at me and expect me to believe it.
alright rant done

Don't know, depends on who else is around and how 'safe' the situation feels. It's the difference between some harmless joking around, that might never lead anywhere, and a "come up for coffee" type situation where it's going to be just the two of you.

I wouldnt have a clue

go mom

Flirt = comfortable and fun
Blatent come on = icky

OK, sorry I think I missed the point - do you mean online?
(I still have this bizarre fantasy that one day I might actually manage to have real sex with another human being :)
Erm, I can't really say for this site - a joking comment on a public thread is harmless, but I definitely wouldn't want to get any explicit private messages or invitations to meet up, that would be crossing the line. Anything in between, I'll judge on an individual basis.

i'm with ya pheonix
I have decided that 5 years is long enough to go without.
I have that same bizzare fantasy

I guess it depends on if it is something that you want to do.

Alot of people are just flirts by nature :)

There is a gal at my office and we constantly say flirty things to each other.We both know that we are joking around just being silly. The flirty stuff is just that...flirty stuff. It makes for a lot of fun and laughs and that's all that is it is.

Faerie is right...

basically, if it breathes, I flirt with it.

I'M a natural flirt!!!! I flirt with everyone!!! I like people!!!! I like to make people laugh, I like them to have fun, I like them to feel liked, and I like them to like me!!!
The point at which it becomes something more is if it were something that, if you were in a relationship with someone else, you either wouldn't do in front of them, or wouldn't want them to know about!!

I am a very straight forward girl. If someone was coming onto me, and is hinting and playing games.........I just flat out say "Are you attracted to me, or ask if they are hitting on me." I hate games. Teasing is fun. But, why talk when you can act.

I love flirting! can't help it..

A come on can be a little much, but flirting, flirting is a good way to get to know someone and who knows!!
