How do you flirt with a guy?

[InbetweenDreams]

Well not sure if I have any underlying condition. I have had (former) friends tell me they thought I might have aspergers syndrome, however I don't think I do nor do I think I have autism...I could possibly. I don't know that a diagnosis is necessary...I seem to otherwise get along fine....aside from anxiety and occasionally depression. Anxiety IS a problem for me, has been, probably will always be to a degree a problem. I am a bit up tight a lot, I take things literally (sometimes I miss jokes or when people are being silly, etc). That happens to me quite a bit actually.

Anyway, I suppose then I do flirt...

I definitely prefer to speak in person, especially when things just sort of click. It's also good when you can text, but say in a chatroom enviroment, when you're not limited. Like for instance. I can type up this post, I can fully express and idea or thought. I can put a lot of time into it, whereas texting, eh it's good to make arrangements, send pictures and some small talk, but trying to say type all this into a text message is very impractical.

The thing about texting of course is well how you read it. Am I being a smart ass or just being thorough and so on? Hmm I don't know. Sometime how people word things on here can really make you think someone is being an asshole and thus really come off really mean and rude. Happens a lot on here, hell I've gotten pretty steamed about things people say on here a few times.

I tried to go on a date with a guy who was from the Philippines. Nice guy but very quickly I could tell there is no way things would ever work. Just too foreign of a culture for it to really work for me. Just a totally different perspective, nothing against him. Kind of like the old days when you couldn't take a floppy disk from a Macintosh and use it in a PC, just simply didn't work.

I think a lot of what you mention parallels with intuition, because things like body language, facial expressions and so on really do have an effect on how we feel about someone, what their intentions are....whether they're good or bad and so on...
