guy driving me crazy

[72jay]

Perhaps flirting comes naturally to some people, but for the "Late Bloomers" out there, uh, no so much...

That's pretty much what I was thinking LOL I've never flirted before so I'd have no idea what to do

It takes some practice, but probably more than that, a *willingness* to open yourself up like that. Later on, I found out it can be simply recreational and not always used to lead to something else. But you really need to be able to read the other person before you starting flirting just to be flirty...

That'd deff be one area where I'd have a problem I don't know if i could read someone like that and/or recognize them trying to flirt (although after seeing this thread it sure looks to me like GoodandBadenergies's friend is flirting/showing interest in him... so maybe i could recognize it for myself? ) Ofcourse there's then the part where I can't open myself up like that because I'm overly shy (that I can't change) plus I could never take the risk of letting someone know I was bi/gay (although I probably shouldn't say 'never' tho LOL because I do feel a bit more open than even last year)

I guess, now that I think about it, and as thread probably illustrates, successful flirting is mostly about reading the other person, trying to find a way to relate to them.

Yep, i'd say that's a good way to put it no doubt this has been a good thread though
