A friend of mine, who is newly single, recently admitted that she's afraid to put herself out there again because she's a terrible flirt. But as someone who knows her well, I can attest that she is in fact selling herself short. However, I have been witness to terrible flirtation before. Not only is it awkward to watch, it's embarrassing if you're on the receiving end. I've always been a great flirt — not sure if that's a good quality to posses or not — but what about you?

People think I'm flirting even when I'm not...ha.
1My boyfriend (now ex) told me that I'm flirtatious in everything I do, to everyone and everything I know. He claimed he's seen me flirt with children and puppies just as much as a member of the opposite sex. It took a major argument to figure out that he meant this as a compliment lol.
2Oh, I'm good
I tend to be subtle though.
3Not sure if you'd call me a good or bad flirt; my friends say I'm quite flirtatious but I don't even realize it. It totally boggles me 'cause the whole idea of flirting actually embarrasses the heck out of me.
Like if I were to find a cute guy I could never pursue him and do the
whole flirting dialogue. I'd feel like a silly duck.. 
4Wasn't there something almost exactly like this posted within the last couple of weeks?
5I'm a good flirt if I'm interested in the right person. If it's somebody who's not on the same intellectual or humor level, then it's probably not going to work anyway. But in general I don't see flirting as something I "do well". I'm not an all-purpose flirt, I'm very selective!
6I've been told I'm naturally flirtatious. This was news to me despite the fact that I've always had a problem attracting unwanted attention from guys I'm not interested in, lol. Now I know that it was (unintentionally) my fault. Oh well.
7I can make a chick giggle and blush herself to sleep.
8Only if it's unintentional... Like KadBunny, I can't do it on purpose...
9Oh man, I'm such a bad flirt. Luckily, I'm off the market, but I can never think of anything clever to say around guys and I'm usually fairly oblivious to people dropping hints around me. Even when my husband and I were dating, I would try to flirt with him and it usually came off as being awkward.
10I'm not really a flirtatious type of person, but I never had a problem talking to a guy who I was interested in.
11Can't even talk to people I like let alone flirt. Although sometimes I catch myself mid-flirt with people I totally don't mean to flirt with.
12I'm a natural flirt. But given that I'm married, I've toned that down.
But truthfully, it's about being a people person. I get along with women, too.
13I've always been unintentionally flirty, and as others have said, this sometimes gets me unwanted attention and in trouble! I don't even notice I am flirting though!
14ugh im a terrible flirt =( i dont know what i am doing...i overthink and i dont have a clue what to say its terrible im embarassed for myself hahaha oh if only there were a class that could correct all my errors in the flirtation department my life would be complete...and it totally doesnt help that im single oh my life
15I have been unintentionally flirty, I just really think of it being nice, but somehow that translates into a guy thinking I'm feeling him, eeks. But I feel like I'm not good at it, I get extremely dorky and shy esp of it is a guy I am interested, I will try to joke but it seems to fail. I know I'm naturally funny and okay with people who know me, but with guys..I get a bit shy.
16I'm terrible if I try, but I honestly don't realize I'm flirting. I had someone come up to me and tell me, "I saw you flirting with _______ in history."
17I'm a "natural" flirt. However, when I try to flirt, I used to be pretty good at it. Wait.... now that I think about it. The guy initiated it. LOL. Okay so when I try to flirt, I just clam up. Eh... I dunno what happens.
18i flirt and i dont even know it. its automatic to me -- sometimes. HAHAHA.
19I am just a generally outgoing person, which can be taken as flirting even though it might not be...lol
20A lot of people have told me I'm a big flirt but I've never realized that even when I'm not trying to do it.
21I am a good 'passive flirter'. Meaning I usually just smile or something, and the guy comes up to me and starts flirting.
22I always get accused of flirting even when I'm not trying to so I must be good at it when I actually put some effort into it. I can lay it on pretty thick when I want to and it always works and it's fun too!
23Depends.
24All my friends tell me I'm a complete flirt. I try NOT to flirt, rather than the opposite. But even that I fail at. So au naturel at flirting!
25I naturally tend to have fun and enjoy people's company. some co-workers say I am a bad boy - I'm 45! We laugh, but they know we can poke fun and all is fine. A woman made a pass at me and bklushed when I turned around and she realized I heard what she said. I did that to a woman once and she giggled, esp. when I turned to "see" if she caught me. She did!
26It kinda depends on the situation and person for me, sometimes with certain people i can be really flirtatious, but with some people it's kind of a flop. & often I flirt without even realizing im doing it, until my friends are like "what are you doing, i hate that kid!" haha
