Flirting is an art form, something that takes time for both men and women to refine. Unfortunately, some forms of flirtation are considered unacceptable, which will be covered in this article. When done right, in the right situation, and with the right person, flirtation is a highly valuable tool in letting another person know there is interest but when done wrong, it can be disastrous.
Acceptable flirting behaviors: Involves a single person flirting with another single or unattached person. This behavior also involves flirting in a subtle way that lets the man or woman know there is interest without being vulgar or irresponsible. For instance, if a woman is sitting in a nice restaurant and notices a man she would like to meet, she could smile or gently touch his arm. These methods of flirtation are fine.
Unacceptable Flirtation: The thing to remember with unacceptable flirtation is that what is deemed "unacceptable" will vary from one person to the next. Therefore, you need to use good judgment based on each encounter. The best way to determine if your flirtation is appropriate is to toss out some general comments to test the water. Once you see how the woman responds, you will have a much better idea of the direction to take.
