Responding to Flirting.....

any funny comebacks you’ve heard or said to a man or woman that was flirting with you? flirting is an art but responding is also an art of sorts

i googled some but most of the comebacks are harsh ones to stupid pickup lines. usually run or get annoyed by someone trying to flirt but for the most part it’s harmless if both know very well it’s flimsy flirting.

i know there were other threads but they saw flirting as a negative thing…not talking about online flirting :rolleyes:

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

Are you referring to general banter (flirty type)? Or an obvious pickup attempt?

Women don't usually try to pickup men, they just give the googly eyes, play with their hair etc. I've only had two girls hit on me straight up and I just responded like a jackass both times.

First time it in the 8th grade and she was a friend of mine and she plainly said, "you're cute" and I just kind of looked at her weird and she quickly said "ok fine, you're not" and went quiet. I felt bad and awkward.

Second time was in the 12th grade and a friend's sister, again, randomly told me I was cute and I again, kind of froze and just stared at her. She was more confident though and turned around to everyone and informs them that she told me I was cute but I didn't like her. Funny girl, but I guess I hadn't really made in progress in receiving the flirting lol.

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

but as an adult you know at the university or after getting a good job, you see a beautiful woman, you've never flirted with her in the nonvirtual world? i am not talking about just a stare or smile but with actual charming words? not talking about car salesman type of pickup lines

how in world do women put in the effort to come up with something to say when they are flirted with.

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

^Effort? I don't think it's "laborious" to come up with a response. And some women are just quick in coming up with a witty and quick response. People differ in how they interact with one another. I don't think that flirtatious responses should have to be googled. Better to be yourself....anything that is unnatural...will come across as trying too hard....which isn't attractive and can be awkward.

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

Also, I think it's a lot trickier to determine what is considered flirting. For example, is banter (virtual or non-virtual) considered flirting? Are people always aware of when they're flirting? If not, then I think that can cause problems.

Re: Responding to Flirting…

Flirting, what’s that and how does one go about flirting? :halo:

Re: Responding to Flirting…

Women: Sit back and look pretty and show non verbal interest.

Men: Cross the room, everyone is staring at you, put your manhood on the line, and hope she doesn’t crush you into oblivion in front of the entire world and that the resulting soul crush does not consume your entire life.

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

Oh is that how you came to be a ghost?

Re: Responding to Flirting…

i used to think it was annoying when a guy tried it with me.

in the nonvirtual world give me an example of some you said to a guy saying something like “do you want to hookup?” :hehe: actual line that came at me the way i reacted was one of being irritated, wrong reaction

Re: Responding to Flirting…

go ahead tell me some responses or lines that were used on you. tell all please and i’m talking nonvirtual ones.

Re: Responding to Flirting…

:rotfl:

As a guy, I would say just respond politely. Something along the lines of “thanks for the compliment but I don’t date/do that etc”. This is not just for flirting but in any situation in which people are being jackasses. Being really polite makes them feel shamed (in most cases) whereas acting like a b-word just makes the guy go, “I knew she was a b-word”. Plus, you don’t want to crush his soul and turn him into a ghost.

Re: Responding to Flirting…

:khumar: Yes, please do.

Re: Responding to Flirting…

LOL, I wasn’t aware that there was a standard right/wrong reaction. If you were annoyed…you were annoyed. If it got the message across and he left you alone…it worked.

Re: Responding to Flirting…

i didn’t act like a b-word :naraz: i just didn’t put any effort into a funny response.

it was an immature response on my part.
how would you react to it? any funny response by you, i’m not going to use it but just give me an example of what you would say…you’re a riot with some of your funny comments. tell me plz

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

When I was in high school, this is what used to happen:

Guy - "Hey beautiful."

Me - puts head down, starts to blush, and keeps walking, making the guy look like a total jerk

Lol, I don't why why I've always been the same, like I always had to know the guy before flirting.

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

Sehrysh will respond with a line of mushkil urdu that leaves the guy dumbfounded for a few seconds. While he stands there trying to decipher the Urdu.....she takes off her lambi heel wali jooti and pounds a hole into his skull. Then she's out the door.....with her red chatri in her hand.....off to the church where she will thank the Good Lord for making her strong enough not to succumb to the temptation of flarting....and then she'll promise to do 15 Hail Marys as penance for injuring a fellow human being.

Re: Responding to Flirting…

that sounds like how Sehrysh would be going by her online comments. cho cute :hehe:

that’s the standard response by desi women, blush, act shy, smile…no words come out of the mouth or atleast my mouth
boring :hinna:

Re: Responding to Flirting.....

^If it's too boring, then you can always spice things up by screaming "Bachaaao bachaaao!!!"

Re: Responding to Flirting…

:bummer: oh forget i asked anything. i’ll let the thread go up to thread heaven now

online flirt comebacks are nothing like nonvirtual flirt comebacks, the online variety gives you so much time to respond, we can even edit it, the nonvirtual has to be thought of right then

Re: Responding to Flirting…

Am I that predictable :faizy:
