why do think girls stop flirting with you if start flirting back?

either she's playing hard-to-get or she fears committment.  when there's a guy you can't have, it's sometimes *so* ridiculously appealing, because a) it's forbidden and b) there's no risk of getting close and getting hurt.  I'm not sure about your particular case, but this is true for me and a lot of the people I know.

Aww, I honestly think there is nothing wrong with flirting with people.  It's human nature, at least in my own opinion.  That doesn't make it always right though.\n\nAnyway, maybe you could tell her that you are sorry about the signs that led her on-that you were just being friendly and did not intend for anything more.  Let her know you like her as a friend, nothing more. \n\nI agree with everyone in that you should do this as soon as possible.  It is time for her to move on, and she needs to know so she can heal.

Flirting is the attempt to let someone know you like them but with deniability.  If  they don't like you back, you want to be able to pretend that you didn't actually like them.  You were kidding or they misunderstood.  You are just friends.....blah, blah, blah.\n\nThat is pathetic and neurotic and isn't what flirting is supposed to be.  A high quality person does not do this.  A high quality person, man or woman, knows what they want and goes after it and does not care what anyone else thinks about it.  They like you?  They walk up to you and tell you.  You don't like them back?  That is literally, nothing to them.  They are giving you an opportunity, not supplicating to you like a boot licking slave.  They want to be with you because they want to and they care about you and think you might want that to.  But, they don't HAVE to be with you.  It does not effect them negatively if you say no.  It does not say anything about who they are either way.  If you turn them down, don't be surprised to see them walking off with someone else, 10 minutes later.  They chose you first but they have MANY options and there are plenty of fish in the sea.  Also, they aren't mad at you about it and won't mistreat you if you come around later (women do this all....the....time...when you approach them).\n\nNow, what is flirting supposed to be?  Flirting is the art of subtly turning your partner on and then increasing it more and more and more by taking two steps forward and then one step back to drive them crazy with desire. It's what you do to make the sex you have with them later, something very pleasurable.

Flirting is a fun game. The highest form I know is hinting at the indescribable pleasures to be had in a relationship with you, and not letting on like your object is even in the running. They'll come to you as curious as a kitten to a paper bag. Don't act desperate, that's a turn-off. Act like you have All The Time In THe World and are in no hurry. They won't be able to stand not having this fun you're hinting at. Good luck.

They simply say this statement because they want to keep you holding on to their balls but really they are afraid of commitment and don't want to let you know because they know they will lose you. I think if they flirt and talk to other women though, you should not distrust them. I think flirting is nature and I don't care what anyone says, everyone does it from time to time. So go out there and do it in front of him and see what he has to say about it.

Depends upon guy to guy.\nSome like and others not. No universal rule on this.\nBUt believe me most guy dont like gals who r flirting in nature, they just use her and after that dump her.

It depends on the woman. Some girls are totally outgoing and try to flirt with the guy they want. Others are really shy and nervous and are afraid of saying or doing something stupid.

All girls are different but if a girl really likes you she'll find an excuse to be around you way more than before. She'll laugh at things you say that noone else does. She'll go out of her way to hang out with you and be nice to you.

If someone had a good answer for this then the mystery that are women would be solved.  Some guys think that just because a girl is nice to them then the girl likes them.  This is not always the case, a lot of the time girls are nice just because they don't want to be mean.  If the girl flirts with you a lot and touches you a lot then she probably likes you.  \n\nMy advice is be friendly and show genuine interest in the girl you like.  But if you are only trying to get some action then you probably wont get anywhere.

She might be playing with your mind and your heart. Sometimes, girls think it's fun to make guys confused about her feelings for him. But, then again, she might like you, but is afraid to take the next step. Obviously, she flirts with you and pays attention to every little thing you do, but maybe she's not sure if she wants to be anything more. As a girl, I'm scared of taking the next step. Sure, flirting is fun, but committing to a relationship is scary. It just depends on what kind of girl she is. She could just be playing you, or she could be afraid of a relationship.

they still tease you because they are getting an effect out of you.\n\nensure you have taken full responsibility for what happened back then and just be comforable and easy when you are teased.  then they see they can't get an effect and will stop.

Short answer:  Cause MOST guys don't talk to girls and smile unless they are attracted to them.  \n\nNow are you saying that flirting is bad, or that you're just smiling and not flirting?  I think most guys can tell the difference between flirting and just talking/smiling; flirting involves more playfulness, different kinds of eye contact, maybe a little touch occasionally, etc.  If a guy can't tell the difference between flirting and just talking and smiling, then he doesn't understand women.\n\nFlirting doesn't mean that you are attracted to the guy, but if a guy is cocky (which usually means he's not that bright), he'll just assume that flirting means you are attracted to him.  \n\nI like a girl that I work with, and she flirts with me like crazy...but has a boyfriend.  I know she likes hanging out with me, but I'm smart enough to know that she may just like me as a friend.  Thing is, her smiles are accompanied by that "I wanna ---- you" look.  Big difference from a normal smile.

For some reason I feel like I'm doing something wrong, when I'm really not. It's their fault, not mine, especially if I tell them that I'm taken and they keep flirting. Then I feel like I should tell my guy, but I'd rather not start a fight, so now I feel like I'm hiding something. And that's not a good feeling. So usually I end up telling him. It makes ME look bad when someone flirts with me and I'm already taken.

flirting is not always a bad thing, but be careful... It makes people feel good when another thinks that they are cute. But don't give off the wrong signals you could put yourself in danger..

not really, its the classic way every person starts flirting, little boys in grade school always hit and pick on the girls they like, that just must be your way of flirting, i would try to think about it when you are around them and you are trying to flirt not to get into a heated arguement but saying something kinda sly or something unexpected
