guys are basically stupid. my gf told me that I flirted with her all time  before we were together and I had no clue. I guess I  wasn't trying so I didn't think I was.

wow.. it depends on how well you know each other. if you just meet the guy and start.. he'll think you're easy. ..if you've been friends.. by flirting he might think you like him.. but at least he knows you're not easy. and.. if you ever need some practice..  ;)

well, to me a good flirt is when i'm hanging out with a friend and you both know it's more, but don't do anything about yet...the more i wait the better it will feel when i finally become an item with the guy.\nAlso:play hard-to get... and make her laugh a lot...be a friend to her, so she'll know you're not going only into her pants...(unless you are)

It's best to think they're just being friendly rather than think that everyone is flirting with you.  That way you will always act natural and be yourself and guys will love that, I think.

well, the best thing for you to do is give her space. yes you might like her a lot, but when she says she wants to be friends right now, she means she wants to be friends right now. let her get to know you better. dont ask her out again..at lease not for a while. if you ask her out again, it will just cause her to say no! you'll know if she is interested in you because she will show signs of flirting. when she starts to flirt with you periodically, then ask her out on a date and maybe things will go farther! hope this helps!

immediately begin giving subtle hints to send the impression that you like him that way, and start with the smallest kind of hints you can think of. gradually increase the frequency and obviousness of your hints over the next 2 - 3 months, till he either sends you a clear signal he's not interested, or allows your advances to continue into a relationship. If he reciprocates your advances with advances of his own, it is very likely that a strong bond will develop, and you can accelerate your advances.\n\nHaving said that, some people prefer that others just come right out and say it clearly and unmistakenly, but this forces a judgemental decision that often turns bad. If he asks you a direct question, such as "do you like me that way?" answer directly, truthfully and thoughtfully, making your intentions as clear as possible. He will probably respect you for your honesty, and if he is not interested in that way your friendship will flourish as a result of such honesty.

There is probably no clear way, as all people are different. some become shy, others flirty, some even become almost mean so that they dont blow their cover.\nIf you really think he has a little thing for you, try being really nice to him, encourage him (if you like him obviously) and see how he reacts. pretend you're picking off a piece of grass from his shirt, or tuck his shirt tag in and see what he does..the sense of touch is powerful. does he laugh at your jokes? does he pay attention when you speak? does he respond to your questions. \none way is also to ask friends.. but it all depends, some people might not like that. if you're brave, ask him, but you might feel bad if he says no. or maybe he will be too shy to admit it. but you should just try to get closer to him.. does he get nervous?\ni dont know how old you are but age also makes a difference to what you can do. see if he is eager to go out with you or your friends. become friends with his friends, and see what they tell you. guys don't talk about these things as much as girls do, but the friends usually know. and who knows maybe your guy is talkative. maybe he made a comment to your friends about your looks or how nice you are.\n\nin the end there is no surefire way, but there are always little hidden signs. but if you're interested in him, then remember that guys are shy too and you have to be nice to him and encourage him to come out with it. or be brave and do it yourself!!! Good luck!

When a guy smiles at you, smile back. When he asks for your number, if you want to, give it to him. If he asks to buy you a drink, let him. We guys know when you're flirty, and when you're not. Just relax! It's like riding a bike, you NEVER forget how.....and flirting is a whole lot more fun than riding a bike!!

How to tell if he likes you \n(and if he's flirting with you in his special own guy-way).\n\nA lot depends on the type of guy and his individual personality.\n\nHe might start talking loudly in your presence or start treating you as one of the guys. (Yes, this is a weird way to show he likes you, but it's one of the most common and strongest signals!) \nHe might also become very shy and mumble when he speaks to you. \nThen again, he could behave like a real Casanova, praising you for no apparent reason and straining hard to hold a sustained intelligent conversation (often ending in him asking for your phone number or for a date) \nIf he is acting more flirtatious toward you than toward other people at the same event \nIf his friends are paying attention to you when he isn't around (often a clue that this guy talked to his or her friends about you). \nIf he always seems to be around (especially if you get the "instinct" that he's there because of you) \nIf he is smiling while listening to you, and seems to be listening especially "actively" \nIf he seems to look into your eyes a little longer than normally. \nIf he remembers stuff you said before and brings it up again (asking questions about something you mentioned in the past ) - shows he's interested in you \nTesting Your Suspicions: \nIf you think a guy likes you (trust your gut instinct, girls) but you can't be totally sure, try this: Give him your best smile. If he smiles back, or his face suddenly lights up, tah dah! He likes you. If he starts sweating and looks all flustered, he likes you even more. If his smile is the polite kind, or if he frowns or looks away, that's a bad sign that maybe he isn't interested in you after all.\n\nHow To Tell If He Likes You As A Friend Or Something More:\n\nIt's all in how he looks at you. If he looks at you in the eyes, he likes you as a friend. If he looks at your lips, he can't wait to kiss you!\n\nAnd if you can't wait until he asks you out, ask him out! Guys appreciate it when girls ask them up and set up the date and give them a break from setting up all the dates. He'll appreciate you even more if the date is fun and unique!

Some guys like the "Art of Flirtation".  They literally practice on you just to get it right.  And they LOVE that you respond to it.  \n\nOther guys are just too shy to go up and say they are interested in you, yet forward enough to actually flirt. If this is the case, you might have to ask him out.

depending on the guy, some signs are obvious,\nhe looks at you\nsmiles at you\nteases you\nfinds any reason to talk to you\ntalks to his friends about you\nTo be sure you have to ask him.

just go for it you only live one time and if you flirt all the time you both must just be scared to take the next move, but dont worry if he is a goood friend then he will let you know if that is all he wants (friends) or he will let you know if he wants to be more.good luck!

Well, I'm a man and this is how I see it.\n\nIt all depends on the guy himself.. personally when I 'send mixed signals' I am usually interested in the girl. I will show a little interest first but then 'back off' a little - first of all as it intrigues them - like 'does he like me? or not?' and secondly it demonstrates that I am no pushover, ie: a challenge.\n\nSo it could well be because he DOES like you.. flirting is never as simple as it should be (!). However there is a chance that it could be because he is NOT SURE whether he likes you or not. Then he will give you conflicting signals as a way of keeping distance between you until he can decide what he wants.\n\nIt could be either really, its up to you to read the situation. You should be able to tell.\n\nHope this helps.

You know when you're flirting.  Don't worry about it.  Just be real with him and hang out like normal friends.  He won't think anything of it as long as you truely aren't hitting on him.

you will know if he is interested in you if he smiles at you and is always looking at you real quick then looking away real fast  before you make eye contact....... or if he is with his friends and then he starts talking to you. IF any of these things happen to be the case then do then same back and start talking to him more often..... if he makes short comments back on what you say instead of making it more lengthier for a conversation to start...... then he is obviously not interested. But, if he talks alot and trys to make you laugh, smiles alot, and stuff like that then his is interested.... just start flirting and see what happens...... there's nothing here to lose because it's not like you guys are together..... yet

Don't expect anything concrete from this guy first.  looks like he's way too confused about what he wants to settle down.  Just agree when he says he doesn't want a relationship.  If saying "let's just be friends" riles him up, forego it.
