What do you define as flirting?

[Cyndia]

So one of my close friends went off on me last because she was REALLY mad at me because she thought I'd been flirting with her boyfriend yesterday. I definitely am not interested in him at all and I didn't think what I was doing was flirting. We'd run into each other at a party all 3 of u were at last night and had been talking excitedly about Brett Favre joining the Vikings (me and him are HUGE vikings fans). His gf isn't into sports so she didn't really join in the conversation, she was just standing there while he and I talked for like a good half hour, so I could understand why she might have been annoyed he was kind of ignoring her, but it pisses me off that she accused me of flirting with him when all I was doing was talking about sports.

This has happened to me a few times before where another girl has told me to back off of their guy when I'd had no intention of going after them. I'm just a teasing person by nature, but I really don't see the things I say as flirting. Which brings me to my question of what exactly do you define as flirting?

Personally I think its when the girl is openly showing interest, like touching the guys arm unnecessarily, laughing at things that ARENT that funny, etc.

I like to think doing anything is flirting.
but thats because i like to be a ***** and annoy my friends by telling them they fancy someone :)

I'd say people use different ways of flirting but it seems this is more jealousy because ye were happy and chatting away about Vikings and she felt out of place and could not really do anything about it.

It depends on body action during normal conversations as well as it can be sending small signals out :D

reffering to sexual acts in the medium of talking

[MrGazet]

to me,flirting is like you go up to someone,have intimate conversation,touching her arm...doing things to get her attention and laugh out alot.
i reckon that your friend is a bit jealous,you gotta talk to her nicely bout this as it could ruin your friendship

idk I get in trouble for "flirting" with the wrong people all the time even when I'm not meaning to. I think it's the attitude rather than the act that should be seen as flirting or not

ahh just seems like jealousy to me.. she may have been jealous that you had her bfs attention for so long and he was really into the conversation..

flirting to me though is telling someone they're fit.. good looking.. and they go on and on.. about things such as they'd like to do stuff with them etc...

i think it's more the way you're talking to them than what you are saying

my best mate and my ex ((when i was with her) always used to flirt with each other

:| pee'd me off so bad

he would like hit her on her arm and start running away making her chase him
then they would play fight etc

he said sorry to me though and told her to **** off.. then i ditched her :D
