This happened to me when I went to the grocery store a little while ago...
The cashier says: what are you doing tonight?
Me: Got work to do
Cashier: Darn, the guy in front of you was looking for someone to hang out with (he was at the ATM pad)
Me: what are you doing (to the guy)
Guy: Drinking :P
Cashier: Did you say alcoholic?
Guy: I know some alcoholics and I am one too. Then he left
Cashier: Did he just admit to being an alcoholic? That's weird.
Do you have a hard time telling sometimes if someone is being friendly or flirting?
I sure do. As recent as yesterday. Was buying some clothes. Coversation with the female worker went something like this.....
General small talk then talking about the clothes. As I was paying for the clothes, she says "What are you upto after this?, going home to relax?". Wouldn't be interested in her romantically, even if I was single.
But was left wondering whether she was hitting on me or just being friendly.
I think sometimes there is a fine line between the two.
Depends if I'm drinking.
Sober- I usually have a hard time figuring out if a guy is just being friendly. I'm pretty friendly and tend to be nice and a bit chatty to people who try to make small talk, so I usually assume a guy is just doing the same unless he comes out with it.
Drinking-No clue. When I have a drink or two in me, all I care about is laughing/joking and having a good time with the people I'm around. There's been many times when I'm sitting at the bar and having a fun conversation with someone and laughing my butt off having a good time, and all of a sudden he'll suggest we should go somewhere/get together sometime/or gives me his number/asks to kiss me. I'm sure my jaw dropped out of surprise because I was just focused on having fun and not flirting.
Do you have a hard time telling if someone is being friendly or flirting?
According to my wife, "Yes".
She finds it funny that I don't recognise when i'm being flirted with. I've always just thought it was friendliness. She says it took her a good year of solid flirting on her part before I asked her out. Even then I was surprised when she said yes.
I interpret it as an innocent question. I would ask most people that I was having a basic conversation with. "Big plans this evening?" Or "What are you up to tonight; anything fun?" Something like that.
Guess I need to rethink that. lol
Yes you should. I see this ONLY from women who apparently can't resist prying into someone's life just to be friendly. It is poor form for a stranger or acquaintance (which would include most work colleagues) unless they want to go out. Otherwise it's cheap voyeurism, nosy and presumptuous (that I would share personal details with a stranger).
Its very simple, if her top was off, and she asked the question, made the statement, then she's flirting, if she's wearing a turtle neck, and asks, then its not flirtatious.
So, to summarize:
If a man you know quite well asks "What perfume you wear" you say and he says "Smells nice, thats all!!!" Is he flirting or being friendly?
Would a man ask a woman what her perfunme was just being friendly,????
Guys?????? Answers please.
Most likely he is interested/flirting......if he had clarified his reason for asking, oh wanted to know for my SO or sisters birthday etc, it would be different......
