    So, just a bit earlier, I think this woman in my office gave me this super flirtatious smile. She's super cute too. :icon_bigg

    Earlier this week, I was wearing my rainbow bracelet, and she kept glancing at it, like she was thinking "hmm". So I think that my bracelet did a good job in outing me a little.

    I just wanted to share that happy little moment with you guys. :slight_smile:

    Does anyone else have fun flirty moments to share?

    Somehow I always succeed to flirt with males who turn out to be straight... damn, straight guys can be very cute! ;-) The fact that they are straight and flirt with you makes it very sweet.... :slight_smile:

    I'm starting get more comfortable flirting. I try for eye contact and the rest happens sort of naturally. Although sometimes I'm still terrible at flirting. But it's so much fun.

    I'm happy for you! I guess i needed to wear subtle rainbow symbol from now on..its hard when you're still in the closest. I bought this Ellen hat i don't know if there is any difference,I wore it once and my relatives didn't even notice about it hahaha

    Yeah I'm feeling like these little symbols can be really useful! I got a new bracelet in the mail as well, and thinking about wearing that one tomorrow.

    I love to flirt. I work in a retail setting so the opportunity can present itself often. A lot of co workers know about my sexual preference. The straight girls kinda like the attention... Of course, I'm not sure if that's a good thing... But, I work with this guy and we check out the girls together. He doesn't talk to any of them but I have slowly put myself out there. There was a customer that he saw and I agreed was cute. I ended up saying hi and my usual spill of can I help you. She had a great smile and pretty eyes. But, there came this moment in my mind of I'm not good enough. I was older than her and my body has a lot to desire :confused:..... Anyway, it can be fun :icon_bigg

    I love this post, green. I think lots of us feel insecure, but I bet you will feel less insecure as you keep moving forward with what is good for you. You're worth it. You deserve a kind person with pretty eyes. :slight_smile:

    As someone who becomes self conscious in unfamiliar social interactions, I feel like I'm just copying the social procedures that I see others act out without having a clue about the impetus behind any of it. So I feel like I'd suck at flirting - not that I've ever tried. I'm so bad that I can hardly tell when I'm being flirted with, though it's worse when a woman tries to flirt with me than a man (I think my limited gaydar helps with the latter). So, yeah... :icon_redf

    I think most flirting is done subconsciously, it's mostly eye contact and body language. You probably do just fine :slight_smile:

    A guy who works at my Starbucks whom I was pretty positive was gay had on a cute company pride pin. So I told him I liked it and he shared that he'd gotten it on his recent honeymoon. He seemed pretty tickled when I congratulated him. It was nice to have some queer contact, and just typing that feels kind of pathetic. I need an outlet... I need to flirt!!
