Uh, flirting- what an amazing thing, huh? It was something we find so amazing -and complicated, as far as tactics are concerned, at the same time- that we here at Pillowfights decided to put it to a vote last week.

Flirting can happen anywhere, at any time, and most of all, with anyone. It can happen totally for the sake of having fun, but also it can be something with meaning; if, that is, you’re really lucky.

We all have a rather distinct definition in mind for the word flirting – chatting with someone you find attractive and teasing them up playfully.

But since we’re talking about people, us folks rarely have the same tastes for everything around us. This also seems to be the case with flirting; our characters and our limitations in love, adjust and state our preferences in it.

So how do you want the other person to be like when he/she’s flirting with you?

First, with 13% we have our romantic folks. There is something sweet about romance in flirting, we get it! You want the tender words, the gentle movements and gestures, the kind words. I really think you guys are old-school material; nothing too straightforward, or too over the top as far as procedure goes. You just want to be acknowledged, to know that you have an admirer and that’s it! The rest is up to fate…

Second, with 34%, come the sexy/kinky folks. Well, no matter how much we try to deny that we’re thinking about sex, we know that’s not the case. You not only want the other to be straightforward, but you want them saucy and hot. The conversation must be kept around sex just to drive your imagination wild along with temptation. Can’t say that you don’t have a point here- after all, actions go beyond words! And you have to taste the other before you try them, right?

The third choice with 38% involves those who like it mysterious. You don’t want an open book from the very start. You want the story to reveal itself slowly, at the right time. Some details may be alright at the moment; but not too much. It’s not about hiding things, it’s about saying the right things at the right time. Good for you.

The fourth choice was for the difficult flirting; apparently no one chose it as a way to flirt (0%). I’d say this sounds logical – after all, what’s the fun in someone difficult to approach?  It’s an established point that flirting is supposed to be fun and not rocket science level difficult. It’s not being hard to get, it’s about being hard to be approached and hard to communicate with other people. Well, none of you chose it and I might say you did the right job.

The final choice for today’s topic describes the situation when no one is actually flirting with you, taking the 6% of your votes. You may not be up for it, you may want to stay single or you may not know what you want. Whatever your explanation is, it is fine. After all, there are times in which we can all accept that flirting doesn’t need to exist in the first place. You go out, you have fun alone or with your friends and that’s it. Just make sure that you enjoy yourself, that’s a good choice too!

Well, whatever your choice may have been, make sure, first of all, to have fun, and give a chance to someone to get to know you. This stranger now, can be your one and only one day; you never know what can happen. By keeping yourself at a distance you may avoid the pain, but what you can’t avoid is loneliness!

So get your best clothes out, fix your hair (and make-up if you’re a girl) and knock them dead! Cheers!
