FLIRTING

1 At the beginning, there’s flirting. Flirting is a type of

2 playful communication involving both verbal and body

3 languages. The origin of the term may come from the

4 French conter fleurette. The reasons why people flirt

5 are various. It can be to hit on someone they fancy

6 and find attractive, as a way to show them they are

7 interested in sexual intercourse or in a relationship

8 with them. Flirting can also happen between friends

9 or colleagues as a way of bonding in a humourous

10 spirit. On a more negative side, some people flirt in

11 order to boost their self-esteem or to get a favour

12 from someone.

13 Flirting is partly about verbal behaviour, and the flirter

14 generally shows his or her romantic interest to the

15 ‘flirtee’ through various cues ranging from subtle to

16 blatant. Some still use cheesy pick-up lines such as

17 ‘Are you tired? Because you’ve been running through

18 my mind all day’, ‘You remind me of my next girlfriend’,

19 or ‘Do you believe in or should I

20 walk by again?’, but the (wiser) majority usually pay

21 compliments or rely on humour and jokes.

22 Beware of the English flirt, though. With Englishmen,

23 deducting information from verbal cues alone often
