S/O of another post. Got me thinking how do people flirt nowadays? I'm not dating yet but I've been married for so long I feel really rusty!

Let's say you meet a man that you are interested in and who has indicated that he is into you, how do you flirt to show him that you are interested back? What if you want to show him that you are interested first, before he has shown interest in you?

For the guys, when you meet a woman what kind of flirting gets your attention if she is the first one showing interest or if you have already given her signs?

I'm a horrible flirt.

I think if I know a guy is interested (and I'm interested in return), I'm likely to just approach him, or increase the amount of eye contact I make, etc.

While dating, flirting to me is having fun, good conversation, laughing, smiling, etc.

Okay so how do you "just approach a guy" once you know he's interested? Gosh this whole dating scene seems confusing. Hey I did say I'm rusty but even that was an understatement!

I'm a horrible flirt unless it's someone I'm comfortable with before I even think of flirting, then I'm pretty bold about it. I've only flirted with a couple since the D but one of them can read me like an open book.

He will say," What are you thinking, Gma ?" Yep the man knows me well.
I'm too shy to flirt with someone I just met. Maybe I would flirt back if he flirts with me first. I definitly lost the art of flirting...married too many years.
