Do you think, people might flirt differently depending on their type (amoung other reasons)?

What differences could you tell?

i suppose ESFs are going t be more comfortable in social situations as they try to avoid not being in them, so they happen to be alot smoother. but this is more in jsut the delievery, i can compare flirtations from an esfj and an intp and the efj just seemed to be able to flirt effortlessly. the intp always got laughed at by his friends. being flirted with always catches me of guard, reguardless of who it comes from.
its hard for me to flirt so its very vanilla, nothing special, except when i get a little too direct and come of kind of sleezy. :doh:
it also depends on the person i think, if you are attractd to someone you can either freeze up or feed on the adrenalin and become outspoken. i dont/cant flirt with strangers simply because it involves small talk.

I hate giggling. It makes me want to kill a kitten. That and ditziness. Whoever thought that a ditzy girl was attractive has issues. I'd say my flirting is more toward logical contradictions and playful correcting of the people around me.

which type is more prone to go directly to the person he/she likes (based on physical attirance) and starts flirting on an obvious way (physical touch, smiling looking in the eyes), while there's nothing yet between the 2 of them, except getting to know each other in a social situation?

ESFP is my best guess.

I was sure this type of answer would get out but this person I think of, is an NT.... for sure... more critical than him doesn't exist.

Don't rule out ESTPs. We're go getters! I don't believe in pickup lines, that is just way tacky and juvenile. If I have an interest in anyone for any reason I just go up and talk with them. If there was eye contact or something else in addition to my gut instincts/immediate desires even better. There's alot to flirting isn't there? I think the bulk of it is non-verbal. Once you get to talking you should know what direction things are going, at least I do. :yes:

I am good at flirting, but I really cant say now that I am good at flirting. I mean how would that sound ? Due to this circumstance, several circumstances follow, for example: while flirting I think, wow she is hot I should tell her. But I cant tell her that she is hot, how would that sound ? I would look like an idiot.

It's a vicious circle, really :D

I love crazy girls, they're so much fun - and they balance my social clumsiness. I suck at flirting though; if I'm not in a group of total strangers, I'll joke around everybody except for the chick I have a crush on. Bah, I surely have a long way to go.

I can do this, but it doesn't mean I'm good at doing it, ahah.

As a general rule, I both hate, and suck at flirting.

The more I care about someone, the less forthcoming I am with flattery, usually.

I do love to make people feel good, though, and that can come off as flirting, I think.

I tend to be a loooooot more flirtatious over the internet than in real life.

I think I might have a flirty disposition, though I am not, in actuality, a flirt, if that makes sense.

Sometimes, when in an especially chipper mood, I will flirt with people, both men and women alike, for fun.

Heheh I'm this way too!!

I get really coyish, smiley, talk less, shy, timid around a guy I find oozing with sexiness.. his personality, man hands, kind heart? I can't help it but to get all self-conscious. I wanna kick myself! :smile:

Figures why I never meet a nice shy guy, bc I'm shy with guys I'm attracted to.. Contrary to popular belief (garbage), I TRULY like nice guys! My dad was a nice guy. He made a strong impression of the types of guys who would treat a lady right! :yes: I love mi padre.. R.I.P.

If I try to make myself flirt, it doesn't work very well. It also doesn't work if I think he's not into me at least a little bit to begin with.

But when I meet a guy who seems fairly open to having a conversation, I get more energetic and giggly, and I tease him. I'm also prone to do a little bit of ego stroking and ask more questions about him. It's all really subtle though, not something I really notice at the time.

i'm not sure i can tell a type related difference...my guess would be that it would have more to do with confidence.

for me personally...it's not something i've really thought about. i just have a genuine reaction to people so...if somebody brings that out in me then i guess i do.

Extroverts tend to be more overtly flirty than introverts, (duh).

And feelers are just plain better at it! :newwink:

I'm not sure I even really know what flirting is.
