Flirting: The Ways of Attraction
Some flirt through words, others flirt with style, while many tend to flirt more physically. Flirting has been defined as a behavior that is aimed to sexually or romantically engage another. Flirting can be sincere or it can be manufactured. Humans flirt for a variety of reasons. According to a 2015 study by the University of Kansas, there are 5 identifiable styles to flirt.
POLITE
This flirting style often goes undetected. The cool, detached and a rather formal way of showing interest is by simply acting polite. Perhaps they open the door, pick up your dropped item from the floor or assist you with your napkin, this approach does not really initiate much no matter the level of attraction.
SINCERE
They look you in the eye and listen. The sincere flirt genuinely wants to get to know you and what you are all about. They listen intently and make eye contact with you and give you an elevated level of attention.
PLAYFUL
Don't have the player, hate the game. This is the motto for this style of flirting. It's a game. It's a test. The aggressive flirt that might not have any real intention except to have fun. I highly suggest you listen to this song when you encounter such an advance.
TRADITIONAL
The most flirtatious of them all. They enjoy flirting so much that they do it even though they are attached. Sometimes they don't even know they are until someone points it out. This is a natural way of communicating with them. Sometimes it's harmless and other times, well.
PHYSICAL
Let's get physical, physical. The name says it all. The physical flirt enjoys making contact with their attraction, even if it's subtle. They are very accessible or may stand a bit closer than normal to you. The Physical Flirt uses less words and more action.
