Is there an etiquette to flirting?
I am a “serial flirt”. And I love it. I am not looking for anything serious right now, so it’s basically how I get some giggles and smiles, ha. But what to do when a guy wants more? And I don’t feel that attraction? (I flirt with everyone, just can’t stop myself, but no one is very attractive to me lately.)
Is it because I’m flirting too much? I was just wondering if there’s a way to maybe not flirt so much so as to stop these guys thinking I’m really interested. Because I know of some who flirt A LOT and manage to evade the guys asking them out, which makes me worry I’m going overboard.
So, is there an etiquette to flirting? Am I meant to say at the outset - “hey, I’m going to flirt with you but please don’t take this to mean I want you!” How much is too much? I’m just trying to figure out where I should reign it …

I've been guilty of this at times with women and I am of two minds on the subject. My first inclination is to simply write it off and tell myself "I am not responsible for the the way some women interepret my actions!". On the other hand, I sometimes find myself feeling bad for the girl simply because I felt I misled her. So what's my official answer?
They're both correct.
Truth is that a balance has to be made within you to cope between your actions, and the consequences of your actions whether warranted or not. Simply put, if you honestly don't care what others think or feel... don't change. You're behaiving in the way that best suits you and that beats pretending. But, if you find yourself honestly feeling bad for these guys... just try taking it down a notch or two. Flirting with people can make you feel powerful at times but taken too far can be hurtful. Choice is yours to make.

Maybe you'll just have to be honest when a guy tries to close in for more. Saying something like "I'm really flattered, but I'm not looking for anything serious right now!" would be truthful and tactful all at once. As long as you don't lead someone on or give the wrong impressions, all is good. I'll admit that when I was single, whenever I used to be at the bar I'd flirt back to anyone who initiated it, but because I wasn't really looking at that time, I always ended it by blowing a kiss and leaving without a phone number, just the last words of "If it's fated, then you'll see me again."
