verb:
1. The act of getting the interest of another person, usually of the opposite
gender, without putting thought into it before doing it, and capturing that person'
s attention. A function of an individual'
s personality.
2. What an individual is doing when he or she flirts without even knowing his or her actions are perceived as some type of
flirt, whether it be simply making a wise crack for a smiling; or, with direct eye contact and raised eyebrows, a simple innocent
flirt could be perceived as having a more romantic tone.
Either way, over time, it can lead to serious attraction.
Women discuss how a guy is so funny and he'
s such a flirt.
He thinks he can't flirt and he completely misses that he is perceived that way by a majority of
women with which he comes into contact each
day. All he knows is that he makes wisecracks that get a laugh from the ladies and he loves an audience, the smaller the better. What he does is subconscious flirting, and he
may be perceived as a persistent, non-stop, incessant flirt without intending to be.
Weeks, months, years or decades later, someone clues him in to the previously-existing or newly-found magnetic attraction.
