Flirting or talking.

I can never tell if I'm flirting with someone or if someone is flirting with me. Help!

Dear Flirting or Talking,

Usually, if someone is interested in you, he is paging extra attention to you and looking into your eyes and teasing you in a nice wag. As for you, are you self-conscious and nervous and excited as you talk? Do you gush, ask questions and laugh at jokes that aren't always that funny? That's flirting. Try to give clear signals and read them accurately. If a shy guy talks to you, that's a bigger deal, for instance, than if a confident guy includes you in his big social circle.
