Liamson- I literally LOL'd when I read "Push them into some bushes or the ocean."
Julianna- What if you come off as flirty, but you're really not? In my worship group at the college, there are several guys who I have a brother/sister relationship with. They like to playfully steal car keys, hide my drink, or make fun of my clutzyness/forgetfulness. Is that considered being flirty if I play into that? :/

I know you asked Julianna, but my answer, farrahanne91, is that it's all about intention. If those actions you just mentioned were always flirtatious, then wow... i flirt with all my guy friends AND girl friends. Sooo not true. I don't like flirting. But most people (especially close friends) can tell when it's in fun and when it's romantic. My buddy Hamp always messes with my keys or phone. So does Jed. Hamp doesn't like me. He never has. Jed does. He always has. They do the same action slightly differently, and I can tell the difference. Whether it's evident in that single action or not, I can tell their intentions through the way they interact.

I have a lot of guy friends due to my profession, farrahanne, and we kid around a lot, so, as Rissa said, I HOPE it's not considered flirting. I totally get your playful nature..we're kinda in the same boat. 
BUT..we do have to be careful because some of them can take it that way and it can be kinda uncomfortable. It's sure not worth losing a friend over.

Rissa- I'm with you. I don't really like flirting. Unless I'm interested in someone and I know they're interested in me, I flirt. Otherwise I won't. Thanks!
Julianna- YES!! I've been going through that a lot lately. I have a bubbly personality, and I've noticed that guys won't talk to me because they think I'm coming on too strong when I'm just being friendly. It's rather frustrating.
By the way, Julianna.. can you shoot me a friend request? I can't figure out how to send them.

In the context of being single i can be flirty. Not with strangers, & not with everyone. Also mostly my flirting is more revolved around kidding & fun, as opposed to winks & compliments. Its just a fun thing & I've never had a problem with anyone taking it for more. Usually I find the other person is doing the same thing. Just having fun with it.
Yet within the context of a relationship, then flirting around would be different. Mostly because there's another person in your life being directly influenced by your actions. So in that case I would stop to honor that person. But also in a relationship I am not as prone to flirt with that person. I am more likely to give direct compliments & expressions of affection than indirect flirtation. So since flirting isn't as major part of a real relationship, i don't think its lessen or cheapens anything i feel for that person. Also if I am flirty in a relationship its less likely to be as goofy & be more serious. I think the distinctions affect it. That's just me though.

Sometimes it can depend on the source of the actions. If I tickle my sister it's not flirting, but if I do that to a female friend it could be considered so. It also depends on the degree of ''flirtyness''. If I just play around that one is one thing. If I say something more serious that would be a sign I was testing the waters to see how the female would react. And if I got a positive reaction every time I would eventually probably want to date her. However, all females that know me know I don't want to date right now. So any "flirtacious" action would not be taken as a serious signal, since dating would be off the table completely.
