It depends on the individual. I'll give you my experience... When I was younger, women wanted nothing to do with me. (still don't since I'm single 
... Okay bad joke.) But not one would even say hi to me. It had to do with a whole lot of issues I didn't know about til later on in life.. Point in all this is, those that may not have any interaction with women whatsoever, some may feel they are flirting even if being nice. Those that are outgoing and extrovert type personalities, tend to think it's just being nice and striking up a conversation. It all depends on the individual, but usually the "loners" tend to think it's flirting and the extroverts tend to view it as just being nice.

I'm not friendly IRL so I guess I would never have this problem. I'm actually a little afraid of people...yes, I know I'm pathetic! It's just that I was badly ridiculed in school and it left me with emotional scars. But I wish I were friendly. I would love to be like chickwithsticks, cracking jokes at the grocery store!
But anyways, when a guy talks to me, I assume he is just being nice. About a year ago, I had a guy in class who was always talking to me and my friend told me that he was flirting. I didn't really think he was, I thought he was just nice. Turns out he had a crush on me. It was a shocker for me to find out because I really had no idea he was flirting the whole time. He never actually said "hey, I like you!" LOL We are still good friends though. Till this day he had not told me or asked me out. But apparently he did have a crush on me.

Hi Molly..Im so sorry for your childhood experiences and the scars that left behind. I pray that you find healing and peace each passing year as I had more than my fair share as well. To a degree I am sure we all have. However I promise as you get older it seems to become easier to let go and engage or joke around with people more. Not saying everyone becomes an extrovert or gregarious, and not that I am.. but it comes more natural. BTW..every time I see your picture next to one of your posts the word grace always comes to mind. You project Grace to me.
I have been trying but it's difficult for me because I've always been so shy. But I really am working on being a little friendly and talkative.
