Flirting
Flirting is a social and often sexual behavior involving verbal or written communication, as well as body language, by one person to another, either to suggest interest in a deeper relationship with the other person, or if done playfully, for amusement.
Definition[edit | edit source]
Flirting can involve non-verbal signs, such as an exchange of glances, hand-touching, and hair-touching; or verbal signs, such as chatting, giving flattering comments, and exchanging telephone numbers in order to initiate further contact.
Cultural aspects[edit | edit source]
In many cultures, flirting is a common form of interaction between individuals. It can be a subtle yet effective way of getting to know someone better. However, what is considered acceptable flirting behavior can vary greatly from culture to culture.
Psychological aspects[edit | edit source]
Flirting can be seen as a form of behavior that signals interest in a potential mate. It can also be a way to gauge the other person's interest in return. Some people may flirt simply for amusement, with no intention of developing any further relationship.
