I have wondered this about ENTPs, so I figured I'll ask...

I know ENTPs can be natural flirts and they may tend to just flirt with any girl (well, the male ENTPs... unless well... yeah) around for fun or whatever. But my question is -- where is the line drawn for ENTPs in "friendly 'I-want-you-to-have-fun' flirting" versus "I like you and am trying to get your attention flirting"? Or is there any line??

Umm yeah about that line....I just shagged all over it.

I'm female but I am definitely flirty as well. Sometimes I feel I am just being friendly but it depends upon the perspective of other people. I enjoy interacting with people; I tend to like quick clever conversation, which I guess is how most people flirt? Often times it is misconstrued by even the people I am talking with, who may think I am interested in them, though I don't mean it that way.

There is definitely a line for me. The line is when I start to feel that I am interested in the person (romantically) but I am involved with someone else. Or if someone becomes generally interested in me when I was only being friendly and feels as though I led them on. I feel bad about these things and I change my behavior accordingly.

It's not simple for me to just change my behavior as a whole though. If I'm with someone who becomes jealous very easily we just tend to argue about these things and it ruins the relationship. I need my partner to trust me and know that I'm not trying to pick other people up. This isn't always easy for them to accept.

I have no problems with flirting (obviously), but you're right, there is a line there. Problem is, it's a very fuzzy line. I think each couple has to set down a limit on what is and is not acceptable. That's about the only way I can think to get around it.

Flirting is fun. I love it when girls get all giddy with nervousness and can't help but smile in my presence.

When I'm single then the line is wherever she decides to put the line. If I'm not single then I won't go beyond hugging probably.

This applies to me. I also won't flirt with someone who's married either. I'll flirt if it's platonic or I'm romantically interested. It's really not dependent on my feelings for someone. There are just some girls that I have a natural tendency to have the urge to flirt with. There are girls that I've had feelings for that I've never flirted with either. One girl I dated pointed out that I never flirted with her even though she was a major flirt. I still can't figure out why that was. I don't know what that factor is but it exists.

But I don't think there is a line. Much too black and white for us. It's more like a scale on a case by case basis.

Yeah, the line is fuzzy...at the very, very least, it's fuzzy. I flirt with almost EVERY guy I run into, without any real bias. I don't mean to, and sometimes I don't notice until a friend points it out, at which point I do try to dial it down a bit...but generally, I flirt with everyone. I find a touch of flirtation thrown into any social interaction can make things a little more fun and a little less uncomfortable, especially if the other person is more introverted or if it's a first time meeting.

Things definitely change if I'm SERIOUSLY interested in the person. But sometimes, it's difficult for me to tell. I'm so used to flirting with everyone, and subsequently, everyone flirting with me, that determining whether I enjoy being around someone because it's just another dose of attention, or whether I really, genuinely would like to try dating them is tough to determine. So, in the end, I usually do what I can to avoid confusion by not bothering to decide at all, and just keep everything at "arm's length, friendly flirting" type stuff.

I have no hangups at all about admitting that it's DEFINITELY the reason I'm perpetually single and can't really stay in a stable relationship.

if i dont have any feelings for a female, and never want to give them any idea that i might be interested i wont flirt. I also dont flirt with married ones. I will flirt with everyone else though, even if they have a boyfriend. I don't really care if they do, chances are its a relationship based on the fear of being alone, if they're being flirty, which isn't even a relationship anyway. I'd rather help them break up, even if I don't land it, than have someone never realize they could have had someone better. When I flirt I only flirt, I'm not trying to get in anyone's pants. Also whenever theres a flock of cocks around some gorgeous girl, I make it a point to ignore her. I'm not one to fight over any one. I'll be interesting and nice if we talk but I do my best to be as disinterested as possible so she either goes away or wants to get my attention more. Of course, more often than not they just go away. oh lawls.

That one especially. It usually doesn't matter how well I'm getting along with a girl when this happens. When a group of guys start conglomerating around a girl with hunger in their eyes, I simply leave. I don't want to be associated with a pack of horn dogs. I remember doing it since I was 14. That's another good point to bring up: Lose the pack of hyenas if you want anything from an ENTP.

I can be a bit of a tease even around my male friends! But there is always a line for me. I don't lead people on if I'm not actually interested in them. If they start to get the wrong impression I'll back off or make it abundantly clear. So the line between friendly flirting and something more than that is definitely intention. If the intention seems to be making you uncomfortable or screwing around, then I'm probably not that interested. If I want a relationship with someone, I tend to actually use more self control than I would when messing with friends.
