I'm good at flirting apparently. I just don't do it.

(At least consciously.)

I don't flirt, but don't let that deceive you . TreeBob's assessment was accurate - our flirting isn't obvious, but the right person will pick up on the vibes. My flirting is in the form of finding something meaningful to discuss. Over time, if it appears you're making an attempt to understand me as much as I want to understand you, I'll begin to make rather blunt statements about developing feelings, and then explore whether you feel the same.

Thinking on it further, if I'm joking around playfully, it's likely that I think you're a cool person who is fun to jest with, but it's absolutely not flirting. So people I like: joke and play; people I could potentially love: pretty serious until I'm extremely comfortable.

As far as sexuality, seems I'm a minority on this forum, because it's highly important to me. It's an opportunity to become one with the person I love (only someone I love)...and becoming one with that special someone is a top priority in my life.

You are everything I love about your kind. My INFP ex was just like this. Sexuality was important to her as well. I swear I felt waves of emotion and she wasn't even doing anything noticeable. It was quite intoxicating.

What do you mean by sexuality?

[snail]

I suspect that sexuality and type are related. IN__ types often start later than ES__ types, it seems, and INFPs especially seem to romanticize it and seek a deeper connection with a soulmate. This isn't universally true, but there are trends I have noticed.

And I have no idea how to flirt. ...which seems to be common for my sort.

I think that STPs are very sexual creatures. There senses drive them and they seem to love pleasure. They also make it known when they desire you in that way. Maybe that's why I'm in love with an ISTP lol!

Though NFPs are in tune with their emotions, I can speak for myself and say that I'm quite sensual too. I think the major thing for us before showing that side of ourselves is having a connection with a person whom we have genuine feelings for.

I can't speak for NTPs- they just seem awkward to me...I know an ENTP female who says "Ewww" when she sees people make out on tv.
STJs- seem so freaking conservative...but maybe they're undercover freaks...who knows.

Oh, and as for flirting...I can speak for myself and say that as an INFP I know how to flirt. It maybe subtle and I always keep it classy but once I know that the feelings are reciprocated there's almost no holding back in me showing my interest. I figure that if the person is interested in me they will pick up on my flirting, if not...it doesn't matter because it's so subtle that they probably didn't even notice that I was flirting with them in the first place!

My ENTP female friend does this too. It's so funny!

Strange thing is she does marine bio stuff and does a lot more squeamish things

ENFPs are known for being flirtatious or at least extremely expressive that we like you and conversations with us can have an unintentional sexual vibe! I don't know about other ENFPs but eating together, experiencing a 'first' of any kind with someone you're attracted to, laughing or arguing can all be very sexual.

The most introverted could be the most sexual in private or the least able to express their sexuality. An extrovert could be comfortable in a crowd or with flirting, but have trust issues. I think type influences sexuality, but it's one of many factors.

INTPs, especially the men, are embarassingly, adorably obvious when the flirt. Their efforts are so cute and blushworthy

I've been told this before.... although I don't realize that I'm flirting 'till someone tells me. I also don't know when people are flirting with me. I just assume they're being nice.
