Astrological Flirting Styles
The Scorpio Sex Academic has a book called Flirting For Dummies which she swears I should borrow as it’s so brilliant.
I honestly don’t think i need it. The main thing it seems to have done for her is add a whole new cabal of men into her life – flirtees who are not being at all considered contenders for a relationship nor even a fling but whom are engaged in an active flirtship. The book says that done properly, flirting is practically aerobic and certainly endorphin inducing.
Apart from Libra, I don’t think the Cardinal signs are so good at it – they often don’t bother unless they think something is going to “happen” and then they always want to “follow through.” It’s like they are turned On or Off. Cardinal Signs; Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer.
Virgos are often so attentive and engaging that people THINK they are flirting when really, the poor Virgo is only being polite. Aquarius psycho-flirts. Comes on strong and than takes off fast.
Geminis & Pisceans are definitely the best flirts of the Zodiac…Leos are often too up themselves to show the requisite interest in the other person although Haute Leo (if he/she thinks you are important or beautiful enough) is amazing at it. Saggo is brilliant, so long as their target maintains the correct sporting attitude.
Thoughts? And your fave flirting styles + sign.
yep…guilty…
flirt..then RUUUUUUUNNNNNN….cause flirting is just flirting but when the other person starts seeing something more….
agree that gemini’s are genius at flirting….the virgo ref too…the virgos i know are fabulous at conversation and inclusion….
Hmm, with Leo Sun am a natural flirt when feeling bouncy, but if I don’t like the person I am afraid that will come out as naturally as any charm I might have…darned Sagg Moon. I think of flirting as a sport, sometimes a hunt… sometimes a challenge (Aries Asc).
Most often though, I enjoy it as a way of drawing people out and making them feel like expressing a side of themselves they might otherwise not connect with socially – it should never be coarse (Mars in Virgo) and hopefully it should leave the other party feeling better about themselves in some ineffable way…!
My Multiple Gem man is unusual in that he is terrible at flirting and sees no point (Kataka Moon!) and is too analytical to be tempted (Aqua Asc).
My best friend is the worst flirt in the world – she is Virgo, Rising Cancer and Moon in Aries. Honestly, just painful to watch. Now I understand why!
Aqua friends I notice are unpredictable – like it was almost a mistake or they were struck by flirting lightning one day, Saggi’s can be great, Pisces are supreme masters totally agree, Librans can be great, Scorpio can a bit over the top or don’t want to involve their pride if they are serious sorts I think, but then one of the most successful man-whores I know was a Scorpio – he was ever so sweet and seemed deep but when I got to know him he was actually a very simple soul who was deeply attached to his mama
Aries can be really sparkly if they want, Cappy’s can smoulder or be made of stone (smoulder or boulder?) and Taurus I find similar, but more lascivious if that is their way…
My Virgo Sun/Scorp Moon bro was Kataka Rising and girls loooved him, wanted to mother him constantly but he had loads of his chart in Libra apart from that which is where I think he got playful, generally I think it was partly wanting to make people feel comfortable in that Virgoan way.
So anyway, my experience is quite similar to what you describe Mystic!
“I think of flirting as a sport, sometimes a hunt… sometimes a challenge (Aries Asc). ” – I’m Libran with Aries rising, and I’d agree with this statement from FireTrine!
I also agree with Mystic (re: the cardinal thing) that I generally won’t bother flirting unless I see an outcome to it. I always wanna close the deal!
One of my oldest friends is Libran too, I think with Aries ascendant as well, but she is useless at flirting. She can’t even tell when other people are flirting with her! There must be some other stuff going on in her chart because honestly, she is clueless to the point of embarrassment, and she is so busy being sincere all over the place, there’s no room for a little light-hearted flirtation. Drives me nuts!
I’m with your friend – am absolutely hopeless at it and practically have to have flirtee whack me between the eyes with a four by two before I ‘twig’… Hopeless hopeless hopeless.
This capricorn w/aries rising is not much of a dab hand at flirting, certainly of no length anyway: much prefer to establish the connection, close the deal, and go in for the … wait, does making ‘em laugh count as flirting?
yep making em laugh DOES count – Aries Ex can quip his way to any sorta loving he desires….
I hate flirting and find it tedious and dull. People who flirt and faff about with me tend to get a very pointed response like … “are you interested or wot?” … “do you fancy me or are you just hanging around coz you are bored?”. They either get it, or freak out and run for the hills. It certainly sorts the wheat from the chaff I tell ya. But then I really hate the dating and pre-courtship so that suits me fine.
ps. none of that’s true I’m a shocking flirt.
I was wondering where your Gem rising Venus in Cancer in 1st was Prowlin’…
(Shall we go ’round again? lol)
ok well my ex husband used to freak out at my flirting. And he was a Pisces the supposedly famous flirts next to Gemini. I would insist I was just being friendly. He would be like “you were sitting on his lap! He was buying you drinks!!” … all innocent like I’d say “I was just trying to distract him from potting the black ball.” The Toro freaked out too … he said I could flirt just by the way I “walked across a room”. All of this is completely news to me and I have no idea wot they are on about. If I really like somone … the above (hating flirting – tedious/dull) applies.
I inadvertantly flirt apparently. Sometimes people see my genuine interest in them, at that particular moment, as me flirting…noooooooo I’m just listening intently and asking questions…because I like hearing people’s story.
I rev it up several notches if I’m actually flirting and it’s only being friendly…and as with prowln if really interested it’s just too silly…and if I’m really interested I still get that some strange flashback to shy me…I get lost for words and all flustered.
yup when I really like someone I turn into Dorkus Moronicus.
That is the best description of how you feel when you have a crush, holy shit…… i love it
I totally love flirting, it’s so exciting and envigorating…
That’s what keeps ya sassy, Sassy.
Hi, I’m Virgo with Scorpio rising, and I’m a flirtaholic. Although, as Mystic mentioned most of the time I don’t even intend to. I think that I’m just being nice….
Scorpio would have to be the queen of flirt. My ex bestie was simply amazing at it. She had so many drooling over her. Just came so naturally and she had the way way way cute and slightly mysterious image, great smile and teeth. Just made you feel special…
shit and i meant to type pisces not scorpio are the queen of flirt
Lol, I am with you Mystic! I don’t think I need to read this book…
*raises one eyebrow & smiles*
I think it is good manners to flirt & I was brought up to have exceptionally good manners so I am always flirting… I don’t discriminate, it’s with anyone who catches my eye. I find it stimulating & fun, it really doesn’t mean anything but fun, unless of course you want it to be.
Customers love it from the elderly to the corporate even flirt a little… or a lot, it is hysterical & they obviously feel good about themselves. There are some memorable moments such as…. I had a 2 separate customers lined up for coffees & both of them winked at me as they picked up there coffees to go, I have no idea what I was doing to get that response…. Lol!
Gemini/Pisces rising
Excellent!! You sound like you have exceptional manners.
Yes with Mars in Gem on Asc can flirt up a storm and tease and carry on/BS. Can build you up and tear you down and build you up again in about 15 seconds flat but all in fun (talk about rape
). Then again, this is just my usual mode really for the most part. Guess I just flirt naturally with no particular ends to a means in mind.
But if not in that mood you might not even know I’m there. Moon in Cap, Aries Sun can freeze you out bigger than the iceburg vs. the Titanic. There is one kinda pervy vibe type guy that comes in the office and I pretty much hide/avoid him as one time he was just trying so hard to get me to do a massage house call. Uh no, I will not flirt with you freakazoid.
Know of a Leo Moon who said if he wasn’t feeling a vibe he would not bother with someone at all. Said he could be a snob.
And by build you up and tear you down, build up, etc., I mean in a cheeky/verbal way thats not about sex at all….Just maybe a compliment followed by a jab then maybe a compliment….Just playing stuff….
The rape part just refers to how you might feel when I get done with you verbally…So not into the whole batting my eyelashes stuff and dropping a hankie….Thought I should clarify as thought maybe it sounded like I was coming on flirt wise sexually…”Build up” No, not talkin’ about a climax here
oh Sweetpea, i know exactly what you mean by “freeze you out bigger than the iceburg vs. the Titanic” hehe. Cap ascendent here. Haha.
Yeah, Mom calls me a “paradox” and when upset a few times told me she felt like she was walking on egg shells around me. Yikes, didn’t know I was that intimidating but do think Saturn can send off a chill that folks feel for miles around. I ~do~ try to not confuse the darlings…
lol
I am have never been a flirt, but when I saw what I wanted there was no doubt in the other parties mind as to my intentions. Is that flirting ? Of course now I am married, flirting only happens to me..
I will say though that I have never appreciated my partners flirting, they quickly became ex partners, they must adore moi fully and twuly, or no soup for them !
I would not like that either (as an Aries) and did not ever flirt with other men when attached. Was accused though of “shining” too much though just for sittin there. Hell yes I shine baby! (Aries aren’t we? lol)
And I don’t know if it’s flirting david when someone knows of your intentions or not. Quite frankly, I’d call it a relief considering some of the nonsense that goes on out there.
Aww!! I agree with Baristagem not only is it good manners, but I can’t HELP it!! It just happens!! Nothing to do with not adoring my man… Who no doubt doesn’t love it at times. Like Sweetpea says – how to stop ‘shining’???
How Arian of ye Davey – the loathe of the partner flirting I mean!!
Yes, I endured my Gemini ex flirting and doing it to get at me. Humiliation is a form of abuse, and it is humiliating if you are married with kids.
Now, as a single gel, I went out on Saturday evening to a great party and flirted so much that 3 guys asked me out. It doesn’t happen very often but I now know what to do!! Slow learner, huh?
woohoo, go little fish!
Oooh, I can understand that little fish, humiliation is a different story, there has to be sensitivity in flirting if you have a partner. My Sagg ex and I worked together and flirting was kind of part of the job.
We’d both start one end of the room and end up together in the middle and laugh our heads off… Until he started actually following through…
That was humiliating. I was such a slow learner every person who met me at one point were like, “He has a girlfriend?”… Doh. But no kids, so less abusive I guess… Kudos to you.
Go out with the three guys I think! Or just take their numbers at least and go out with the pick of the bunch – things are always ominous in three’s. It’s a sign!!!!
I will flirt with the oldies I look after both men and women and they love it . as long as you are genuine it is a gift to someone to tell them they look great.
sexy flirting however is a game and a challenge in itself and yes Gem’s the best I know possibly because they never stop talking and something nice eventually comes out of their mouth.
Leo’s do it in the hope of getting a compliment back so a bit self interested but its still fun and I don’t have an embarrasment gene in me so any old crapola comes out.
I LOVE to flirt and many have said that I am a “natural flirt” … which as a Gemini I take as a great compliment. Just like Baristagem, I don’t discriminate and can find the good in almost every man. Beign a female in the construction adn finance industry this often gets me in the door and makes my cleitns feel special.
However, can get me into trouble … with a string of married men all thinking I am “that kind of girl”. More for sport than action .. my Cancer rising means that as amoral as some may think I am, I am truly well behaved under the bravado.
haha that’s funny … being a Cancer with a Gemini Rising I am truly more amoral than I make myself out to be … to a point of course. Flirting to me is more like a social networking skill rather than anything to do with romance or love.
oops and being a bad typer too … that’s the speak/type too quick before I think/proof read part of gem!
Hah – as a Scorp I can flirt, however with an Aries Asc and Cancer Moon, well, the cardinal in me must reign. I’m tragically oblivious to flirting however, and its well after the fact I click. If I do work it out during, I’m turn all gauche and tongue tied.
I knew a libra who was a ‘slut flirt’. As in it was so heavy and OTT it was a turn off…… ugh.
I do agree that Aquas are psycho flirts – all on, then ‘where’d they go???”, and Pisces and Gems, ultimate flirts.
I don’t think Saggs flirt, they ahve fun, then its like ‘wahoo lets have sex!’ lol.
Flirting is an ART Form . Stimulation, Interaction Sometimes you get more .Sometimes it just is. Other times a doorway to see what turns you on and why. I loved when you spar with someone who is honestly on the same energy wave.We all need love spread it.
Hmmm. Libra Sun, Gemini Ascendant – conjunct lilith – she makes flirting FUN, Pisces Midheaven. Yes, I flirt – now that I’m married it’s just cheeky never sexy because when I wasn’t married sexy flirting always worked and you know, you had to be careful what you wished for. I don’t flirt in front of my lover because I would never put him in the position of feeling as though someone else was more important than him with a flirt – cos no-one is. He is the ONE.
Pre monogamy if I was conquest flirting my technique was on an energetic level before I ever even spoke or engaged with them. I would send out the message to their higher self/auric field that I was into them. Then I would speak/smile/catch the eye. Sometimes I would flirt over a period of weeks before making any kind of affirmative manouvre. The tension builds and then it’s all on. Jungle drums. They always used to say they felt bewitched. And so they were.
And then there’s just the cheeky flirting which is games and sport and the other person usually knows it’s going no further and has fun with it too. Unless they’re taurean. A sideways glance at them and they think you’re betrothed. I’m sure some people respond to that, I am not one of them.
oooo whatever, messaging their higher self – now THAT’s a whole new level of flirting
i like it 
hmm higher self thing like a symbol or something would appear that showed me the person was into it – it was usually seeing two hands shaking. Conquest flirting was unemcumbered by obligation or social norms re courting. Just a bit of nice liberated grown up fun.
also I agree about the “being careful what you wish for” – just the sticky vibes of flirtees – where one has created a bit *too* much interest.
I think i am hyper-sensitive to putting out the vibes (also probably massively shy at times) as I have found it can go someplace fast !?! oops. It’s that moon in cap – driving with the good old handbrake on…gah.
But I do love the fun banter and cheekiness of general flirting…
pisces / gem rising
oh no that makes perfect sense with for re: taureans, I’m an Aries with the bull in my moon sign. Geminis = trouble, they innocently bat there eye lashes at me and the hunt begins! jungle drums (te he I dig)
What about Taurus?
You guys have a whole other thing going on – I’m not sure it’s classed as flirting. Unless you maybe have some air in your chart. You guys are DEEP.
yeah, imho taureans will stare placidly at their objet de desire, chat happily and talk about stuff, them invite them around for dinner and sex or at least cuddles (which the taurus engineers for sex later).
possibly?
yeah there’s something more enduring about the way taureans (well the men anyhow) approach matters of the heart and I just can’t reconcile that with “flirting” which is kinda frivolous in my experience.
re: taurean flirt mode, it’s a steady advance towards the desired person, till that person is absorbed into their sphere of being…(i think)
I think you’re right ; 0)
LL … yeah it’s like being assimilated by the Borg … or they just grow around you like some freakin over fertilised hydrangea
you so often make me giggle, LL, your analysis of Toros is so apt, things i don’t realise until you point them out, very observant, methinks, LOL!
Thanks taurean with the HMBOTS, maybe having Taurus rising gives me some insight…
LOL at hydrangea comment prowln. I have and Aunt that tried to chop out a hydrangea one year…it was her mission. She would hack it to bits, dispose of bits…ended up putting about a bucket of weedkiller directly undiluted on it. That hydrangea grew so thick and lush and was so heavy with blooms.
Libra Sun: Scorp Moon: Saggo Rising. Flirting is like breathing to me. It’s almost automatic.
*plonks self on your lap* so tell me about yourself you foxy thing you.
hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa
Nice boots. =^_~= yer icon there.
Flirting…is something that happens naturally without THINKING or puffing oneself up too much..its natural result of being in ones gorgeousness and apprecieatiing someone elses gorgeousness. Contrived or manipulative “flirting” is pukeworthy. And whats flirting without meaning it..its loathesome to be trifled with.
Having said that I have had more than one Scorpio bestie when out on the town…insisting on such obvious and “anyones attention will do” type flirting that it was exhausting. Just an excersise in getting noticed and proving ones attractiveness and nothing to do with anyone else. Not only that both of these girls were the type who’d say something demeaning if I happened to be the object of attention…
the best flirting is a sort of magic….
Oh I always meant it toro just not in the same way toros do – we’re wired differently you know? Some like it your way, others like it another. xxx
o soz the kisses weren’t flirting they were festive comraderie lol
yes correct – we collect scalps – one kiss and they are marked as ours forever (in our tiny scorpionic minds)
scorps usually more discriminating tho?
all the scorps I know have been very picky – but there’s all that other stuff to consider, ascendant, etc. maybe that mixes it up. None of them have had tiny minds tho lol their minds have to be large to store the lists of names for that dish best served cold.
Mean scorps tho – wonder what that’s about
Reading these has made me think of times where I’ve been a crowd of leos…to the onlooker it probably looks like we’re flirting our heads off…usually it’s just being admiring of our fine selves.
Freud much? That would be in a crowd of leos…although I do have many facets. Hah.
Better than a “murder of crows”
LL – I LOVE UR NEW AVATAR!
pEOPLE SAY IM A TOTAL FLIRT! im like – im just talking to them.
i think its becoz, guys in my highschool are practically chicken shit to go up to a girl and start a conversation! It’s just embarrasing to watch!
Saggo flirting is basically – in my presonal experience and that of my other saggo friends = NO BOUNDARIES! people think to much when it comes to flirting, i think people just have to relax, laugh and enjoy!
then again my pisces rising grounds me to fight my saggo’s fear of commitment.
Thanks Matt. I find it weird too how many people misconstrue friendliness for flirting…and I think you’re onto something with the boundary thing.
I think it’s an openness a lot of fire signs have that is seen as flirting. Maybe being that friendly is such a big step to other people that the only way they can get there head around it is to think, oh they must really be into that person…
Irish Aqua Flake is a DREADFUL txt flirt. once he gets going it can get saucy rather quickly, moreso if texting under the influence.
BUT should one pick up the phone to fix a time to meet – he goes underground!!
I’m still waiting for my email missy *taps foot*
alrighty madame, tomorrow!!
xox
This Gemini is flirt par excellence, but for me it’s definitely about the witty banter….teasing, witty, clever, and a bit sarcastic, but always light-hearted. I’m a master of the double entendre, if it gets to that. I don’t usually do the physical stuff though…to me that’s so obvious, coquette-type girly girly stuff. The hair flipping, eyelash-batting…ick. But sometimes I’ll do a light touch on the knee or shoulder, or even brush against someone when moving past them in the bar. Still innocent, but electric! I adore the energy I get from flirting…there’s nothing else like it!
oooo YES the almost not there touch
Virgo, virgo rising, virgo venus, gemini mars. So uh, yeah, I tend to flirt all over the place. I flirt with all of my friends, I flirt with my teachers, I flirt with the elderly, I flirt with strangers I pass by on the street, etc etc. Usually I’m just being polite and all, which must be quite rare in society or something because everyone is taken aback and thinks I’m flirting up a storm! I ESPECIALLY am accused of flirting when merely tolerating a conversation with someone I REALLY don’t want to speak to but don’t want to rudely turn away. For some reason those folks always think I’m mad for them. When it comes to flirting with someone I actually like, I do pretty well I hope, but end up kicking myself mentally for it for the next eight years for some something they most likely didn’t notice. That or I don’t think they’re actually flirting and I assume they’re only being nice like I usually am, so I feel like a silly school girl of some sort. I rarely notice when people are flirting with me, actually. I’ll usually walk out of a party with a friend going, “Oh, so-and-so is an awfully nice gentleman!” to which they will incredulously reply, “Lesly! So-and-so was plainly flirting with you all evening!” and then I will feel like a dork because either I will have fancied so-and-so or I won’t believe I didn’t notice such a thing! It never fails. I overthink the whole flirting business. It’ll take me ages to reply to a text message as I need to analyze every character I type, phonecalls TERRIFY me (partially because of my inability to hear), and I think I’ve adequately explained real life situations. I am quite young, though, I’m sure I’ll learn as I age. …I hope!
Forgot to mention! I LOVE to wax poetic with geminis. Either cuddling up and cooing like songbirds (usually with Gemini-friends) or writing/speaking elegant prose back and forth with all the airs of 19th century romantics with Gemini lovers. It really is practically aerobic, or at least aerobic for the mind! Perhaps it is because I will always be a poet at heart, I cannot help it! Put a Gemini and I in a room together and wait for the magic of conversation, I tell you! It’s a wonderful time. I also enjoy waxing philosophical with scorpio and saggo friends. My mom’s a sagg, so I LOVE talking to them. They keep me in line with the big picture.
Haha, hmm. Yeah, my first reaction to this was ‘I SO don’t need that book.” Love flirting, mostly don’t realise I am doing it. I have Gemini sun & mercury, Leo rising. Two of my best male friends are a Virgo and Pisces; the latter was moved to comment that flirting was Sir Virgo’s ‘natural mode’, although Mr Pisces is perfectly capable of acting the boy-man most of the time, so he’s not in a position to point a finger!
Unfortunately have an Aries moon so tend to take it a bit too seriously – as in, if I’m really into someone & they flirt back I assume they WANT something.
Damn Aquarians. Currently tearing my heart out over one in particular’s style of making out & taking off. Freakishly accurate as usual Mystic…
Double Scorpio (moon & sun) venus Sagg (thanks Mystic for consult!), Pisces Mars, Taurus rising.
I flirt with everyone and everything, in a (hopefully) refined & elegant way. Men and women both. I’m not bi but something in girly femme lesbians makes me turn on the flirting even though it’s unfair on them as I wouldn’t follow thru – probably the Scorp power thing. Often they just look slightly wary and terrified if they twig to it.
I flirt with older men, particularly the grandpa sort, shamelessly. Consequently I always have poor old dears falling over their sticks to help me with luggage, opening doors etc. Of course, they come from the chivalrous generation etc etc.
I use the Scorp intense eye contact thing, I don’t tend to touch so much as many women do, as I’m far too aware of touching as a sexual thing rather than “friendly”. However I’m learning how to do the light arm touching thing etc!
Also talking about sex frankly and openly, especially kinky sex, can work to up the flirting intensity – at that stage however it starts to feel a tiny bit dangerous & can come across as a bit showy-offy if not done with enough subtlety. I’m not suggesting doing that with the old dears though, I don’t want to be responsible for any heart attacks about the waywardness of the younger generation.
Boy I’m “sorta seeing” is a 100% power flirt (Cap, sagg venus as well), pretty and can really turn it on, megawatt smile. He turned up unexpectedly last night and proceeded to systematically try to charm me into bed again (worked a treat – he had me at “hello”. LOL.)
Mystic, you really are freakishly accurate …
Pisces X didn’t understand flirting at all. Didn’t notice when I did it either …
I’m a scorpio sun/pisces moon/gemini rising/scorpio venus. the problem with a scorpio sun&venus is well… we love sex everything about it. and the problem with the gemini ascendant is I love change and flirting comes far too natural. getting what you want is easy it’s wanting to keep it that is the problem! I want a committed relationship but apparently scorpio/gemini combos are almost always doomed to be the natural “polygamist”. which is true i love the chase of getting someone more than keeping them. i feel terrible about it but it’s hard to find anyone that can keep up with me and keep me stimulated emotionally/physically/mentally.
Pisces sun, leo rising. Am very very bad at flirting. I just don’t know what info to hold back, and so just tell the poor person everything about my life, good or bad. Also, I just don’t get innuendo. I tend to attract a lot of people who make very dorky innuendo, and that just makes me cringe.
OMG my X was the same. Either that or totally ignored girls who were practically hurling themselves into his lap. Clueless, but very high standards.
Unfortunately he applied them to me. LOL.
I only flirt when i’m in the mood and quite good at it (venus in Libra, Sagg moon) but being quite a moody person, it’s very random. If i’m in a good mood i’ll flirt with anyone – it’s fun and charming! Like Baristagem said – it’s just manners.
My Cap ascendent couldn’t be bothered. Scorp side likes a slow subtle flirt if I really fancy someone … it’s all in the eyes!
SR do you switch on some inner energy, sort of some ebb flow seducto vibe when you do the scorp flirt? Some sort of radiating (off most people’s radar) thing where you exude all things dark and wonderous, with the odd zap just to keep them on their toes? Sort of a lush tractor-beam of lurve…
Is that what your Scorp moon does?
Yes, definitely some “inner energy” thing. Can’t describe it in words (Merc in Scorp) but you’ve come close.
I recall Mystic describing Scorps idea of romance “like a Rottweiler in a chook yard” HAHAHA…. so true when i’m being too intense.
Um yeah…if I feel said object of desire is worth it…and yeah this is the closest with words that I can get to describing it…(Merc in leo)
There are layers, it’s like all your senses are on alert/on point as it were and they just enfold said object of desire and they are just so much dust.lol. It’s finding someone that it’s worth going there for that’s the problem.
I’m glad we’ve all got so many different types of appeal, I think I seethe, I pulse therefore I am could be a bit wearing all the time, my bouncy shiny happy leo hair tossing beam beam beam self also…wearing if 24/7….
I do love Mystic’s idea of a rotty unleashed amongst the chooks as a scorpy type of love…
“a lush tractor-beam …. ”
wot like the Death Star? *giggles to self*
Don’t hit me scorpy!!
… but a rottweiler whose prey just backs into a corner, clucking quietly to itself in a fascinated yet terrified manner, trying to look out of the corner of its little eyes for an escape route but unable to tear its gaze away from the predator.
This of course does explain why they all run away at the first available moment, except for the ones with Stockholm Syndrome.
I personally think it’s more catlike than Rottweiler, ‘cos we tend to size up prey that doesn’t want to be chosen, watch intently, pounce at an inappropriate moment, and then play with the terrified morsel for far too long, thereby ineptly giving it a chance to escape. Ever seen a cat after its mouse has escaped? That’s the look I often have.
tati. you’re just the sort of strange that I like. *laughing my arse off*
Never bother with flirting…..too much mind-fuqing …..manipulative.
I think I flirt really well but never enough to actually go back and forward, i would keep up doing it then i would stop instantly, i totally suspect that it’s my aqua venus in 12th house that just shut out any affectionate (physical) moments. Intelligent(flirty)/sexual conversations are A+ in my book. And I’m such a cliche because all the flirting eventually go to planning to have “secret” affairs.
Pisces rising/saggo sun/leo moon
What’s flirting?
Funny word.
I’m a partnered Libra Sun/Virgo Moon/Aquarius rising, and I only flirt with people other than my partner for sport – a sport that I enjoy for its own sake. For me, flirting involves a lot of eye contact, teasing, verbal sparring (I like a lot of intellectual engagement), sexual innuendo, cocked eyebrows, and knowing half-smiles.
I experience social anxiety in most social settings, but flirting seems to come naturally. I have run into trouble, however, with my flirtees not always understanding (or wanting to understand) my intentions. When that happens, it’s often hard to find a way to casually slow things down and gracefully extricate myself… resulting in me suddenly slamming on the brakes with a very direct, “Look, you know I have a partner, right? And that this can’t go anywhere?” So awkward.
With my partner, I flirt to let him know that I find him attractive, to signal my interest in some “follow through,” and to build sexual tension. The build-up of sexual tension is actually my favorite aspect of flirting.
Haha Taurus. I get it now. I have had a few of those experiences. I am being Aries- sparkling away as you say, this is raally fun!! and then it’s like he flips a switch – prolly planned hours ahead- and I’ve fallen into a deep hole and I wonder what did I say? I can’t leave now- he’s barred the door and paved the way to our entire future together. Then Venus in Aquarius panics and ruuuuunnnsssss……!!!!
I can’t flirt well, I take it too seriously. I can joke about sex, with my earthy sense of humour, but am hopeless in a light, fun conversation bout how cute the other person is…..
Wow Apple, I”m Gem sun/Virgo Moon/Aqua rising and you pretty much just described my flirting style EXACTLY.
Having a partner doesn’t slow me down with guys that pique my interest, but I’m pretty careful not to let it go too far. I don’t cheat on my partner, so I don’t take the flirting further than just flirting.
My sun is Libran and I like to flirt socially…mostly with peeps older or younger than me. Sexy Flirtin’ with peers is another thing altogether. I either take it all too seriously (Venus in Scorpio) or don’t attempt it at all (Mars in Cancer thankyou very much).
Apple this is so true for me too “The build-up of sexual tension is actually my favorite aspect of flirting” is my fav part of partner or potential partner flirting. Last week got the Lusty Leo’s engine going on Tuesday all ready for an extended pit stop on Friday. Worked perfectly.
taurus sun, aquarius rising, scorp moon…. flirting is a serious bussiness and is either intense and purposefull or not at all, unless when drunk in which case anyone is a victim just for kicks
How do you do that? gradual build-up? Wha?
gradual build-up is just for fixed signs and mutable signs with commitment ishoos. We cardinals are like “Right. Yer the one. Mow let’s bung on the ring and no fart arsing about.”
Mow? Moo? … I meant Now
GF take one helpless, clueless male with mobile phone , lead them gently, don’t fighten them away along a path designed by your own imagination and boundaries, be full of surprises, go awol for a day jsut so they miss you , finally finishing at your detination ( you may have to back track to lay a new trail if the footy or motor racing is on) most important get flirty, get frothy and get it on!!
leogroover you got it goin’ on.
grrrreat advice but …. this scorp asks:
does this apply to males who are neither helpless nor clueless? this one is pretty but not dumb.
What is this thing “gently”? Have not tried “gently”.
Are surprises from a Scorp ever nice surprises? Or do most people not like a nice plate of fresh raw entrails, unless they are Marilyn Manson?
frothy? tractor-beam rottweiler-cat here doesn’t understand frothy.
*goes back to glowering meaningfully in the corner*
with Cap boy our idea of flirting is cautiously ignoring each other for three weeks and then getting together in secret and talking intently about work.
Will think about this thing “frothy”. Do I use egg whites? Whipped cream? Can it involve whips?
I’ll get back in my box now.
HEY … how do youse all reckon I would go dating a Leo?
He wouldn’t know what hit him.
Seriously now, I reckon you’ll be fine Prowin – you got enough fire and air… could be a good combo. As long as the Leo guy has a few earth and/or water planets.
Why do you ask, you got ya eye on someone?
Really prowln if you had some genuine connection where you could honestly be admiring without pissing yourself laughing at his frail/yet hearty ego, everything else you give off would appeal to your ‘average’ leo bloke.
Just don’t for goodness sake ever imply to him that he is an ‘average’ bloke in any respect.
no I told him he was damn hot for an average bloke
oh I put average like that because NO leo thinks they’re average in regards to anything…some of us can hide our roaring egos to socially acceptable levels, but really for the most part we believe we’re pretty hot stuff…at least at some things.
Ok he’s gorgeous as far as I’m concerned. Something appeals … it’s that Leo thang that cool Leo’s have going on. PLUS he’s a NURSE. I have never admitted this but I have a major thing about medical peeps as I’ve known quite a few and they’re all completely mental but at work have this utterly lovely adorable peaceful “I know you’ve just lost half killed yerself but it’s all gonna be A. O. K.”
I mean he just asked me over to watch a DVD for gawd sakes.
I was like ….. we’ve only just met. I would be far too scared, get far too enebriated and probably take advantage of you.
It’s in his own best interests that I said no.
But I like him. He’s straight up and down. No crap.
sigh …. just do it … he’s a nurse, he can handle it !! Ring him up and say you’ve changed your mind.
Gosh I can be bossy sometimes.
I like the sound of a straight up and down no crap leo nurse man prowln.
You’ve been given the opportunity to be your own charmingly blunt self…do not wimp out.
If the worst thing you can think of is that you may hate him in a month…well that’s one month of fun. You could surprise yourself and have fun for like maybe 6 weeks….AND that’s future stuff, you’re not there yet.
Suck it up and enjoy the NOW.
Call him back and just see what happens.
I just got his birth deets LL *wicked grin* we shall see…
He just sent me a hundred page dossier of relationship questions so without even LOOKING at his damn chart I suspect something significant in Virgo …. but he’s definitely straightforward. No mucking about.
So how did he go about presenting the dossier? There is something about that thoroughness I like….did you promise to go over the paperwork if he released birth deets?
where did you meet him… how come he sent you a 100 page dossier of relationship questions – is it work related? I’m curious.
Straightforward and no mucking about sounds good!
he WHAT? That would freak me out …
I’ll probably hate him next month.
So see/do him now, before you get bored.
he knows you think he’s hot, get on with it !!
scorpio flirting style:knock prey over head with hammer, drag back to lair, tie up and stare at it attentively for hours.
ps. get on that phone.
fuq you are funny … I am a CANCER sun & venus tati … if I’m going to stun anyone with anything it’s the size of my boobs and what a great cook I am, whilst managing witty repartee thanks to Gem Asc. I just can’t do the black widow business sweety.
tati, have you got multiple planets in Scorp or something? ’cause that’s definitely not my style of flirting.
tati’s invented her own completely unique style scorpy. Most scorps I know kinda … well they stalk around the object of desire and like the mind fuq particularly if they’re the one’s doing the mind fuqing. I think our tati’s got some Aries or Sagg going on
haha you guys are right.
prowln – i can’t do the big boobs or the cooking, and the witty repartee can be difficult. So I have to resort to black widowry, or else they escape for sweeter more luscious morsels like your good self!
SR – I have Scorp sun & Moon – double scorp, like Dracula
I thought that was being restrained.
actually my style of flirting is smoulder at them from a distance, have intense conversations about sex (on an intellectual level), until either they or I lose patience and attempt to have my evil way with them.
My mind is not sufficiently complex to mind-fuq adequately. Too impatient & one-track minded. Sagg Venus, no Aries at all but Mercury, Jupiter & Neptune all in Sagg as well.
Mars Pisces so really I’m a confused wee softie at heart. (If I had a heart.)
Missed this one – too engrossed with the lovely French Kataka at the time. I’m a shameless flirt – Venus in .Gemini, Leo Sun, Pisces rising. But my moods do influence my lightness – Moon/Mars in Kataka in the 5th house. And it has to be an appropriate stage – Saturn conj Ascendant.
