Is it normal to flirt with someone you'll never want a relationship with?

I hate when girls do that! There was this girl back in HS who I thought was defnitely interested in me and why wouldn't I? She sent me flirty texts like "come be my cuddle bear tonight ;)", leans on my shoulders in the movies and on the bus, we go eat one on one, long hugs and little kisses on the cheek(we never made out), holding hands, phone calls. I thought she was taking it slow but turns out, she just wanted to be friends! WTF? Call me confundamundodazzledmynizzle .

When I was in highschool I kept getting told I flirt with every girl I talked to, which wasn't true. I guess that me just talking to a female means I'm flirting with them by default?
I've only actually flirted with someone last year for the whole year. I definetly didn't want a relationship with them, it was more of a power thing. She liked me in the sense that she obviously wanted arelationship with me, but I just ignored that until after what I'm about to explain happened. She had a boyfriend that loved her, ended the relationship with him to get with another classmate (who was jealous of me due to her saying to him constantly before they even got together that she liked me more), then ended it with him to go back to her ex. I picked this up, then realized she was trying to play with these two guys' emotions. So, I flirted with her for a few weeks, she asked to be in a relationship with me,l I declined in the sense that I was pretending to be nice but obviously showing I didn't like anything about her in a small way. The next two days, she gotback with her first boyfriend, thenI said to her that I was actually considering being with her, if only she didn't get with her first boyfriend. She ended it with him, then asked again, and I said "No, I thought over it, you're not really someone I'd want to be in a relationship with". After all that, I just ignored her completely, then got in to a different social group within the class that had a lot of physical attractivness, just to rub it in her face. She tried so hard to get my attention after I started ignoring her, but I never replied, ever. Just gave the "What?" look when ever she tried to talk to me. She constantly stared at me after those things happened up until I finnished the college course.

She was viewed as the person that knew how to play with everyones emotions, so natrually I challenged her on that, and I won flawlessly. She now has no boyfriend, and constantly tries to add me on social networks. She clearly overestimated her emotional manipulation skills, but underestimated mine.

So it seems you are developing feelings for this person since you seem to enjoy flirting with him so much. Do you follow him home and watch him as he changes through his window as well? Do you describe intimate details of your life, such as recent bowel movements or ear wax buildup?

If you do, believe me he is getting the signals loud and clear.

there is a fine line between flirting and leading someone on, i been on both side, and sometime the if fucks with your head if you feel lead on, even if the other person is just innocently flirting.

Maybe they're jealous?

just because they accuse you of flirting doesn't mean they're right.
i mean some people see "she is talking to him" and automatically decide that it means she's flirting.

if the two of you are happy with how things are then who cares what others gossip about? it's just made up drama unless you decide to validate it

I always flirt. I'm a bit of a tease too.

There's nothing wrong with flirting.
