The 15 Flirt Languages

I have developed a "flirt language" theory. There are exactly 15 flirt languages that I have identified...have fun, & see if you can identify which one you are. Don't worry, a book is in the making =P

1. The Elementary School Flirter: The Elementary School Flirter acts like, well an Elementary school kid would when they have a crush. They may throw things at the person or tap them and act like they didn't, or make fun of them and tease them.

2. The Shy Flirter: The Shy Flirter gets nervous and shy when they are around a potential interest, and so they usually avoid the person that they are crushing on. When they are around that person, they usually get really quiet and blush very easily.

3. The Awkward Flirter: The Awkward Flirter usually gets pretty frazzled when they are around a potential interest, and this results in them saying or doing the most awkward things ever.

4. The Ditzy Flirter: The Ditzy Flirter, usually female, tends to get a little less intelligent and significantly more ditzy than normal when they are around their crushes.

5. The Touchy-Feely Flirter: Pretty self-explanatory, the Touchy-Feely Flirter flirts by being more "hands-on," if you will, with the member of the opposite sex. This can range anywhere from innapropriate, to simply touching the arm or the shoulder briefly when talking to their potential interest.

6. The Magnet Flirter: The Magnet Flirter expresses their interest in the opposite sex by managing to always find that other person in a room and making an effort to be around them often, as if there is something drawing them to that other person. *

7. The Affirming Flirter: The Affirming Flirter flirts by offering compliments and affirmation to their potential interst- more than they would to any other individual.

8. The Show Off Flirter: The Show Off Flirter tries to get the attention of the opposite sex by showing off for them, and flaunting whatever skills they might have when they are around a potential interest.

9. The Chameleon Flirter: The Chameleon Flirter flirts with the opposite sex by becoming whatever they think the other person wants them to be; i.e. acting interested in the same things, and talking about things that they know their crush would want to talk about- even if these things do not particularly interest them.

10. The Manipulative Flirter: The Manipulative Flirter knows what flirt language their crush best responds to, and therefore flirts with them in a way that offers a greater chance of response from their crush. In many (but not all) cases, the Manipulative Flirter wants many people to be interested in them, even if they themselves would never really be legitimately interested in the person that they are flirting with- they simply like attention from the opposite sex.

11. The Cheesy Flirter: The Cheesy Flirter uses cheesy pickup lines as their way of expressing interest in the opposite sex. For example "Did it hurt? When you fell from Heaven?"

12. The Non-flirt Flirter: The Non-flirt Flirter flirts simply by acting like they are not interested at all. They may come off as intriguing or challenging, which is why this flirt language can sometimes be successful. Think John Travolta in the movie Grease.

13. The Direct Flirter: The Direct Flirter has no patience for flirting or game playing, so they are really direct and bold and will simply tell you that they are interested in you upfront. This flirt language has a pretty dramatic success or failure rate- either working out great in the flirter's favor, or being extremely humiliating.

-->I have recently discovered that there are actually 2 types of a Direct Flirter:
1. the obnoxiously direct flirter: an obnoxiously direct flirter is either cocky and expects to get what they want, or they simply have no patience.
2. the wisely direct flirter: a wisely direct flirter is not cocky, but likely confident. This person is direct in their flirtation, but only when the time is right and they feel it is appropriate to make their intentions clear.

14. The Undercover Flirter: The Undercover Flirter shows interest in the opposite sex by becoming their best friend; acting as a shoulder to lean on, always listening to them vent (usually about the opposite sex and relationships), and offering advice and counsel. This flirt language often goes unrecognized by the person who is the object of the flirtation, and the flirter often ends up feeling hurt or used.

15. The Servant Flirter: The Servant Flirter will express their interest in someone by serving them. For example, they might bring their potential interest a coffee while they are studying, cleanup for them while they are busy, bake them cookies, wash or fix their car, etc.

*Revision of the 6th flirt language...
Recently a very wise person (who shall remain nameless for protection of his widespread fame and professional athleticism) pointed out to me that the "Magnet flirter" may not, in fact, be legitimized as an actual "flirt language." He argues that the name "magnet" implies that it is a mutual subconscious attraction between 2 people. If they are being subconsciously drawn together in a way that they cannot control, then can it really be considered a flirt language?I am afraid I have to humble myself to his logic, and have re-worked the 6th flirt language. Feeling magnetically drawn to another person is an uncontrollable, subconscious force. Chemistry, if you will. However, purposefully trying to be around someone in order to flirt or let them know that you are interested can still be a flirt language. I introduce to you the "Clingy Flirter." I have re-posted the 6th Flirt language:
6. The Clingy Flirter: The Clingy Flirter expresses their interest in the opposite sex by managing to always find that other person in a room and making an effort to be around them often. If the potential interest is also interested in the clingy flirter, this will likely result in a quick start to a relationship (or faux-lationship, depending on the circumstances...). If the potential interest is not mutually interested, then the clingy flirter may come off as pesky and annoying.
