    Sounds like a cop-out to save face with her boyfriend, honestly. I suppose an exception could made when intoxication is involved, but still, you know when you're flirting.
    The deciding factor is not intent, but delivery. You may not realize that you're putting out flirtation verbal or non-verbal cues, but if you are, you're flirting. It doesn't matter that you didn't mean to flirt.

    And there they lay I damn me eyes

    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Sorry, but no. You are in no way, ever responsible for other person's perception unless your intent follows suit. I remember once me and a couple of a women were joking around about... adult toys. I asked one of them if she had a special name for her "BoB" (Battery-operated Boyfriend) and the other chic started going off because her father, who'd been dead for ten years, was named "Robert". I told her friend to take her crazy cunt of a BFF somewhere else. So no, if you're not intending to flirt, you're not. But that's from a purely pragmatic approach. If you want to accept that you're "unintentionally" flirting when someone calls you out on your behavior, from a subjective approach, that's on you. But you don't have to accept it to be true, based purely on their perception.

    Not in the slightest.

    I don't think it's a bad thing, mainly because I'm a dense son of a bitch so I never notice anyway.

    Myself? No.

    Whoa, I don't roll that way, sorry.

    Also, I'm pretty sure that's not flirting, more than it is attempted sexual assault.

    I'm not in the slightest, wouldn't know how to honestly, it's never something I've understood, I've just been extremely fortunate that I've just kind of fallen into relationships without needing to flirt

    I am naturally friendly. If someone wants to interpret that as flirty, that's on them. I don't actually know how to intentionally flirt anyways.

    I'm naturally a flirt, but only when I'm in good moods which can be quite often.

    I can be jokingly flirty, but I'm rarely serious about it. I'm just like James Vega from Mass Effect: joke around a lot, but when someone does take it seriously and wants something more, I hide in the bushes.

    I don't really think I know how to flirt, but I've developed a bit of skill of attracting women's attention on purpose just by assuming certain poses, head tilt and slight gestures in my face. Now that I think of it, I should practice it more often.

    I flirt all the time. The women just lap it. It can be a good quality.

    No. I find it creepy and off-putting if that's the persons personality, but in the right time/place I don't see the problem.

    I don't try to be, but people tell me I am - a lot. I work in sales, so I think it kind of comes with the territory. I have to make every person feel special and I guess that attitude just kind of goes with me where ever I am.

    I don't think its a bad thing though, can't see why it would be.
