Why do men always misconstrued being friendly for being flirty?

Question

I'm a friendly person. I like being around people and I notice that men get the wrong idea and think I'm flirting with them or that I'm down for whatever.. It gets to be very annoying. I don't want to start being a nasty person, but I don't want guys to get the wrong idea.. What should I do? Should I change my friendly ways or have to continue to explain to them that's not my intentions? Any ladies in this situation?

Answer 1

I'm actually in the situation, but reversed.

There is a difference between being friendly and being flirty.  Its a fine line however.

The thing that makes me the most upset about when my boyfriend is "flirty" with other women is one of three things.

1) He takes the way he use to flirt with me and applies it to other women.  Example, we use to always flirt/goof off/giggle and stuff on myspace comments, he's doing that now with another girl.

2) He tells girls stuff he'd NEVER say to me in a million years.  Example, he told this girl he was thinking about her, he's never said that to me in the 10 months we've been together.

3) When I'm with someone, they are my top priority in my mind and in my heart.  When I'm with a man, no other man exsists but him.

I hope this helps in the way that it is view.  Good luck finding your answer.  Hopefully I can figure out how to stop being so jealous about it.  haha
