From original article: If a man is flirting with someone and, for whatever reasons, she stops sending warm signals, it is important to quickly and politely withdraw. For example, "I'm meeting someone" means "Leave me alone, freakazoid," not "Please stay and talk to me until my date arrives."

But what about the film Scent of a Woman, where Lt. Col. Frank Slade and Charlie keep Gabrielle Anwar company; in the restaurant? That was bad?

From original article: To accept rejection gracefully is flirting's greatest challenge. I constantly find myself reassuring friends that the reasons for a woman's lack of interest are rarely ever personal.

This sounds to me like she is reassuring them (these friends) to be nice. She's hardly going to say "Well are you surprised? You look like you've been hit in the face with a spade and on top of that you're chubby. You've no chance; go home loser. No offence." No.

Can we at least talk about this babe?

Orig. posted by damasa: It's not about flirting, it's about simply letting a girl know you have some sort of interest (and it isn't limited to parties or bars and offering a woman a drink). Simply say hi and introduce yourself, ask if she is having a good time (if it happens to be a party) then end it at that. It might interest a girl enough to come talk to you when she sees you at a later time in the party. If it's in class, it might spark conversations in later classes. I've found these to work for myself, and I've formed many friendships in these past few years.

That is pretty good advice actually.
