We know they think they’re flirting. But some men are going about their flirtation the wrong way. From constant lip licking to internet stalking, these are the moves that make us very uncomfortable.
Confusing A Drink Purchase With A Marriage Contract
Ten dollars does not give you a pass to follow me everywhere but to the ladies room…and then wait outside the door for me to come out of there.
Staring
We all do a double take when we’re interested. But if she pulls the zipper of her sweater up when she notices you looking her way, you’re doing the kind of staring that makes a woman uncomfortable. We’d all appreciate it if you could blink and keep it moving.

Let’s say I did give you the number to Domino’s and not mine — I was trying to be polite. Why return the favor by making it awkward for the both of us immediately?
Saying Sexually Suggestive Things
Being sexually explicit while flirting makes men look as icky as women feel.

This makes women uncomfortable because we can’t imagine what guys who do this are thinking. And we would prefer not to be involved in those thoughts…
Asking For Our Number Instead Of Doing Your Job
If I tell you to kick rocks, can I still get my brakes fixed?

Standing Too Close In An Elevator
Dear gentlemen who do this: Real life is not a late night cable movie. Women don’t find this sexy. Instead, they look at it as a reason to stand in the back corner of the elevator from now on (and Amazon Prime a canister of pepper spray on our phones while we’re back there).
