He Flirts With EVERYBODY

He comes up to you prepared with the pick-up-line or conversation starter of the day. You’re used to him—he’s overfriendly, but cute in his own, pushy, flirty way. You want to be flattered. You feel somewhat special that he spends his time thinking of clever things to say to you. This particular morning, he’s making fun of you. That’s your “thing”. The two of you playfully tease each other about anything and everything.


Finally, you realize you have better things to do than mess around with this adorable clown. You say goodbye. You walk a few steps away from him … and you hear him flirting with someone else! Couldn’t he have waited until you were gone? What’s wrong with him? And why do you feel so bad?

How to identify a Big Flirt:

1. He has a “thing” with EVERYBODY. Honestly. Every girl (and her mother) has a “playful thing” with this guy. With you, he makes fun of your clumsiness. With your best friend, he playfully punches her in the shoulder. With that snobby girl who lives across the street, he tries to scare her all the time. With your cousin’s father’s brother’s friend’s niece’s baby daddy’s soccer coach’s neighbor’s daughter, he tickles her on a frequent basis.

2. Some days, he’ll just ignore you out of the blue because his flirting schedule is full and you didn’t make the list.

3. He’s quite annoying when you look at him objectively.

4. Your friends will not like him (because he’s flirted with them too, and if they’re good friends, they’ll let you know their distaste for it). They may use the terminology, “manwhore”.



The reason why you feel bad:

You thought you were special. You thought he only had interest in you. And now that feeling's gone.

 What makes a Big Flirt a difficult boyfriend?

You never know when he’s being sincere. That’s a shaky foundation for a relationship.
If he’s borderline offensive or just a really annoying flirt that’s damaging your self-esteem, stop engaging. Flirting is VERY HARD to do when it’s one-sided.

So remember: to avoid falling for a flirt, don’t flirt back. Don’t engage. Don’t respond to it. There’s not much else he can do after that. He's only looking for attention. And if he’s the kind of guy that flirts with EVERYBODY, don’t worry about hurting his feelings. He’ll certainly find someone else to tease.

Let him go. Trust me. He gets less clever and more boring after a while.

Warning:

When trying to get him to go away. You can’t seem TOO ANNOYED. Because that is a response, which is all the initiative he needs to keep going. You need to be a Level 1 for him on the “How Much I Like A Guy” Meter. You need to not dislike him.
