How the types flirt

[Kiba]

The example wasn't really serious, I think the point is that I don't engage in much openly flirtatious behavior because it requires being more openly affectionate than would be comfortable given the current relationship with the person. I don't think I would do the jacket around the shoulders thing unless I was already in a relationship. I don't know how common this attitude is among SLIs though

Same here. I test the waters and stay present to the person I like. I dont flirt I try to know if the other is interested because if they dont then Ive no reason to invest any effort. My moves goes towards this point mostly. But I act almost the same with new friends.Probably I' d be the one asking for a jacket or something (me being girl). But again no difference with how I act with male friends (I mean asking them for stuff).

its sort of cliched, but I think it may just be an atitude symptomatic of not being around many or any people worth flirting with. I think when you meet the right person it'll go out the window; also IEEs are more hunter than hunted, so it may not even matter or even work to your benefit to be calibrated your way. not everyone is meant to be an aggressor, but I was just trying to portray the Fi way of looking at it

I think you're probably right about that, I don't think it would be much of an issue if I had more experience with those kinds of interactions and I don't tend to go out of my way to seek them out. So yes, you're right I would be a bit cautious because I wouldn't be very sure about the best way to go about showing my intentions

And risk involves the possibility of getting hurt. If yer weak don't get into flirtation. Or relationships in general. Or life.

That reminds me of a poster I've seen. "You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore"

Yes. Indeed! That's why getting into somebody is generally called "testing the waters" and relationship has the word ship in it.
