Earlier today or yesterday, someone on Facebook expressed that straight women never compliment other women on their eyes, and that doing so is pretty clear flirtation. I've been wondering, off and on about the accuracy of that statement since I've never really been good at flirtation, and have, like, no experience being flirty as a woman.

Just now, though, I recalled playing Wylde Flowers. Amira, the aggressively flirty lesbian doctor in the game kind of makes me weak in the knees with her comments on things like my character's "lovely eyes." Maybe there's something to this!

Do any women I know, queer or straight, have thoughts on this that would confirm or refute this concept? Inquiring minds want to know!

With a little bit of advice and feedback, I have a personal ad written up. Rather than just looking at the free and electronics sections of Craigslist, I opened up the personals section as I thought about posting it. The nature of most of what is there makes me uncomfortable, making me shy away from the thought of putting something out there myself. Maybe I'll think about reactivating my FL account and posting there in a personals-oriented group.

But, as I've talked about with a few other people on DW or LJ or Facebook, flirting is difficult or impossible for me. There aren't existing models for that activity that work for me. The women (because it's only been women) I've been involved with simply expressed a direct interest in me. Maybe just directly expressing what I want and seeing if there's someone out there who likes that idea is what I need to try. I'm scared of having to deal with responses that make me uncomfortable from people who want something else, but hopefully, if I try this, I will muddle through dealing with or ignoring them.
