    I mean that’s the whole point of flirting. You establish a rapport and read the social cues to see if there’s reciprocation. Smiles, eye contact, etc. The problem of course, is misreading.

      but HonoraryManacian said it’s only allowed if it’s reciprocated.

      it’s not allowed because it can’t be reciprocated until after you do it.

        I mean there’s a large category of conversation that can lead to further flirtation without being considered initial flirtation. That’s the whole point, escalating socially acceptable requests.
