Do women know how to flirt? I call smiling and saying "Hi" being nice, not flirting...

I know I'm not the best or biggest flirt but I used to have nice skills when I applied them.  I hear a lot of women say they flirt by giving a guy a smile and saying hi.  Hmmm, if you were in the south, you'd never catch a guy's interest because that's seen as plain manners down there.  In NY however, you may start a fight LOL.  Nah, but seriously.  When I see women do smile and say "Hi", I just say hi back and keep walking because it makes me think they are just being nice.  I'm sure most guys would do the same and not think that's an invite but maybe it's just me and I don't catch the flirting signals or something.  Ladies, does it work?  If not, how do you take it from there to get your point across?  And guys, would that "lure you in" or would it take more effort?  Discuss....

    What does a guy want. Men don't approach women anymore. Should we?

    How you would flirt with a guy depends on your first impression of him. In New York people(men) flirt all the time; most common flirts would be :"hey beautiful how you doing" now with this you will get no response because women don't want to hear you say that and think of Wendy Williams. A power flirt from a female would be just like this.....She spares at you smile, looks you up and down smile even more, pretty much sizing you up. most women will not make the first verbal conversation, but she will spare you down until the light changes. Even when crossing the street she looks some more. On the train she may smell you and say you smell nice, she may touch you more than two times, if you get off at the same stop she may even try and walk with you with out you knowing she is walking with you...For the most part you guys need to step your flirt game up. EX: Hi my name is William(your real name), I was wonder if it would be at all possible for us to get to know one another. I am SINGLE and looking to date a nice lady; would it be ok for me to give you my number.Rather you get turned down or not women like bold gentlemen.

    Janice, sure a woman can approach a man. After all, you're all independent and strong right? You don't need a man and you're smarter so you shouldn't have any problems, right? LOL It should be an easy thing to do considering you're all so perfect and smart. As far as men approaching women, I'll be righting some reasons why they don't.

    Silver, thanks for all of that but I don't think you comprehended my questions above. I am in New York a lot and ride the subway quite a bit. I've NEVER heard or seen what you mention happening on the subway before. So I'm not sure where you'd see a woman smell a guy or tell him he did or touch him. It just doesn't happen. Most women don't get that close to a guy they don't know.

    And as far as guys go with flirting, I'm not them. I don't use the Wendy line because it's corny and she stole it anyway. I can and used to be bold in my flirting but have found women lacking and have no reason anymore. And as far as men flirting or approaching women, I'll be writing about that shortly. But thank you for your answer. I appreciate your input.

    The question isnt "do women know how to flirt", the question is "does a man know when a woman is flirting with him"?

    wow....this is interesting to see how different both men and women perceive flirting. I like all the things that silver springs said and it does work. My last relationship was with a man who I used a little more aggressive approach. I spoke to him with casual conversation. Invited him to another event I was attending that night by giving him my number on a business card. I hand wrote every number possible (landline, etc.,). Consequently, he called 2 days later and we were in a relationship for over 2 years. Though we are no longer together it was some of the best two years of my life and I would have never had the opportunity unless I initiated my interest via flirting. Men you should step it up but women they need to have a reason to. Will continue to flirt in California : )
