Stephanie Faddis - Why We Flirt

"In primal terms, they're physical signals that you don't intend to dominate, nor do you intend to flee--both useful messages potential mates need to send before they can proceed to that awkward talking phase."


Paraphrase x3:


In primal terms, they're physical indications that you don't intend to make the first move, nor do you intend to refuse any attention--both useful signals possible mates need to send before they can proceed to that awkward talking phase.


Basically, they're signs that you don't intend to put yourself out there by making the first move, nor would you necessarily turn down attention--both useful signals people need to observe before they can move on to that awkward talking phase.

Basically, they're signs that you don't intend to swallow your pride by making the first move, but you would entertain the idea of someone paying attention to you--both useful observations for people looking to hook up, casually date, or something more serious.

Thesis: "One of the reasons we flirt in this way is that we can't help it. We're programmed to do it, whether by biology or culture."

Freewrite: Although flirting is usually frowned upon as something voluntarily teasing and suggestive, it can be further proven that flirting is ingrained genetically and hormonally as a way for people to help break the ice and evolve their relationships.
