Am I flirting?

If you urgently need to know whether something is flirting, you're welcome to decamp to http://amiflirting.com/submit or send correspondence to amiflirting (at) tumblr.com. Will we assume you're flirting with us? Only if you want us to.

43. If I show up when he’s working every week and sometimes attempt to start a conversation?

This is our first question from the new submission page at amiflirting.com/submit. (Ooh, submission! We’ll save that for another post.) Thanks, anonymous reader! By all means, keep the questions coming.

We have to start by resolving some ambiguity here, because the answer to the question depends on what you mean by “every week,” and how far out of your normal routine these weekly stops really are. If you’re a vegetarian who shows up at the local burger joint once a week on Saturdays to drink water and make eyes at the fry cook, you’re definitely flirting. If you’re getting your teeth cleaned three times a week because you enjoy being eye-level with your dental hygienist’s package, you may have come to the wrong blog. I think you’re looking for “Am I Stalking?”

It’s good that you’re attempting to start a conversation, but it’s difficult to determine whether you’re flirting if we don’t know the content of what you’re saying. If you send your clothes out every week so you can ask the cute guy at the cleaners what he’s doing after work, you’re flirting. If you’re a regular somewhere, and you’re just making the kind of conversation regulars make (“Oh, there’s something new on the menu, and you put in a bigger TV. When did that happen?”), then you’re probably not.
