How do you flirt with someone you may be interested in?

Thank you. Still wondering how much "or more" do you feel is OK.

You didn't ask me... but I think I could handle up to about 8 years. I wouldn't want to be "an old lady" while my partner is still looking for someone closer to his age to grow old with... and I sure wouldn't want to be taking care of a 75-80 year old if I was still in my 40s, 50s or maybe even 60. Hope I haven't offended anyone who's in a May/December relationship. I'd want to grow old together and that simply doesn't work if one is already "old." JMO

Thanks. I was just curious because I have seen some in their 60's who are not in good health, and I have seen some who are 90, and still dancing, so I guess I was wondering how much the number mattered. I suppose there really is no magic number. Every relationship has it's own chemistry and formula that works, or it doesn't. Love doesn't seem to own a calculator.
 

not everyone knows how to flirt - it's a behaviour pattern that takes many forms in many different countries ; but I have many friends who have never developed the 'skill' and some have asked me to teach them how to flirt - !!!! really suppose I could run a business doing that like dancing classes and get rich - but it takes time and don't always come easy. either you grew up learning the skill or not - developing later in life can be hard and someetimes never!! but it can also be fun and many people enjoy 'the behaviour' and thrive on it. - some call it 'chatting up' someone. If you don't understand the phrase 'chatting up' then you need throwing in the deep end!!
all these comments apply to both sexes by the way|??

I do think there are emotional and physical and social cut off points where if you are so much younger or so much older it cannot work [unless you are just interested in the money - and then it's sorta pretend flirting!!]

I used to have some great flirting dreams once but they all stopped and I don't know why they did?
