Five styles of flirting identified | An assistant professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, Jeffrey Hall, has identified five styles of flirting. Hall, who recently completed study into
styles of flirting among dating adults, surveyed more than 5,100 people regarding
their methods of communicating romantic interest. Five styles of flirting identified
are: physical, traditional, polite, sincere and playful. Physical flirting involves
the expression of sexual interest in a potential partner. People who scored high
in this form of flirting often develop relationships quickly, have more sexual
chemistry and have a greater emotional connection to their partners. Traditional
flirts think men should make the first move and women should not pursue men. Because
they adopt a more passive role in dating, women with this style are likely to
report trouble getting men's attention and are less likely to flirt or be flattered
by flirting. Traditional men often know a potential partner for a longer time
before approaching them. Both genders tend to be introverted and prefer a more
intimate dating scene. The polite style of flirting focuses on proper manners
and nonsexual communication. Although they are less likely to approach a potential
partner and do not find flirting flattering, they do tend to have meaningful relationships.
Sincere flirting is based on creating emotional connections and communicating
sincere interest. Although women tend to score higher in this style, it is advocated
by both genders. Relationships involve strong emotional connections and sexual
chemistry and are typically meaningful. People with playful flirting styles often
flirt with little interest in a long-term romance. However, they find flirting
fun and enhancing to their self-esteem. They are less likely to have important
and meaningful relationships. Hall said that for the most part, there was little
difference between genders within each flirting style.
