This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Don't flirt with someone single if you're not interested, don't flirt with someone in a relationship if you're not interesting in breaking it.

It's just that simple.

I wonder if you have a different definition of flirting, because the end goal of flirting is not necessarily to gain a relationship.

yeah, flirting for fun can be ... fun, but obviously OOP wasn't te only one to read more into that. There's a line between "platonic" flirting and getting someone's hopes up.

Miscomunications can happen. She probably wasn't aware that what she meant as friendly behviour was comming across as serious flirting to other people. No need to instantly suspect malice, she was obviously shocked and shamed by the result, so much so that she quit her job, which seems rather extreme to me.
