In your opinion are these messages flirty or not? A is male, B is female.

A - Hey, how did the class go? I never made it, sorry! Let me know which one it is and I will do it tonight.
B - I’ve not done it yet, it’s tomorrow at 5.30 😀
A - ah OK, will try and jump on it tomorrow 😀good luck, get near the front 😂
B - I’ll do my best! I’m going with my friend so we’ll be barging our way to the front 😂

Nope. Light-years from flirty.

Pumperthepumper · 30/06/2022 23:02

Not at all.

ManateeFair · 30/06/2022 23:03

Flirty, yes, because A is using a class to try and arrange contact with B, and apologising for not making a previous such meeting. Why not just go to the class without the texting and then A is either there or not?

Since when was it flirty for two people to chat about whether they’re going a class they both attend, or to arrange to meet up? This morning a male colleague and I were texting about whether we’re going to a pub quiz on Tuesday. We don’t fancy each other; we’re just mates who each wanted to check if the other was going because we weren’t sure if we’d know anyone else there that well.

Not in the effing slightest 🙄

tararabumdeay · 30/06/2022 23:13

A (male) A - Hey, how did the class go? I never made it, sorry! Let me know which one it is and I will do it tonight. Trying to connect with something in common. 'Sorry' suggests some sort of pre plan.

B - I’ve not done it yet, it’s tomorrow at 5.30 😀 Smiley face suggests it's still a proposed meeting.

Repetition of 'near the front' suggests previous meetings and plans.

MissMaple82 · 30/06/2022 23:13

So A is your husband/partner

lljkk · 30/06/2022 23:17

I'll go against grain & say mildly flirty. Way too many smileys to not be flirty.

maddy68 · 30/06/2022 23:18

Not flirty in the slightest

ABBAsnumberonefan · 30/06/2022 23:19

Nope

LeafHunter · 30/06/2022 23:20

I don’t think they’re flirty. I’ve had that sort of chat before and never assumed it was - maybe I’ve missed out on lots of potential relationships…thankfully dh was pretty clear 😂

Smidge001 · 30/06/2022 23:21

Not flirty in the slightest.

VillanellesCoat · 30/06/2022 23:27

LTB! 😉

Palmfrond · 30/06/2022 23:29

If I was A, and was romantically interested in B, I would find B’s last message a bit deflating, a bit friend-zoney.
If however I wasn’t interested it would be quite normal.
Its a big ask to read much into that snippet without context.
Is this a yoga class, btw?

Misstes · 30/06/2022 23:31

If that’s flirting things have changed a lot since I was younger !!

spotcheck · 30/06/2022 23:33

Well, no.
Of course if A is your husband, and he is supposed to be working late, but is instead going to classes with B - totally different!

AgentMagenta · 30/06/2022 23:34

IMO, not at all flirty at all in the slightest.

I tried to picture the exchange as being between me and a bloke who I do [an interest] with. Absolutely no romantic feelings between us. And this message exchange reads as two people who do a class. Not (necessarily) any romantic feelings there at all.

steff13 · 30/06/2022 23:35

Not even a little.

Cakeandcardio · 30/06/2022 23:37

If the man is already in a relationship and is texting another woman like this to arrange a meet up and initiating a chat then I could be suspicious. Doesn't seem overly flirty but I think the context is key here.

georgarina · 30/06/2022 23:44

Depends on the context. If it were my DP texting an opposite sex acquaintance I might be uncomfortable, and I wouldn't be texting like this with a man in a relationship because it is a bit familiar.

Xmasbaby11 · 30/06/2022 23:46

Not at all. Just normal friendly. Looks like the messages my friend and I send each other!

Floppy234 · 30/06/2022 23:47

Not flirty at all

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 30/06/2022 23:48

No not flirty

ladydimitrescu · 30/06/2022 23:49

Not even a little bit.

Have you looked at your boyfriends phone, or are you B and have a thing for A?

redwaterbottle · 30/06/2022 23:51

If day the tone was familiar verging on flirty.

GreenClock · 30/06/2022 23:52

Cordial. Not flirty.
