I can't help but wonder how I am perceived. Do people think I'm a slut? a tease? a prude? normal? shy? embarassed? confident? unsure? etc...
I think I definitely used to be perceived as a tease. I used to be an even bigger flirt than I am now but with pretty much no follow through. I think I just wanted to get to the point of someone wanting me and then I'd backtrack in my flirting. (And no, it wasn't to THAT point or anything. I'm not cruel.)
Now I'm not so sure. I'm in one of those moods where I really want to read some people's minds and see what they're thinking about me.

I often wonder how I'm perceived, too - not necessarily in sexual terms like you've illustrated, but by people in general.
Often, your relationship status and what you want from guys will be the sole judgement factor of how men - and some other women - see you, in those respects.
I wonder if the other girls in the office think I'm a bit eccentric... I panic that something I've said might have been taken the wrong way, and such like.
But yeah, I catch your drift.
Yeah like how people sometimes think I'm snobby because I'll be shy/quiet.
You're right, Larissa, I am definitely a flirt but no longer would think people see me as a tease.
Laurie/Buggy;): I have a couple of friends I'd like to read the minds of. Just on a few subjects.
i was just wondering the exact same thing on my way to work today. actually i was trying to define myself while i was at it. i find that i get people thinking that i'm a goodie two shoes or i'm a real wild child. i think i'm somewhere in between. and then i wondered if i'm a flirt. i do flirt sometimes but it doesn't neccesarily mean a whole lot.
Is flirting and being charming the same thing?
I always thought the best way to figure out how you might be perceived by others is to watch home movies of yourself interacting with other people and having conversations.
Flirting and being charming are definitely not the same thing...
you can be charming to anyone, to "make" them like you. You can only flirt with guys you like...
Hard to explain.
ahh so does this mean i've really just been charming instead of flirty 'coz i don't necessary like everyone i 'flirt' with? haha!
Hahahha, good point, Jo.
I would think this is more a question to ask the guys in your life. Women are the worst at summing up another woman.
Two things that bother me most is -
1. The possibility of having a woman suffering PMS cut my hair
and
2. Being perceived as a snob because in the "real world" I am painfully shy.
And both involve women!
I have to admit, I'm guilty of passing judgements before getting to know someone.
Me, too, Gayla. I am sometimes thought of as snobby as a result of shyness/quietness but I pass that same judgement for others. I think I've gotten better at reminding myself not to assume things.
But you're right, it's guy's opinions I"m curious about right now!
