Christian flirting - what does that look like?


Yes, we said it. Flirting. The recent chats in The Meeting Room at Cache' Connections have revealed there is some confusion on the topic of flirting. For instance, "but I have been accused of not knowing how to flirt, and having a hard time personally sorting out when it's appropriate to treat my brothers in Christ as more ...?"

ExpertEmily: "Good clarification....you don't have to flirt...some people generally flirt more than others and some never flirt. More than flirting, guys and girls can pick up whether or not you are "available" and this is seen through your body language, what you say, etc. Sometimes, in the Christian world, "flirting" is seen negatively, but I don't think that we should call it something "bad" but some people don't have the skills to flirt or the know how and that is totally fine."

So, do you know how to flirt? Has this even been defined for Christians?

Hi!
I was in the chatroom last night too and was also wondering about flirting...is there a "christian" way to flirt in order not to come across as being "bad" or "unholy"? I hope that more will be discussed about this topic both in the chatroom as well as live at future Cache events by professional christian counselors, as topics such as this need to be addressed.
Thanks!
