Episode 2371: Dr. Gary Lewandowski dives into the delicate balance between subtlety and success in flirting. While subtle flirtation may protect self-esteem, the research suggests that direct approaches are far more effective at communicating interest. By embracing clear signals, individuals can avoid misinterpretation and foster more genuine connections. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/a-flirters-dilemma-subtlety-vs-success/ Quotes to ponder: "Much like a tree falling in a forest, if a flirting attempt occurs and the intended receiver doesn't realize it, did flirting ever really happen?" "Direct methods are best. An ambiguous approach is less threatening, but ultimately not very effective." "People aren't going to do it in obvious ways because they don't want to be embarrassed, flirting looks a lot like being friendly." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
