Flirtation Style
Flirtation Style refers to the characteristic ways a person signals interest, attraction, or playfulness within romantic or intimate interactions.
What This Really Means
Flirtation Style describes how attraction is expressed through tone, timing, humor, attention, or physical cues rather than through explicit intent.
It overlaps with Play Style and Communication Patterns in Relationships, shaping how signals are sent and interpreted between partners.
Within a relationship assessment platform, flirtation style is inferred from patterns of engagement, responsiveness, and comfort with ambiguity.
The concept helps explain compatibility dynamics by distinguishing expression preferences from desire or commitment levels.
