What is the Flirtable Facebook Application?
Flirtable allows Facebook users to find people to flirt with online and off. The app works a lot like Hot or Not. You type in the age and sex of the type of person you’re looking for and Flirtable will present you with a stream of photos of potential flirters. You can either skip the person if you’re not interested or “Flirt” with them if you are interested.
If the person you flirt with flirts back (meaning they’re interested too) you can start sending messages to them or sending them gifts. Flirtable is the non-confrontational way to tell someone you’re interested in them.
An interesting feature in Flirtable is that they rank people on their flirtability. You start out as a “Starter Flirt.” As you flirt more and more, your ranking goes up. The app produces a list of the “Most Flirtable” Facebook users.

When someone pokes you on Facebook does it mean they fancy you?
Yes. Poking someone is an online-tribal way of flirting. The sequence usually goes poke – poke back – wall message – wall reply – silence – poke – poke back – babies

The Zen of Poke: A Facebook Story
“When we created the poke, we thought it would be cool to have a feature without any specific purpose…” – Facebook Help Topic
A poke could mean any of the following:

flirting IRL goes like this…
The Body Language of Flirting
Researches have found that there is a direct relation between the states of feeling that we experience and between our gestures. So if you are feeling happy your gestures will take a form that is different than the form it will take if you were feeling sad. So if you managed to know the gesture associated with a certain emotional state you will be able to detect the presence of this emotional state. The same goes for flirting because it’s just an emotional state, if you knew the gestures and the body language changes associated with the state of flirting you will easily know if someone is trying to flirt with you.

want to talk about the concept of “flirting“, and why it’s so important that you understand exactly what it is and how to do it with women.
To begin with, women know what flirting is and they respond very differently to flirting communication than they do to typical social communication. If you understand flirting and sexual tension, you can begin conversations with women and have them instantly feeling attraction for you. If you don’t understand how flirting and sexual tension work, then you’re either going to have to become famous or make a lot of money to be successful with women.
