I wouldn't say I'm reaction seeking, I've always considered my self a naturally flurtatious person so that is kind of natural for me. However I'm used to girls being happy to flirt back a little, open up a little more perhaps. My flirting usually puts girls more at ease. But if anything I'd say it was having the opposite effect here. Sure no one is slapping me and storming off but I can't help but notice how topics get changed more often after I start flirting.
