im not really hurt by being called a tease. i just flirt a lot naturally and some guys (and gurls!) call me a tease as a joke. its a part of me because i just play with people for fun. its not like im leading them on emotionally at all. if anything ill take it as a compliment haha

There are many much worse things to be called than a tease. If one guy calling you a tease makes you insecure, then go to a counselor and spend some time building up your self-esteem so you have a thicker skin.

I don’t think being a tease is a bad thing, it’s part of my personality. I am very playful and teasing, but I never go over board. It’s not a term that strikes me emotionally, I laugh and say you just can’t handle me. Really no point in getting hurt of every little word someone throws at you, because honestly no guy should really be expecting sex from a couple of sassy taunts.

I understand that the word can be misused for a girl who flirts and doesn’t put out, however I’ve always thought of a tease as someone who leads people on (not necessarily sexually but emotionally). I think of a tease as someone (of either gender, I’ve had boys do this to me) who knowingly toys with another person’s emotions, because they like the attention. I remember one of my friends doing this to a boy who was completely smitten with her. She knew he liked her and would joke about what a tease she was, it was sad to see, she even used him to get back at her ex and then discarded him afterwards. At the same time there was a boy I knew who thought he was in love with me. I tried very hard to make it clear to him that I wasn’t interested, without hurting him too much and still maintaining our friendship, I could have been called a tease because I was continually friendly and loving towards him, even though I tried to make it clear that my love was platonic, however I don’t think that type of “teasing” is wrong. I also think flirting is fine, unless you know that the person you’re flirting with is seriously emotionally invested you, and you have no intention on ever being with them, or feel nothing.
