The document analyzes data from a study on social media interactions between boys and girls regarding flirtation. It finds that over half of both boys and girls would match the number of kisses sent in messages. Boys are more likely to increase kisses if they like the girl to try to get a matched response. The results from asking if liking a social media post is considered flirtatious were mixed for boys but girls said it depends on the attractiveness of the liker. The study also found that girls are more likely than thought to use social media like liking posts to try and impress boys.

Is a 'like' considered as flirtation?
Yes No Maybe
I asked the boys and girls if someone ‘liked’ their social media post, would they consider it as
a flirtatious sign.
Results were fairly even between the boys with some saying yes, no and maybe but the girls
said it all depended on the attractiveness of the ‘liker’ and whether they have any interest in
them.
Next I asked would any of them ever use any kind of social media to impress someone. I.e
liking a post to grab their attention, or commenting on a photo, or maybe sending a
Snapchat…
Apparently us girls are a lot more brave than we thought and would use it to try and impress
a boy.

Checking a post
Yes Rarely post Wing it
What would you use?
Text Facebook message Snapchat
Grammar? Do you think about how to word your social media before you post it?
Out of everyone who does post, they would all but one make sure the wording and spelling of
their social media is accurate to avoid looking stupid. None of the girls would wing it,
definitely in keeping with girls are better at English than boys ;)
Would you use social media as a security barrier? I asked this question in terms of if a friend
gave you the number of someone you liked but that person didn’t know you had their
number, would you use social media to chat to them a bit before hand…
Text seems to have won, most don’t mind the little awkward convo when you first get
someone’s number. However Facebook messaging would be the next thing, followed by
Snapchat has provides humour.
