FAQ
Does the ability to flirt mean that there is good chemistry?
Flirtation is another area where many people have difficulties. The problem isn’t flirtation itself. Just as we have seen to be true with sex, flirting can be stimulating and feel good. It’s a way to express interest and pique the other’s interest by sexualizing the communication. It’s a form of seduction, whether verbal or nonverbal, conscious or unconscious. Yet this is still being very different than being open and honest. Problems arise when you don’t know when you’re flirting, or mistake it for more than it is. Chemistry implies a multi-level connection and understanding that exists independently and in addition to the exchange of sexual interest through flirtation.

About Daniel Linder, MFT
Relationships. I was born with a keen sense about relationships, was always assessing how close and intimate people are with each other. I had a knack for relationships. The importance of relationships cuts to the core of who I am. The combination of clinical training, 25 years of professional experience treating dysfunctional, non-intimate couples and families, as well as rigorous self analysis has given me a lot to work with. I put what seemed to come naturally to me under a microscope in an effort to break the process of building healthy relationships down to concrete essentials: Understanding of Basic Principles, Communication Skills, Self-realization and Intimacy.
