Do you prefer to spend your time flirting, or in more intense interactions with people you interact with socially?

Some people seem to enjoy relationships that rely heavily on flirting. Other people seem to enjoy a more private but intense kind of interaction. Part of it, I’m sure, has to do with the circumstances—whether you’re in a relationship or not, at work, at play, how much time you have, where you are (say supermarket vs in a restaurant, vs sitting next to someone on a train). But overall, whether online, or in person, do you find yourself leaning more towards one style or the other? How do you account for your preference?
