Is it normal that i'm habitually flirtatious?

Okay so here's the issues. The other day a bunch of friends told me that I come off as if I'm flirting, saying that when they first met me, they felt as if I were flirting with them. I was also told that I do it to anyone I meet, and that I don't notice I'm doing it; I didn't really believe them until they recorded me talking to them, and a new girl I met. From what I saw, it does appear as if I was flirting, though It's mostly friendly. I'm not doing it on purpose, and I think It's just a habit that picked up. I even caught myself doing it the other day. I don't know why I'm like that, and I don't really think It's a problem. I'm an 18 year old gay guy if that may have some impact on this habit. Though to be honest, I'm not that effeminate nor flamboyant of a gay guy. So are any of you like that? Do you guys think it might cause a problem later on? An interesting thing is that my friends say I give them butterflies(even the straight guys).

    I'm the same way except I'm a bi girl lol... Everyone tells me I'm a wicked flirt and I dont even notice it... It caused problems with my last relationship but he was crazy controlling and jealous and would hav been like that even if I wasn't a flirt... My current boyfriend has no issue with it tho cuz he trusts me and knos I don't mean too... Just explain it to ur partner before it becomes and issue and if they can't accept u for who u r they might not b right for u :)

    I get this a lot, too, but only when I'm in a particularly social mood. I think the excitement of being around people and meeting new ones (for us extroverts) can sometimes make us happy to the point where we just seem... flirtatious!

    Also I don't think mild, casual flirting is even bad. I "flirt" with married friends, acquaintances that have partners, etc. all the time. Not to the extent that I'm actually trying to attract them, but just in that I like to make sexual jokes, love smothering people with compliments, and like to make them smile.

    Some just say I'm a ham, though.
