How YOU doin?

Got it.


She clearly wants you.

That's why I'm not flirting back. DSD's husband may think I'm trying to nail her.


He might enjoy the show though Smiley: sly


Do I get to play too? Apparently it has been determined that DSD and I are the same poster. I think I'm liking the implications. Smiley: inlove

Actually, it's only flirting if you fight back.

Like if she flicks invisible lint off my arm and I punch her in the mouth?

Mehh. I flirt all the time. Me being a ugly cu[i][/i]nt usually defuses the risk of it being seen as anything other than harmless fun.

As for whether a S.O. gets pissy with someone flirting with their woman, it's all about their degree of jealousy. (I know guys who'll flatten any man that looks at their wife, and some who'd see a party-snog as harmless fun).

I enjoy the company of women and a frisson of sexual chemistry can enhance the banter, provided we both know it's not going anywhere.

The way I speak to women I have genuine ambitions about is very different than when I'm just enjoying their giggliness.

So I suppose that insipid comment about 'intention' has some truth.

I think most daily flirting in unintentional. It just depends on your comfort level with yourself and strangers, people who are very comfortable tend to be more active in conversation and tend to be seen as flirty. Considering how quickly most people want to get through things without having to interact with other people, any time some one takes the time to talk and show interest it is considered flirting. Now you still can be flirty by intention when you are trying to progress a conversation to lead to something else, but I think the more common flirting is just people being social.

I also think flirting is a healthy thing. It keeps you up on your interaction skills.

Simple, Jophiel.

The next time you find yourself at the grocery store, and you spot an attractive, yet sophisticated looking women say in the produce section of Jewel. Go over and grab yourself a cucumber, and then approach her and say "You know I think vegetables can be very sensuous, don't you?"

Now that is flirting.








No, vegetables are sensual. People are sensuous.


Otter, dat you? (Animal House FTW!)

I'm a harmless flirt. I'm a Scorpio. It can't be helped. However, I never flirt with someone in the presence of my wife because it would be hurtful to her and then it would be REALLY hurtful to me. While I slept, most likely. With a hammer.

So I usually stick to flirting with my wife. I sleep better at nights.

I recall discussions with friends of mine about flirting; generally it was regarded as a welcome social lubricant, the grease that helps interpersonal action run more smoothly. I don't know that I ever bought the argument - after all, a formalized behavioral code serves the same purpose in aiding interaction, albeit in a very heavy-handed way.

Regardless of the implied usefulness of flirting, it is in and of itself a way for we clever, sexual creatures to show off our plumage, usually without leading to egregious disputes over property and propriety.

We're still a bunch of kids posturing in the schoolyard, trying to be taller than the next.


Counter-question: Is flattery flirting, or it's own separate category of interaction?

I think it is a matter of perception. I am flattered when someone kindly flirts with me.

What about people you know? Flirting isn't just affected by your comfort level with strangers. Someone who's quiet around strangers could be talkative and flirty around someone they know.

Friends are the exception because with friends you are comfortable but there is a underlying level on whether they are open to flirting or not. I know some friends would be weirded out if some of their friends flirted with them. Me I am easy, I just flirt with everyone.

Nobby has been known to flirt with me. Nobby is certifiable.

I rest my case.

Beeing that prety much any and everything that can be labled as flirting is totally subjective and dependant on the involved parties.....

I still don't see how men can possibly ever understand women. I think she was flirting, she was being nice. I think she is being nice, she's trying to sleep with me.

I somehow ended up with two kids with what started as "flirting" and I'll be damned if I have any idea how the hell it happened. The start I mean, I think I got the kids thing down, least I hope I do.

I basically treat someone as just being nice until she shoves her hands in my pants or something along those lines, it's much less headache for everyone involved that way.

Of course, that's what I'd do if I didn't have a signifcant other already.

I admit it, I like flirting. It's fun and harmless social intercourse.

One thing I find interesting is how much straight women flirt with each other.

I think it has to do with the safety factor. You can't get any safer knowing it's absolutely not going to be taken the wrong way. Plus, we straight women who flirt with one another also know it drives the men wild wondering Smiley: wink

Then you have the real flirting, which is only used for my man. It's the stare he gets when he catches my eyes, my lips curled in a hint of a smile, sometimes coupled with an arched eyebrow. It's snaking my hands over his arms to find his hand and clasp it. Using my thumb to make small circles on the base of his palm. Rubbing my foot lightly on his legs under the table while we're at dinner. Those types of flirtations is what I use when I want it to lead to something. And he knows it Smiley: grin





OK I got a hard on.
