It's funny, but I never realized how much I used to flirt until I stopped doing it. Now I tend to check out the board a couple of times a day, and if I don't see anything that peaks my curiousity I end up not saying anything.

I also realize just how many threads are devoted to flirting, not that there's anything wrong with that you understand, it's just a real eye opener.

I hope everyone is well and happy in their own little corner of the world.:)

Yeah, I stopped flirting for a whiles and I understand what you mean completely. Not just in Lit, but completely, I became an observer about it all, and it was really quite interesting.. For one thing, some people seem to think that all flirting is completely harmless and that both sides always know that it is just flirting.. Funny thing is, that the ones who think that, are the ones who tend to end up hurting others often, and not feeling any remorse over it.. (not noticed this at all here at Lit.. just something I've noticed in life)

well, yeah, but I'm an incurable flirt in the real world too. I don't think my wife minds it as much in here...
 
I'm an incurable flirt in r/l as well, but most know that so no hurt feelings.

Here, on the boards, its completely different - everyone flirts, and most accept that it's all in play. I mean, look at all the flirting we straight women do with other women!

In R/L.
I actually think my wife just rolls her eyes. I do have to be careful about not stepping on the toes of other men. One of the couples in our little circle of friends includes an ex-girlfriend of mine for example. Her hubby is pretty cool with that past, but I am still careful. In another example, my writing partner and I are almost scarey in our connection, finishing sentences, flirting, etc. It is better to tone that down around her hubby. For that matter, even my SO is a little wary there. I think it is just because BP420 and I are sooooo connected.

You know when I flirt with you and look at your AV and think about kissing your cute derriere, I feel like I'm dancing with lightning, I don't know where that part comes from.

Really? How odd.

Carl's the one that came up with it.

Cute?

Try outstanding, delectable or luscious!
Kittens are cute, that ass is a work of art :)

-Colly
 
This thread title was a blatant bait-and-switch.

I'm calling the...the...pornography forum content regulators, flirtation teaser division.

Not that that AV of yours need anymore innuendo, but everytime I see it I find myself thinking: Look....a gorgeous woman...beding over...to touch her ankles...
 
I do not flirt in real life. Way too scared.

When I was in high school, which is where most of us learn about this stuff, even saying "You look nice" to a girl usually collected me a quick punch in the head.

I kinda got out of the habit.

Even here I'm uncomfortable flirting. It's taken me months to do as little as I do now.

Liar. I'll bet you've surreptuously pinched half of the behinds in this forum. It's always the quiet ones.

:D

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with flirtiing, although some people can take it to heart when the person you were flirting with yesterday is now flirting with someone else. I always knew where I stood while flirting, to me it was always a way to brighten both her day and mine. Interestingly though, nothing has ever come from flirting. By that I mean I've never found that special someone, just by flirting.

And although the woman I have fallen for was a fan of my work, she never saw the board. Ironic really, that after all this time the woman of my dreams peaked my curiousity with a single E-Mail thanking me for my stories.

If I'd not taken the time to reply, I'd still be flirting now. I also know that some posters don't like these flirt threads, especially on the BB. The times I would see arguments forming over people hi-jacking a thread, with what the thread originator considered a serious topic.

I do believe that flirting is in our nature, and we simply can't help doing it. For us as a species, it's a way to cut through our hidden feelings and let the object of our desire know that we are interested.

:cool: I never flirt in real life. For one thing, my wife is very jealous and would accuse me of having an affair with the woman, even though I've never had one. For another thing, I'd be afraid of being taken seriusly.

:D I flirt some here but not much. In some past threads, I have gone far beyond flirting, even to the point of making indecent proposals, and they were to women who lived close enough to me that we could have followed up on them if we had wanted to.

For the most part, flirting on Lit. is totally safe. After all, we are frequently thousands of miles from the person we are flirting with and don't even know each other's real names. There are exceptions to this but that's a general rule.:p
