A rhetorical question for all you flirtmasters in the Lounge tonight!

[southlandshari]

Let's say I have a friend who has a bit of a crush on a DUer here he/she doesn't know very well. My friend is usually very comfortable flirting and goofing around with most folks here, but this new person leaves him/her a bit tongue-tied.

Any advice for my friend?

Again, this is only a rhetorical, hypothetical, completely unrooted in reality type of question. Just wondering, that's all!

:hide:

[Blue-Jay]

1. A "friend"?

:P

[southlandshari]

8. Uh huh. A friend.

I promise!

It's all hypothetical anyway. Not reality based. For real. Believe me. I kid you not. Why would I lie?

;)

[jpgray]

2. Booze

Then tears, then some coffee. Then maybe lunch, then a nap, then a sandwich, then some toast, then cheese, and then sleep.

[southlandshari]

14. Ok. Booze is good.

If I had a friend in this situation, I'd tell him/her to crack open the first beer. Or whatever it might be he/she likes to drink on such occasions.

:D

[Left Is Write]

3. You don't mean rhetorical.

That means you don't need or want an answer. :D

[ZombieNixon]

4. Should be "hypothetical"

No?

[southlandshari]

13. I used BOTH rhetorical AND hypothetical

Just to be sure everyone is on the same page here on the whole "this is not about me, I promise" part of my thread!

Jeez - you college types! Always with an AP stylebook tucked away somewhere!

;-)

[jpgray]

5. Maybe she wants to flirt using the technique of classical rhetoric

Would this fall under an intent to persuade, inform or entertain?

[southlandshari]

17. Why yes!

Yes it would!

In this make-believe scenario, that is!

}(

[johnnie]

6. If I were a flirtmaster, I might be able to help

The closest to flirting I get is when I get something in my eye and try to wink it out. Sorry.

[southlandshari]

21. You don't need to flirt, darlin', to be totally irresistable to me!

:hug:

Alas, of course, I'm not talking about myself, but my friend. My imaginary friend.

;)

[WCGreen]

7. Tell your friend to hang loose and see what happens....

It also depends on how this other person, who is now attracting your friends attention, behaves while on DU....

[southlandshari]

23. I feel the behavior of the other person

while on DU could certainly be an issue in this hypothetical situation.

What if, for example (and I think you are the perfect DUer to answer this one, darlin'!) - the person my friend finds intriguing is him/herself a flirtmaster of quite some prowess here?

That might just add to his/her confusion about how to get to know this person. Might it not?

What say you?

:evilgrin:

[WCGreen]

36. MAny times, and this is hypothetical, mind you,

A flirtmaster is disguising feelings he or she might have for someone by being flamboyant in his or her style while on the web....

But the minute there is a hint of something beyond a flirtatious post, that person may back away and find themselves confused that a flirtatious exchange may indeed be blossoming into something unexpected....

[southlandshari]

39. Ooo - very good insight into the heart and mind of a flirtmaster!

Forget hypotheticals - I'm filing that one away for furture reference, darlin'!

:D

[progmom]

9. you need to talk to yvr girl

she is the Queen of Flirt. ;)

[southlandshari]

26. Ok, will do!

:hi:

[progmom]

27. and btw

I'm glad you're still modding! :hi:

[southlandshari]

30. Awww...thanks!

:hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. ask him/her to go ahead and tell the person

that he/she has a crush on him/her


:silly:


its what i would do

[southlandshari]

35. Ok - that's an option worth discussing further...

Should my friend approach this in the forums or in private? And what should he/she say to this person?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

99. umm your friend should pm him/her

and let them know...that well they have a little crush on them

[southlandshari]

107. Excellent advice.

Check your inbox in five minutes, ok?

:evilgrin:


Just kidding - you already know that I have a crush on you!

I'll give my hypothetical friend your advice, though!

;)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

108. ha ha....

[southlandshari]

116. Maybe we should let them come to Tahiti with us....

My hypothetical friend and his/her hypothetical DU crush. What do you think?

:party:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

125. absolutely!

[flvegan]

11. Don't be tongue-tied. I'm harmless, really.

Speak your mind.

(And the rest will follow.)

[southlandshari]

96. I have come up with a dozen witty responses to that message, darlin'

And am opting to go with NONE of them so that this thread may stay open a while longer!

;)


That said, hey - as long as you're harmless, don't mind if I do:

[flvegan]

121. Where's the "turn around at the last minute" smilie?

In response to your pouncing one...

[southlandshari]

129. I don't know, but

I'm kind of partial to this one...




How about you?


On edit: Sorry, darlin' - let me kiss it and make it better....

[flvegan]

130. D'oh!

Well, that'll bring me back to reality.
*rubs cheek*

[southlandshari]

133. ROFL! Oh crap - LOL - gasp - can't breathe - WAIT!!!!

I thought she was KISSING him! It was called "smack"!

:rofl:


Hold one moment for amended smiley entry!

[flvegan]

134. Hello, hello!

That's a, uh, nice lookin' smilie you got there.

If I'm distracted at the gym today, I'll bet you can guess who I'm blaming.

*fans self*

[southlandshari]

137. Don't look at me.

I would NEVER come between you and your workout - not after you posted that pic a couple of weeks ago!

[flvegan]

138. What I'm thinking right now, would make you have to lock your own thread.

Uhhhh, huh. Yup.

[southlandshari]

139. .....

Ditto.

:hide:

[flvegan]

142. That's a lucky guy/gal there, that your "friend" is interested in.

'Specially if that smilie is any indication.

[Wapsie B]

12. I'd like to know

the answer to this one as well.

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Ask CaliforniaPeggy

Always gives the best answers, and lends a sense of peace and serenity....certainly calming O8)

Or

KitchenWitch, who is great at snark, snappy comebacks, and more!
(Mean this in the best way possible KW :hi:)

[southlandshari]

20. But what if one of them is my friend in question?

Just expanding the hypothetical, of course. But they ARE both my dear friends, so it is possible....

What if they are not resources for me? What then?

[Whoa_Nelly]

25. CP or KW will know who to refer you to

CaliforniaPeggy knows intuitively who to send you to for the best resource....definitely a Namaste soul type....most awesome.

And, KitchenWitch has got snark down to perfection. She also, will have great opinions and advice for your friend!

[khashka]

153. And here I was hoping this was

merely a thinly veiled attempt to get me to send you roses.....

Damn!

So.... now you introduced the subject.... who do CP and KW have the hots for? The Lounge is Gossip Central, but I promise to keep it to myself........


Khash.

[khashka]

16. Well, Ms, "Friend"

What works for me.....


1. Be direct. Dream it, be it.

2. Ask a third person to get involved. You know.... " My friend finds you very interesting but is a little shy...."

(You are not fooling anyone, girl, "my friend" indeed! So who is he?)


Khash.

[southlandshari]

18. I'm talking about a friend, I promise! Why won't anyone believe me?

If only I could be talking about you and me, darlin', the world would be a better place!

:hug:

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. Several suggestions to get started. All worked on me :)

Strike up an innocent conversation in a thread -- make certain your friend learns something of the "victim's" interest and he/she should post something that the target will notice -- it worked on me. :)

Then your friend should do a search on the target and learn his/her interests, approximately age, where the person lives, etc. -- and start repeated threds guaranteed to catch the target's interest -- it worked on me. :)

After collecting as much information as possible, your friend should mention having some information that the target will be extremely interested in learning. But your friend cannot have the information with him/her at that very moment. It is something that will be revealed a bit later -- it worked FOR me (notice how this is different from above). :)

In my case, it was the name of a book that was of interest to the other person. And I sent it to him via PM. Thus began a long history of PMs and now talk for hours on end (we live in different cities and haven't been able to meet IRL yet for several excellent reasons -- jobs, care of elderly parents and lack of mobility as a result of both). One day... :D

It isn't easy, but it can work. Hope this isn't too damn confusing. Make certain your friend reads everything that the target writes...it helps. My response to the thread that got us started was totally innocent -- I had been intimidated by the poster's depth of knowledge for a while, thought he was interesting, and was happy to take the plunge.

[southlandshari]

29. Ok - everyone reading this....tell me what kind of books you like!!!

My friend needs to know!

;)

Great advice, thank you very much!!

:hi:

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. You're welcome....

In my case, it was Irish history. But we knew that already about each other. Your friend needs to learn about the target's interests...then the thing about book or whatever bit of info that needs to be communicated will become clear.

:D

And since he no longer posts here (left, not tombstoned, and still a donor after more than a year) he won't read this.

On edit: Please know that I am not a flirtmaster. But I have flirted successfully on DU. Maybe that is part of my success.

[flvegan]

22. Seriously, if there were some sort of "flirting scale"

Then, on said 1-10 scale, he/she should drop a level 2 or 3. Easily played off if need be. Wait for response and escalation. Then self-escalate as desired.

In. Your. Face. Dr. Ruth.

[southlandshari]

24. Ok. This is good stuff.

So my hypothetical friend should play it very cool with the other DUer he/she hypothetically finds interesting, right?

Ok. I'm following your line of thinking. Let's say he/she hypothetically sees some mild response from this person in a thread he/she has posted. What then?

Man, all that time around those gentle cows has made you quite the sensitive man, flvegan. Thanks for the advice, darlin'!

:toast:

[flvegan]

38. What then?

How far did the response escalate?

Gotta feel that one out.

Maybe escalate 1 (one only!) level from there. He/she can always play it off like a playful response, in the spirit, etc. Let the other poster guide him/her, since he/she already knows how he/she feels. No sense alienating anyone in the process.

Example:
Let's say it were you and I, and your last statement was your playing it cool, so to speak. From that, I might post something like...

"Well thank you, and yes I do try to be sensitive, and understand things before being understood. Any good man would be sensitive in such a way. I'm very flattered that you'd take notice, as having seen you around here quite a bit, and noting that you took special notice of my picture in the last "post a photo" thread, I must say, I'm a little red-face. Blushing, even."

See...I've laid the groundwork that I'm certainly interested in drawing out your opinion. Why? Because my interest was already there, but is now escalated...

[southlandshari]

42. Hmmmmm...

Very good use of two real individuals - you and me - in a role-playing type of exercise to make your point. Very good. Exceptionally good, truth be told, darlin!

;)

I will be back with a more worthy response as soon as time permits later tonight!

[flvegan]

44. I look forward to it. Oh, and by the way

if this "friend" is you, and the interest is me, don't be coy, or shy. Anyone would be foolish to not be digging on you, whomever your interest.

See how I escalated that another notch.

I, ahem, did that PURELY for the reason of helping you and your friend. Not that I'm flirting or anything.

*whistling*

[southlandshari]

53. So............

I, er, um, uh...what's that tune you're whistling?

:loveya:

[Parrcrow]

28. Take him her or it to the Mod hot tub.

all the mod posts in here looks like the tub anyway.
:grouphug: <----"whisper whisper whisper"

[southlandshari]

31. But what if my friend is not a mod?

And therefore has no access to that secret world of debauchery tucked away out of sight of the huddled masses in the forums?

:P

[KitchenWitch]

32. Your friend should just "be herself/himself"

and not be afraid of the crush. Chances are the person your friend is crushing on may also be a little intimidated (even if they seem very comfortable.)

[southlandshari]

34. Kitchenwitch!!!!

How ya doin', sweets? I've missed you!!!

[KitchenWitch]

37. I have been around

Just not when you have been, unfortunately!

:pals:

Really great to see you!

How is that situation with your neighbor? Anything new?

[southlandshari]

40. YES - very good news on the (now ex)neigbhor

The judge threw the book at him - will send details via PM later tonight!!

[KitchenWitch]

41. I am so glad to hear about that!

:yourock: and so does your daughter!

[WCGreen]

43. I too find that news to be great......

Too often, these things end with an unsatisfactory conclusion...

[Redstone]

45. Your friend's got it bad.

When your self-assuredness gives way to a blathering "a-buh, a-buh" in the presence of a particular person, it's a sure sign that you're smitten, and therefore doomed.

Your friend should just plight his or her troth to the object of his or her affections, and live with the consequenses, come what may.

Sometimes you have to put it all on one roll of the dice.

Redstone

[WCGreen]

46. You are right, of course, but who has the courage to do that...

[Redstone]

47. I did. I told a woman to leave everything she owned in California,

and go to the American Airlines counter at the San Jose airport, where there would be a one-way ticket to Connecticut waiting for her. (I should mention that I spent the last (really) $600 I had to my name on this ticket, then drove nonstop from Philadelphia to Hartford to pick her up.)

Fifteen years later, here we still are, stronger together than ever.

Like I said, sometimes you have to bet it all on one roll of the dice.

Redstone

[WCGreen]

48. Yea, we all get to that point with "the one"...

Mrs. WCGreen told me she just wanted to be friends, and I showed her the door and told her I already had enough friends, thank you very much....

(Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I wish I would have kept my big mouth shut...)

[flvegan]

50. Awesome story.

One could make a movie out of that one byte...

[WCGreen]

51. Really

[southlandshari]

55. Wow!

Why am I not surprised that it is you on the teller's end of this fantastic story?

You have just proven once again to be a man of genuine heart and enviable courage!

:hug:

[wildhorses]

71. OMG that is AWESOME

what a good story... :cry:

[Dastard Stepchild]

49. oh dear....

That sounds like a deliciously exciting situation... those shake-inducing rumblings of a crush...traumatic and wonderful all at once. :)

Perhaps a PM along of the lines of, "Hey, when you said XYZ in yer post, I thought that was funny/sad/silly/etc. Made me think of the time when...."

That should get the chat rolling in a pleasant way. :)

[southlandshari]

56. More good advice

for a friend, should I ever actually have one in this situation, mind you!

Private messages....hmmm....

;)

[Dastard Stepchild]

62. Has the hypothetical friend had any thread banter....

with the hypothetical crush? Because my idea might be more of an icebreaker PM. But that would still work, because it would provide a nice transition from thread banter to PM banter. Unless said hypothetical friend and said hypothetical crush already had a touch of PM banter..... then hypothetical friend should turn it up a notch. Then maybe a compliment is in order. Something along the lines of "you're really funny/nice/charming/easy on the eyes/etc."

I like to solve hypothetical dilemmas. :D

[southlandshari]

64. That's a definite, albeit hypothetical, yes!

Both my imaginary friend and his/her imaginary DU crush could even be posting on this very thread! Wouldn't that be one to write home about?!

:o

[Dastard Stepchild]

68. I'm so hypothetically intrigued I could just plotz :)

actually.. I'm legitimately intrigued about the hypotheticals... I love a dash of mystery on a Friday night. Is it real? Is it all a joke? Are the two hypotheticals in the same thread at the same time? This is some good stuff.

:)

[southlandshari]

70. LOL!

Of course it is all hypothetical. Really it is!



But....even if it wasn't, I wouldn't tell. What - and ruin all this great speculation and suspense? No way. Not tonight!

[Dastard Stepchild]

73. Well.... of course you can't spill the beans so easily...

That would take all the fun outta a gal trying to channel her inner Nancy Drew.

[southlandshari]

77. ROFL!!

Nancy Drew!!!

:thumbsup:

Screw the hypotheticals and forget my friend - I'd rather talk about my feelings for you now!

;)

[Dastard Stepchild]

79. I am all ears...

errrr.. all eyes for that matter. Praise-lavishing may commence at any time.

;)

[WCGreen]

Inner Nancy Drew,,,,

Well I have an inner Hardy Boy...

Want to come over and see my magnifying glass and my fingerprint kit....

[Dastard Stepchild]

80. Only if you promise not to get fingerprinting shmutz...

on my little white gloves and my neatly coiffed hair. I hear that fingerprinting dust can be a mighty pesky substance.

[WCGreen]

81. My Dad, world Famous Detective, Fenton Hardy, who is

away on business more than a drunken sailer, it seems, has a new kind of fingerprint power that leave no trace....

[Dastard Stepchild]

88. It'll take more than a simple assurance from Fenton Hardy...

to have these sensible brown pumps and this tangerine chiffon skirt sashay on into your drawing room. This Nancy Drew is nothing short of a respectable lady.

[WCGreen]

93. But Golly gee Nancy......

Whenever a, gulp, girl sashay's into my drawing room, I act with the utmost respect....

Beside that, my Italian Friend Tony and our bestest pal Biff will be there....

[Dastard Stepchild]

126. I'll put in a brief moment of face time...

If Tony's chic self agrees to bop me around town on a little Italian scooter.

[WCGreen]

128. He is a little Italian Scooter....

[southlandshari]

84. ....

:applause:

Best quip of the night, darlin'!

[WCGreen]

87. Why thank you, thank you very much....

[southlandshari]

89. You know I'm not much for BS, darlin'...

And that was a great comeback line if ever I saw one!

[WCGreen]

91. I try I really do try to impress you!!!!!

img]

[southlandshari]

131. LOL!

Me and a whole lotta other DU women!

Is that the Energizer Bunny in your last post?

:P

[WCGreen]

132. No... It's me.....

Doing my fat bottom fluffy dance...

Hubba Hubba

[southlandshari]

141. Just between me and you....

Whenever you break out that dancing stuff, I've observed the following reaction among some of my favorite DU girlfriends:



You Casanova, you!

[WCGreen]

143. I can see one, pray for two....

But three...

Honey, My oxegyn dail doesn't got up that far....

[enigmatic]

52. Mrs E rolled the dice on me

I had no idea she was interested; it was a shock to find out. But she took a chance, and going on 5 years later we're soulmates.

Tell your friend to roll the dice!

[southlandshari]

58. Mrs E is an incredibly lucky woman!

Period. Fullstop. End of story!

[enigmatic]

78. Now I'm blushing

:blush:

[southlandshari]

90. Hmmmmm....

Nope. I'd better not say another word.

:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

54. Ooohhhh... interesting topic.

Who?

[southlandshari]

59. Who indeed?

This is all hypothetical, didn't you read all my protestations to that effect, darlin'?

;)

[Misunderestimator]

60. Oops... I missed that fundamental part of it.

:D

[southlandshari]

69. Hey - don't let that drive you away from this thread!

Something tells me you might be able to help advise my hypothetical friend in this completely fictitious scenario...

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

57. I say 'your friend should be herself' ...

go with the flow ...

flirting in private (by PM) also helps to answer quite a few questions ...

[southlandshari]

61. That's herself OR himself!

I'm just asking well in advance, in case I have a friend come to me for help in the situation I describe.

O8)

[In_The_Wind]

66. Right ~ and that behavior would work for a herself or a himself ...

let me share a true story with you as an example ...

I received a PM out of the blue one day - from a DUer who wanted to talk about books ...

very innocent - right ...

I don't remember exactly how I answered ...

but several PMs followed until we got to know each other - without all of DU being any wiser ...

my private life stays private ...

[southlandshari]

76. Definitely gender neutral advice.

And the advice of keeping private lives private and out of the forums is ALWAYS sound counsel. I know it would make mods' work light years easier, anyway, if everyone followed this simple rule!

:D

[evlbstrd]

63. I'm just now blundering into this thread.

Have these hypothetical persons theoretically met in alleged real life?

[southlandshari]

65. Well, you recover nicely!

Good question. The answer is no.

;)

[evlbstrd]

67. I found the thread title intriguing and read every post.

And it's, well, intriguing.
It feels like 20 Questions, too.

[southlandshari]

94. Heck!

Now I'm intrigued, too! How will it all turn out? Will there be a happy ending?

Is it just me, or does anyone else hear the theme music from "As the World Turns" right about now?

[WCGreen]

95. Yea, well, I'll wait for the sequell.....

It's way too late for me.... I needs my beauty sleep....

Or I will probably catch up with this tomorrow.... er today....

[evlbstrd]

97. Here's what kills me.

Even though this is all supposed to be hypothetical, it's attracting all of this speculation. With over 78,000 people on this site, this situation could easily be real.
There's the voyeuristic aspect, and the idea that some people here think it's about their own experience.
This is a cross between William Gibson and Dear Abby.

[southlandshari]

105. If you think this thread is attracting speculation right here...

You should see my PM inbox this morning!!!!

:wow:

[evlbstrd]

111. Now that would be an interesting thread in itself.

Am I mentioned in any of them? ;)

[southlandshari]

113. Now you know I can't answer that!

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

72. Tell her to send me a PM. I don't bite.

:P

[southlandshari]

74. YOU!

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

75. Oh, and we men are HORRIBLE with hints, too.

Just tell us. Please. :)

[southlandshari]

82. No shit.

When a woman tells you that she hears Olivia Newton John singing "I'm the one you want, it's aaaallllll I wanna be, so come on baby, make a move on me" and she thinks of you....

....and next thing she knows you're rolling around in the back of some cab in the nation's capitol with two smart women in real short skirts - and there is photographic evidence passed around in public to immortalize your adventures....

....she learns pretty fast that YOU wouldn't know a hint even if it looked something like this:






















:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

83. Write your hint on a piece of paper, wrap it around the brick, then toss

it at my head.

:rofl:

[southlandshari]

85. I don't think a concussion

will move you any closer to taking the hint, now will it?

:P

[GOPisEvil]

86. Perhaps you're right.

I'd hate to suffer memory loss - I'd forget the hint! :o

[southlandshari]

92. Of course I am, darlin'!

The hint doesn't matter anymore, anyway.

:cry:

I now understand and accept the painful truth that YOU are too much of a player for lil ol' me....

[GOPisEvil]

101. HAHAHAHAHAHA...player? Me?

:rofl: I am the anti-player! :rofl:

At least in real life...

[southlandshari]

103. ROFL!

Well, let's say my hypothetical friend PREFERS anti-players. What then?

;)

[GOPisEvil]

106. Refer to post above, re: brick and note.

Anti-players never assume it's them, so we need to be told.

Hypothetically.

:)

[southlandshari]

109. Refer to past hints posted right here for all to see!

For YOU!

;)

[GOPisEvil]

110. Yeah...but, but...you posted that for everyone...

I just responded to it. How was I to know for whom it was meant specifically?

:7

[southlandshari]

114. Not this time, darlin'...

:7

[GOPisEvil]

115. Oh, this is true.

*scootches over*

:7

[southlandshari]

118. Scootch on over, darlin'!

I've got a song I want to sing to you!

I must really love YOU, because I knew that bringing up that song would get it stuck in my head for the day! Aiiiiiiieeeeee! Earworm!

:loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

119. Turn on progmom stat!!!

This smokin' jazz will drown out that nasty ol' earworm.

:D

[southlandshari]

122. ROTFLMAO!!!

I swear I thought you were going to say she was PLAYING that song when I saw your last subject line!

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

123. Now THAT would be news!

And quite scary.

:rofl:

[southlandshari]

135. Hey now....

What are you saying? That my song dedication is scary? Fess up, YOU!

:cry:

[GOPisEvil]

136. No...hers is a jazz show...

...and ONJ is not jazz. So if she played that song, it would mean her little choo-choo had gone chugging 'round the bend.

[southlandshari]

140. Whew!

That's what I hoped you meant!

(drying tears and smiling again)

:D

[SarahB]

98. I used to be an excellent flirtmaster.

My tips:

1. Don't flirt with everyone. Flirt with a few select people you really like (or just perhaps the object of your affections directly).

2. DOn't be afraid to be silly. A sense of humor goes a long way.

Other than that, just relax and realize that generally, human beings want to connect with other people. Life is too short not to go after what you want. You don't always get it, but I've never regretted trying. :)

[southlandshari]

112. Thank you!

Any hypothetical friend I might have would definitely embrace his or her silliness, so I shall tell him or her - if ever asked for the kind of advice I am seeking in this thread to embrace that silliness, but to be selective in the targets of their flirting.

I think you are STILL an excellent flirtmaster, Sarahbelle!

:hi:

[yvr girl]

100. As long as your friend's fingers still work

she should be OK. This is a message board after all.

[southlandshari]

102. As all of my friends have working fingers

or access to voice activated software for computer typing, that's a safe assumption.

So what should he/she type? In the forums or via PM?

I heard you were the one to ask, so it's great finding you here on this thread!

104. pm...trust me...

[yvr girl]

168. Does your friend and his/her interest play in the Lounge at all?

I would suggest bantering a bit in the lounge first. See if there is a connection, and then take it to a PM.

:hi:

[southlandshari]

169. Yes, they both do, as a matter of fact...

Or, er, they WOULD, if they existed outside this whole hypothetical scenario, that is!

;)

117. ........

:popcorn:

[southlandshari]

120. ......

:spank:

[Wapsie B]

124. .........

:rofl:

Hey, if what is happening that I think is happening I'm elated for the both of you.

:)


:bounce:

[southlandshari]

127. .....

What do you think is happening?

And who do you think it is happening with?

Now you've got ME intrigued!

:hi:

[flvegan]

144. Can we get an update?

Did your, er, "friend" make any moves? Do we get to find out who the parties in question are? Is he/she still tongue tied?

[southlandshari]

145. Of course not!

This is all make-believe, silly!



Oops. I did it again.

[flvegan]

146. Uh huh. Riiiiiiight.

[southlandshari]

151. What?

O8)

[flvegan]

154. 9 times out of 10, any post that suggest something is "hypothetical"

It ain't.

Your "friend" should take off the kid gloves and go out there and wrangle her the fella she's interested in.

Uh, I mean, wrangle him/her the fella/lady he/she is interested in.

[southlandshari]

157. Oh yeah?

Well that leaves one out of 10 times for things to remain in the realm of, of, er....hypothesy?

:P

[flvegan]

158. Yes. So...that's a pretty small percentile.

Possible, though.

[southlandshari]

159. Anything is possible.

Wouldn't you agree, flvegan?

[flvegan]

165. In spades. In spades.

[jonnyblitz]

147. delete...posted to wrong thread

don't ask how i managed that..

[southlandshari]

149. Hey! Come back!

I want to hear your opinion on this important and valuable question of the day!

:P

If not, you could at least post something snarky and end with :eyes: . It's been a while since I had reason to send you an e-quualude, you know?

;)

[jonnyblitz]

150. i would settle for an e-joint..

:P

[southlandshari]

156. I'll see what I can do!

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

148. I'm still waiting on my PM.

Where's your "friend"? :grr:















:rofl:

[southlandshari]

152. Are you saying you haven't been getting those PMs?

Gasp!

Then there is some foul play about, darlin', because from what I hear, you've been replying to every PM that has been sent your way!

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

160. Hehehehe!!

:evilgrin:

This is so much fun.

[southlandshari]

161. I'll see your hehehehe...

and raise you a hahahaha!

:P

Calling this fun would be a serious understatement, darlin'!

:rofl:

[Cult]

155. Ecstacy.

Just kidding! Kinda. Well, I've got quite the reputation as a flirt....I say do a little research on the object of affection. What do they like? Music, hobbies, etc. Learn a little bit about what they like, then start a conversation on said subject. Tell them you don't know that much about the subject, but would like to know more! The person should spout off about subjects they like and are familiar with.
The catch is, you should be somewhat interested in the subject, or at least be interested in just how much it means to the person.


-E!

162. So who truly is the Flirtmaster playin the part.......

163. You give me far too much credit in the flirting department

And you associate me with intentions far more shallow than are my own, methinks.

:hide:

[WCGreen]

164. With this post I just kid.....

If I said something wrong, I wish it undid...
I just thought I could make you laugh...
I did not wish to incur your wraith...

[southlandshari]

You made me laugh. Like you always do, darlin'!

167. Well then my work here is complete....

Who have the audacity to call themselves lions...
