Flirting

I bring this up because flirting is something that's basically required in order to get a lady (or man, depending on your orientation...and if you're into animals or humans), but some people are better at it than others.

I'd like to think I'm "Barry White Smooth" , but fear I'm more "Corey Haim Bad" when I try too hard. I do better when I'm not even aware that I'm "making my moves", I guess. It's really fun to flirt with someone who flirts back, I've noticed.

Anyway, what's your personal rating? Any advice for those who might not be so successful? Got any free food? I'm hungry...:p:

Is Barry White smooth better than Very good, or slightly not as smooth as very good?

I think it should be up top, but I'm too lazy to edit the poll.

So what does Corey Haim do when he flirts (I can imagine Barry White starting out with a deep "Baby,...")?

Have some espresso and start editing.

By morning, you will be ready to begin your next work shift with a post count double what it is now.

That, or one V-E-R-Y long post.

I know I'm going to sound like a socially-incompetent moron, but what is flirting? I've never understood what it is. I've asked friends about what it is and they just say it's talking to the opposite sex, but why isn't it just called "talking"?

Why, man, you're advocating...drug use!!!!

And my idol Mr. T says "I pity the fool that needs drugs to post on message boards all night!"

So no, I won't be taking your suggestion, mister. Don't buy drugs, kids...become famous, and they give them to you for free!

Well, Blue Eyed Boy raises an interesting question...

Is there one below Corey Haim?

I think "flirting" is technically "talking with the express purpose of getting the other person naked and in your bed as soon as possible"....

Or it could just be "trying to show interest by conversation". I get confused

Talking is: You're in the market at the deli counter and you ask the attractive stranger next to you if they're waiting in line. Then you step up to the counter, pay for your purchase, and leave.

Flirting is: You're in the market at the deli counter and you ask the attractive stranger next to you if they know what wine would go with the cheese you're thinking about buying. And smiling. And eye contact. And looking away. And paying a compliment in a clever, not too obvious way.

Barry White: You're in the market at the deli counter and you say to the attractive stranger next to you "I've heard people say too much of anything's not good for you, baby." Then you ask if you've gotten too much ham (you ordered a full pig), and indicate that if she is willing, the stranger can come back to your apartment and help you finish it before it spoils. Then you undo the silk robe you were wearing all this time and tell her that she's "the first, the last, my everything". That pretty much seals the deal

That should explain it.

And don't forget:

'Flirting for fun' At one level, you can flirt with more or less anyone. An exchange of admiring glances or a bit of light-hearted flirtatious banter can brighten the day, raise self-esteem and strengthen social bonds. Flirtation at this level is harmless fun, and only the stuffiest killjoys could possibly have any objections... 'Flirting with intent' But flirting is also an essential element of the mate-selection process, and when you are 'flirting with intent', rather than just 'flirting for fun', you need to be a bit more selective about your choice of target.

no thats sexual harrassment. actually im very good at flirting like on the phone or online and stuff, ive been known to get girls pretty hot b4, but in the real world well thats a different story, i can flirt good, im just too cowardly to go talk to a pretty girl. im such a wuss

Once in the EIGHTIES, I was at a club with some friends, wearing my EIGHTIES leopard print tie, when a HOT black chick approached me and said "That's a nice tie. Maybe you could tie me up sometime."

THAT'S flirting.

I turned into Corey Haim.

It's too complicated. I give up.

That's not the spirit.

I wouldn't know how to flirt, or would I?

the same old problem all my life... everytime i try to 'flirt' i get the same thing. i'm always referred to as a 'big brother'! 'hurt and more hurt! may i have another!' never fails!

You must be joking to say you're unsure of what flirting is. This forum's riddled with bush league examples! Just follow NOBabe or AW around the threads for a few hours.

She got you.

It's the difference between being relaxed and having fun with it, and being wound up because you're nervous about failure/success.

I'm not allowed to flirt anymore, am I?

Anyway. I was really good at flirting when I was younger. Or I might got all the girls thanks to my look, I don't know.

I like to flirt a bit. It's nice to see if girls are still intrested in you, even when you are 38.

I would never cheat on my wife, but I love the feeling of knowing, that a girl/female so much wants me to follow her home.

Does this mean I'm bad?
