Leave to one of my favorite girls to start an awesome thread and get everyone all stirred up! Woo hoo!

I'm a much better flirt "in the moment" than any other time, but text flirts are fun! I'm not sure if I have a favorite to share. Although I will say that comedy and flirting go really well together. :) You could send a text that says "Wow! You look really hot today!" which I think is really funny. But then they might think you're a stalker. Ummmm use your own humor, not mine. Please!

texting can now be considered stalking? geez:phonegab:

Jake, I'm a professional writer, too. I never really learned to flirt well, but I have done a bit of written flirting. And it can be a very clever game of words. It shows the intelligence of the two flirting and can become a beautiful collection of sentiments. So I'm not surprised you saved those text messages......But there is a caveat. Sometimes you can get caught up in the word oneupmanship that you lose sight of the friendship or relationship that could be built.

Rockinonahigh, just relax and be yourself, hun.

It was never really a game of one upping. It was more like a script for an Irene Dunne-Cary Grant or Hepburn-Tracy film. Frankly, I am tempted to turn the whole premise into a screenplay, but I don't think it would translate well.

Is that ur text or mine?
 

O my gosh I know what u mean! I'm soo corny and nerdy I always get a huh? Or one these 0_o faces! So I always go with the worst lines ever and that way they know I'm at least showing interest and hey if they keep textin back they must enjoy whatever it is ur doing or saying!!

If that doesn't work text from Bennett always makes
Me laugh! Good luck!!

Fav line ever: okay first text and be like omg! Are u okay and then she say yeah y? Then BAM "“You must be tired because you’ve been running through my head all night."

Pretty bad right! There are hundreds of bad lines and some good ones!

LOL, I never knew there were rules to flirting. Something thought out ahead of time that then ends up in a text could be quite nice indeed, as well as spontaneity. It's all in the delivery and the dance for me.

FRESH! *slap*

... oh... I'm sorry buddy I thought you were flirting with me. I'll get some ice for that...


;)

Will flirt for cupcakes. ;)

This is sooooooo me! A friend once referenced my flirting and I looked at him in absolute confusion because to me, I was just being me. So he asked, "Laney is there anytime that you do not flirt?" And I replied, "Yes, there is; I have to sleep don't I?"

:sparklyheart:

I am severely flirting impaired....can't do it, rarely "get it" when it happens to me.

I can joke, be witty, be serious....but flirt? :blink:

Think I need to take a workshop or something.

Thinking of starting a flirting course just for Jo ;) I have been known on occasion to flirt. I have been told I am charming and I love women. So flirting comes natural for me.

Not sure if that is a good thing or bad.

HAHAHA...

Well apretty, it sure wasn't conscious flirting, however, subconscious is a whole nother matter, something we have no control over and are not even aware of. Obviously I got some reaction because "U" is posting sweet notes on my profile. LOL

*hands on hips* Well! If this is your idea of flirting, then I would rather flirt with PrincessBelle. (sorry PrincessBelle, didn't mean to bring you into this, I just think you are too cute for words)

My UFOMAN joke was not meant to be dismissive, I am truly sorry you took it that way. I learned long ago that people love to hear the sound of their name, so I make it a point of using people's names when I interact with them (even if it is only a screen name). It's just that it was stuck in my mind, because I read it that way. I will work very hard to fix the mental thingy so that if we ever interact again together, you will not feel "dismissed."

I will respect your opinion as long as you state it as your opinion. But when you use the word "should" it raises my hackles. You are not the "keeper of the shoulds" and neither am I.

I would still love to match your flirting trophies against mine. :cheesy:

I always plan my flirts, or not-flirts. By 'plan' I don't mean I write them down for days and analyse them, but I put some thought into what I say (by not-flirts I mean the flirts you're not doing because someone inappropriate is trying to flirt with you). I've flirted with everything from boys to girls and I don't feel the need to change my flirting style for identity, rather for the person.

I almost understand significant others who get jealous about their person/partner flirting with others? But then, I only almost understand monogamy, so I know I'm out of the loop on that one. Jealousy just doesn't run deep in my bones.

But I definitely don't understand people/persons who get offended when an acquaintance or even a stranger flirts with them.

I've always thought of flirting as a fun past-time that mutually bolsters egos. Being flirted with means someone found you cute, or smart, or funny... it's like a verbal exchange offered in reward for your ability to interest another person or engage with them on whatever level.

It's the oldest game in the world. It's generally harmless. It's a compliment. Smile and fire back what you've got. If you're not interested, smile and say so and you or I will shrug and move on. Nothing lost. And at least two people shared a smile. :)

For my sake, by all means, should you ever meet a 5-foot something gal w/green cat eyes and freckles and think she is cute/smart/funny, say so -- it might be me and I might need cheering up that day! ;)

I am not sure where you get the idea that you can do this.

I am going to kindly ask you to please stop.

Yeah for SEXTING...Waay cheaper than the 1 900 number!!!

Perhaps I should continue reading before I respond...
But that was a tad... a wee bit snarky -- aye?

I have to agree with UofManyFlirtations...

If one is to rehearse what one is to say, prior to the act of flirting? Where is the spontaneity? I wonder if certain people might rehearse how they will fuck when it comes time... Or perhaps if they might rehearse their screams or gasps or pants or hisses of ecstasy.

And google your flirt lines? Seriously? Is that a bit obvious? What if you and three others are googling the same bullshit?

I will never forget the time a butch used an obvious flirt line with me. NEXT!

... I texted my sweetie something like that once. A few minutes later I got a return text, similar sentiments, photo included. OMG, the dangers of smartphones. *laughs!* ;)

Look, let's just say whatever works for you use that..if you get more gas using google as your "go to" for clever wit..that's amazing for you and no doubt you will attract people who enjoy your kind of flirting..on the other hand...

if you like to go with the flow and femmes/butches enjoy your spontaneous wittiness no doubt you willl have your share of admirers..

There is room in this world for both. So you are BOTH right so to speak.

Now let's get back to flirting! :hk18:

It seems as though you're new to the site and possibly to the internet. I am going to give you some unsolicited advice--Most of us interact with each other as if we really do know one another because we really do, or as if we will meet or at least like we're a friend-of-a-friend because we really are: The degrees of separation are few.

So, I beg you consider the reader/s of your posts because there are many, even if no one responds--You're being read and it's a really good idea to not be mistaken for a lunatic (if humor is your aim and you find your attempts falling flat), if community is what you're after--And there's a really amazing community to be had here.

Luck to you.

Crossin line
 

Okay i lOve banter and flirty text, but is it crossing line when person sends u nude pics? I mean I was being flirty but was hoping for wanting to work for it! Maybe I shouldn't complain and enjoy

this is not flirting, but texting gone awry. i have a good friend, a femme actually, whom i occasionally address in a friendly way as "slut" or "whore." Anyway, i once thought i had texted this friend, but instead sent "SLUT!" to my Ma'am. i got this as a reply "??"

i sent an immediate apology and oops text to Her. She has class. She didn't even mention it. But i have definitely had texting mishaps.

Dear Apretty:

It's not my fault that "U"'s message landed in my box and not the intended box, but it did. I was surprised and I had no idea what it meant. However, what I learned from this is that people here cannot handle confrontation in a healthy way. It is back room gossip and crapola at it's finest. I had an "issue" with "U"s post and here I am discussing it with you and I don't even know who you are.

For you to imply that I am a "lunatic" is just unconsionable to me. This is not a community to which I want to belong...

So yes, here is my "golden flounce." I won't be back.

Maybe you're being a little bit hasty?!? A difference of opinion is ok here, but U does not know you and so it may have come off as a little bit over the top..think about it, if someone came at you that you didnt know in the real world and said something you thought was kinda rude, you'd be a little shocked (since you don't know this person) and have to at least consider maybe you might want to clear any misunderstanding..and i rilly think that is all this is..no need to leave. Nobody is suggesting you do. :hk25:

A thought - one of the ways we can help keep people in the community and clarify any misunderstandings and assuage hurt feelings is to let people work out disagreements between themselves.

Errr ummmm, I'm a text whore (so my close friends say). They all know when I am busy flirting in text... can't help but grin and blush...hehehe. I'm a flirt by nature and a very wordy kinda gy... I express myself well and I can be rather smooth to an eventual all out banter of playfulness. I can't help it... I won't help it. To me flirting is natural and healthy. It's fun!! However, it is still flirting. When I get more serious with someone, that person will truly know it... and know it for sure and certain. I guess we could say, I have levels of flirting? Yeh, we could definitely say that...
Worst flirt text moment, or rather funniest I guess... Sent a very VERY graphic flirt to my ex who was in the list of contacts right next to the person I was actually flirt texting. The response back, "OMG you're at it AGAIN!" Keeping those fingers limber are we?" LMAO :rofl: oops!! :cheesy:
