Then that's where it belongs. Leave it there, sweetie. Flirting doesn't require a history lesson. Plenty of time for that if it turns out to be some kind of relationship.theCryptofishist wrote:...but goods that have a lot of explination behind them...
Myself, I flirt outrageously, but not with everyone. First, no pinups ("hotties" in the modern parlance). There's no point in it. Flirting is all about witty repartee, and generally they've never learned any. Second, there's got to be some activity in the face. A slack face generally has a slack mind behind it. When I can see several expressions cross the face in a few moments, then I know that person is engaged in their world and might have something interesting to say.
Last, I must get the impression that she'd enjoy a little flirting. It would be rude to try to flirt with someone who'd rather I didn't.
Oh, and must be female. If all these check out, then en garde!

You know, it's funny. When I meet people while flirting, I usually wind up completely blowing them away when things are more... sober and they realize who/what I am. Although usually, the good feelings are enough to carry them through the surprise. Sometimes it even makes things better.Silverwheel wrote:Then that's where it belongs. Leave it there, sweetie.

Unless you're a really simple person, people aren't going to know all about you from flirting. Sure, Crypto, there are some obvious things about you, but if you don't allow it to even enter the discussion, it says you've got more fun and important things to talk about.
It's hard to have a normal conversation with someone with 6' acrylic rods strapped to your back.

for Bambino flirting is at once a professional skill and also a job hazard. amateur flirting leaves out the heart, expects results. a professional gives everything and wants nothing in return. a transitory moment of human intersection, can anything else be more perfect? true love as expressed through the eyes, the voice, the gaze of the beloved. to exchange a whole lifetime in a moment, and then walk away freely. this is what Bambino knows, this is how a life is lived to the most full
hellishly hotter than you, greased up and wearing next to nothing!

in that case perhaps you would like to accompany me to the Bar where we might discuss what form this ownership will take. I am a very busy man, as you can I'm sure imagine, but I will attempt in all ways to be the perfect owner, exactly what you want and none of what you do not prefer

Lead on fair Bambino, but I must warn u, in order to enter my world you must first dazzle me with your brilliant mind. For a man without a mind will in no way own one such as myself.Bambino the Bartender wrote:in that case perhaps you would like to accompany me to the Bar where we might discuss what form this ownership will take.
