Nope, I’ll flirt in here or out “here” in the world, though moreso on the boards. For me, flirting IRL is tougher because I have to speak faster than I have to type in here.
I can’t flirt IRL - I get flustered and silly too quickly. I can be cool and composed on line or in e-mail since I’ve got time to think and plan and backspace as necessary. In the real world, I just kinda stand in a corner and drool. That could explain why I’m not invited out too often.
That, and my husband gets his panties in a wad if I flirt - he’s so narrow-minded…
You know, I was going to respond to this thread, but FairyChatMom just said everything I was going to say (well, with the word “wife” substituted for “husband”).
I flirt worse IRL, I think. And as for my husband’s take on it:
We were in a bar the other night with some friends, and one of the male friends and I were verbally going at it back and forth. He looked at my husband and said, “You better watch it, I’m going to take her home with me.”
My husband reached into his pocket and tossed the guy our car keys, with a big smile.
One of the reasons we get along as well as we do is that we are both flirts for fun only, and neither minds it in the other.
But I am definitely not a closet flirter - I’m out there, baby.
(muffled voice from behind the closet door) Nope! No flirting here! Huh-uh! Wouldn’t think of it! Besides, nobody really flirts on the SDMB, anyway, right?
Someday I want to learn to flirt. I think I’m probably eligible for some sort of flirting disability. Every time I try to flirt, it seems (to me at least) to come off as vaguely creepy.
I flirt, IRL, however much less now than a few years ago.
I was bantering with a gal at a social event, have no idea who she was, but she brought me to a screeching halt when she slipped her hand in my back pocket and gave my bum a squeeze. :eek:
I’ve been married for twelve years and realized that I’d reeled out WAAAY too much line when that happened!
Yep, that told me to back off!
If I said you had a nice rack, would you hold it against me?
Oh.
Not THAT kind of closet flirter…
[sub] never mind [/sub]
Seriously, I am a better flirt (I think) online [tho I had lotsa fun on a dance floor IRL!] Haven’t done much of either type in a LOOOOONG time.
I flirt BIG in real life, but haven’t really flirted here…I guess I have to kinda know somebody before I flirt but here I mostly just know usernames and (sometimes) opinions…
I am neither a closet flirter, nor an open flirter. I’m a non-flirter. I consider the whole business a waste of time, and would rather pay someone an honest compliment than an empty one with sexual undertones.
That, and I am far from being handsome, so I know that no female would appreciate any sort of advance from me, whether real or “flirting”.
