Well, VB, my dear. Since Falcon and Irishman seem to have disappeared, I’ll be happy to have a what did you call it? slippery nipple? What an odd name for a drink! Could I interest you in a dance, perhaps? ---

Well Ultress, at least I’m not the only one that gets up early to go to work. Would you care for a drink, or maybe even a dance or two (hopefully they will be all slow dances). 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > Why, Purplebear, I’d be honored! Which dance would you like? > \*\* Why VB, any slow one you like! You didn’t step on my toes the last time we danced, so I trust you to not do it again. Do you remember how to 2 step? We could also do that, or a waltz, or… whatever you like. I’m easy to please. No, wait, that didn’t come out right…I meant to say… oh, never mind, I’ll only put my foot in it again deeper… :o Sorry, Falcon, you can have the next dance, ok? 😉 ---

Why thank you Purplebear, that is so kind of you. And how about that, a nice slow one too. 🙂 Lovely perfume you’re wearing, what is it? Seems to me, you are about the only lady left in here. Wish there were more to dance with, though I don’t mind dancing with you, but there seems to be a line-up, and your dance card is pretty well full. ---

You’re quite welcome, my dear. Anytime… 😉 And I’m wearing Bijan, as usual. Oh, I don’t know about a lineup! I wouldn’t call 2 people a lineup. So, how are you doing now that you’re back home and \<_ **OUCH** _, that’s ok, dear, it didn’t really hurt. No, honest, it didn’t hurt a bit.\> 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/flirting-part-2/16307.md?page=2)
