vix, honey, I will never stop flirting with you. But of course, you’ll have to grab my ass without Sua’s assistance next time. But I think you can manage it. Hey, wait a second, you’re flirting! Good news, you’re back to normal! happy dance
Geo, time prohibits me from posting a lengthy and soul-searching response.
I mean it when I say- and I know I’m not the only one who thinks this- that those times when you flirt on the boards are in no way a detraction from the wonderful and complex woman that you are.
In short, I adore you, and it’s all about the happy balance.
Just wanted to add my words to the others. I never thought of you as flirty, I just think of you as cool.
Heh. I check back in here out of idle curiosity a day later, and discover that in response to my flirt I get a pat on the head. If that’s not a killingly accurate metaphor for a larger situation, I dunno what is. Double heh.
All silliness aside, allow me to pile onto the growing list of posters here to inform you that you should, indeed, never ever change. And don’t second-guess yourself either - take it from the resident expert on that. There is absolutely nothing about your image that requires rethinking.

andygirl, I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Even though we don’t talk nearly often enough, you have been and always will be a very special person to me. You are wise beyond your years, and that’s not just because you say nice things about me.
Sweetie, I was not about to turn this into a flirt thread. That would kind of defeat the purpose, n’est-ce pas? Flirt with me in a more appropriate place, and be sure you will get a more enthusiastic response.
My first attempt at a flirt and she takes me seriously.
::back to the rock pile with me::
Well, ya goof, if you’re gonna flirt, you need to do it properly, because that attempt was not the slightest bit obvious. Next time another flirt thread rolls around, give me a holler. I’ll school ya.
Oui, mademoiselle, vraiment. But the fact that I can’t even figure out where or when to flirt only makes the metaphor all the more killingly accurate. 
I think anyone who is single and their gender is obvious from their handle has a higher flirt potential, regardless of how much or how little they invite it. That’s been my impression, anyway. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they aren’t taken as seriously, though.
What elelle said.
Having spent a fair amount of time with you IRL, Geobabe, I can honestly say that the flirting is only a small part of what makes you so much fun to hang out with.
Just be who you are, and don’t worry about your ‘image’. You’re doin’ fine. 
RT, coming from someone who witnessed–and participated in–my antics at the party Saturday night, that’s very reassuring.
Out of the fog, and into the smog…

Geobabe, after following your posts for awhile and finally meeting you at JC’s this weekend I think I can weigh in on this one. . .
You’re a funny and intelligent person who’s fun to talk to and a blast to hang with. The fact that you’re drop-dead gorgeous just proves that brains and beauty aren’t mutually exclusive.
Zap!
…toward his weekly meeting with…the unknown!
Zappo, drop-dead gorgeous? I do believe you’re my new best friend.
Yes, drop-dead gorgeous. And when I dropped dead it’d take three undertakers, a big tank of compressed air and a tow truck to get the smile off my face.
But actually, I don’t have weekly meetings with the unknown. We just get together for coffee once in awhile.
Zap!
At fourth and Drucker he turns left.
At Drucker and fourth he turns right.
He crosses MacArthur Park…
