_sigh_ I’m in the mood to flirt. A lot. Really.

But, you see, there’s one little problem. I’m too shy to start flirting with anyone. (STOP laughing, **Scralden** , **lurker**. I’m being serious here!)

As I was saying… I can flirt well if flirted with, or if I know the person well enough, but to start flirting, I freeze up. Feel stupid. Blush even though no one can see me.

So, anyone want to flirt with a lonely girl on a Monday night? 😃

[sub]Ok, now I **REALLY** feel like a fool… but like I said, I’m desperate.[/sub]

Hello **Pisces**. How _you_ doin. I was just about to email you a few minutes ago, but couldn’t think of what to say.

Anyway, nothing brings me to a party like a woman speaking the words: “I’m desperate.”

I’m all yours, **TruePisces** so with me what you will.

Hello there 🙂  
Is this a “males only encouraged” thing or can I play too?? \<wink\> You say you sometimes feel stupid… Well slap my ass with pancake and call me stupid! \<hopping in your lap\>

_sigh_ If only it were my sparkling personality… but I guess “I’m desperate” will do in a pinch! 😉

Hmm… where to start, where to start… Maybe it’s time to start working on fantasy number 4? Late night, long drive home, talk turns into something more, the need to pull off to the side of the road, into a thick clump of trees…

How’s that for a start? 😃

Honey, if we can be paired up by **Una** in the Lesbian Orgy thread, do you REALLY think I’d have a problem flirting with you here???

So where would you **like** me to feel you, **Tequila** , darling? 😉

So from flirting straight to fantasy role-playing huh? That’s ok, I like fantasy role-playing. I like to pretend I’m not paying for it. 😃

So um, you and **Tequila** there, what say the three of us go somewhere a little more private and carry on this discussion? (insert wiggling eyebrow smiley here)

So, TruePisces, what’s your sign?

_you idiot! It’s right there in her screen name. Stupid! Stupid! Think of something else_

um…so, cold enough for you?

_The weather? Why don’t you just don a sweater and sing the Mr. Rogers song, you nerd._

So you like fish huh? I like fish too.

\*Oh yeah. That’s muuuuuuch better. hey wait, that could be sexual. Look up and see if she notices. Damn, she’s staring at you funny. Tell a joke. \*

So these three lesbians walk into a bar. No! Ma’am. Not you. I’m sorry, I was talking to this lovely lady over here. No, I don’t have anything against lesbians. I…oh, crap. If you need me, I’ll be over by the dart boards hoping for poor throwers.

**Pisces** you need not a man whose relatives are come in six-packs. All you need is a dose of Froggy to get feeling right again. Come with me, we’ll go somewhere alone. Maybe I could give you a back rub to relax you some. What do you say, **Pisces**? Leave these others and come away with me…

Except **Tequila**. Bring her if you want. 😉

Hey, just going with the flow a little here… Besides, didn’t some of this start in the fantasy thread, then on to the Phone Sex thread? I figured it would be best to go with one of those two, and my phone is in the other room…

Wait a minute? So wearing disco jumpers is ok, as long as you have a big truck?

DAMMIT! I knew I should have got a truck instead of that Focus! I knew it I knew it I knew it!

Mmmmm… back rub. Relaxation. That sounds like the best offer I’ve had all night… Are you as good at rubbing other parts of the body as you are backs? You see, I have a really sore [sub]whisper whisper whisper[/sub] Do you think you can take care of that? 😃

Ok, **TP** and **Tequila** , I’m left no choice but to get dapper on your asses and put on my [tuxedo](http://home.att.net/~jskellogg/lynda/linda28.htm) just to show you ladies I’m being serious here.
