For me itā€™s humor that works. Example: I gave a girl im interested in a ride to campus(Uni) one day. Later she txtā€™s: Her: Thank you! Me: no problemo bonita H: your so nice! M: Ya. underneath it all H: It caught my attention! M: I must be doing somethin right H: YEAH! M: and here I thought it was my PANTS! H: LOL YOURE FUNNY! M: If I make you smile then I must b doin OK H: YEAH, MORE THAN OK! My point: _My_ flirting doesnā€™t always consist of flowery ā€œyour the mostest prettyest special girl that ever existedā€ type of thing. ---

_looks through phone to find the text messages that made me smile_ _realises that none are entirely appropriate for a message board_ Seriously - kisses. Just kisses. Those are the ones that really make me happy. ---

I knowā€¦ itā€™s not like I wanted this to happenā€¦ been pretty lonely for a while, and now two women I really like are interestedā€¦ so I just want to keep all options open. I have a date with both of them, and itā€™s not like we are already involved in an exclusive relationship yet. but I know Iā€™ll have to choose soon. and I donā€™t want to do that, because I like them both ā˜¹ oh well. worse things could happen I guess. ---

[QUOTE] > [@asterion](#): > > I donā€™t remember exactly what it stands for, but itā€™s a wireless (read: cell phone) text messaging standard/protocol. Massively over-priced in my opinion. > [@nakarama](#): > > Short Message System IIRC. Actually, Short Message Service. Not that it matters or anythingā€¦ And hardly massively over-priced either. Unless you engage in conversations by text, in which case it would be much cheaper to call. On a side note, I hate it when people text me using a rather strange texting language where every word must be deciphered. All mobile phones today have T9 functionsā€¦use it. As for flirting by text, Iā€™m terrible at it. I write way too much and then have to try to cut it downā€¦then I just decide that its easier to not send it (much like my posting hereā€¦). This two girlfriend thing is sounding pretty commonā€¦ Iā€™m in a similar situation now. Been lonely for ages, now all of a sudden there are 2 girls interested. Iā€™ve just decided to ignore it though what with exams then the end of school. Donā€™t really want to even bother trying to start anythingā€¦ good luck with your situation though **nakarama**. ---
