Blush OK now what do I have to do to get to know you? 
I thank you for the compliment, Scottie, that was very kind of you. Now I feel honored that I am on somebodies crush list. You are my first. 
Now I need to see a picture of you, the same way as mine.

I am SO pleased to be your first!
But-
Sorry, sweetie, I have to admit that I am photogenically impaired. You know how they always talk about how "the camera LOVES him/her when they talk about models? Well, the camera hates me. I’m too old to be “cute,” but that is what I am. I have been told I am pretty, and that I have beautiful eyes and smile, (I decline to voice an opinion) but when my picture is taken, the result usually looks only minimally like me. Enough for ID, but if I really look like that someone should shoot me and put the rest of the world out of their misery so they shouldn’t have to look at me. I haven’t actually broken any cameras yet, but I expect as I get older it will come.
Plus, sometimes I am reticent. I know, you think that is funny. However, it is true, depending on the IRL situation and the people involved. So, darlin’, don’t expect to see a pic of me anytime soon. I am actually working on it, but not very hard. (Past experience has taught me that it is futile.) I admit to being a fairly private person, except with people I trust. On this board, I have grown to trust DRY. He is a good and trustworthy friend, and an intelligent and erudite poster. I feel honored that he calls me friend.
If you want to get to know me, do a search and access my posts. You will get to know me quite well, since I am pretty much totally honest about what I think and how I feel. I did a search on myself the other day, and I realized that I am a somewhat complicated bundle of joy. I am old enough to have gone through situations and learned things, came to conclusions and changed the way I wanted to live my life. You may not feel like using that “bundle of joy” description," and if so I absolve you. I’m not so sure of it myself anymore.
Anyway, if you wanna flirt, DO IT! What better way to get to know a person? Both with little ol’ me, and other people. This is the forum for all of us to be our secret selves-the real ones that we don’t feel capable of projecting IRL. Tongue tied? no problem! Type it out, edit or change your text so it says what you really want to say.
IMHO, this board allows people to be WHO THEY REALLY ARE without all the junk that you have to go through to get intimate with people IRL when you want to honestly know their true self. I agree with the researchers who believe that the brain is the most important sexual organ.
Remove the physical junk, and you can delve into the fascinating world of true “who are you, and what do we have in common?” without your hormones kicking in. This can only be a good thing.
So, maybe I did a hijack here, but I truly did not mean to. Pipe honey, you are a dish. Next time you are in a social situation where you feel “icky,” or awkard, you are instructed to remember that I said so. Scotti has spoken- You are a “hottie” let no one “Say me Nay!”
My cat, Kobii has taken over my computer board. And, as I said in my profile, the balance of power in this household is most decidely in my babycat’s favor.
So, goodnight sweet prince.
