The Flirt Academy: Summer Session

Let it be known that I don’t make a habit of sitting on folks’ laps. Just ask True Pisces. There was not a single lap-sitting incident during our meeting. Unless I sat in her lap. Or she sat in mine. I can’t quite recall. But either way, I didn’t see poor Stephen until it was too late. Now, even though I don’t make it a habit, I’m willing to make an exception for the benefit of my dear student Tyger. May I?

It’s handy that I spent most of my college career perfecting just this very thing. Now make a joke, and I’ll wink atcha.

Tygr,

That’s why I’m a professor here.
And I’m very good at the extroverted stuff too, I’m just trying to behave for once.

behaving is entirely overrated.

Not when I’ve had complaints of cybersex in the Academy… In the Dean’s opinion, hardygrrl is doing a wonderful job (plus, she’s doing it with my boyfriend… makes me very happy to see that it’s restrained!!! :smiley: )

someone complained about cybersex in the Academy??

what the heck’s wrong with them?

Just a matter of 14 year olds that read the boards… And, can’t say I don’t agree there. (Plus, it wasn’t my plan for the thread… I really did mean to help people that have problems flirting.)

Aw, TP,you’re making me feel so professional :slight_smile:
And don’t worry, only Stinky Paws gets me at full flirting power…

dlgirl, there is no reason for you to be shy. I’ve talked to you a couple of times, and you’re pretty cool.

I’m pretty sure that I don’t know how to flirt at all. I always end up just being mean to the person I like. Then he ends up thinking that I hate him.

My question: Please tell me the best way to handle the following situation - (Boy will stand for the guy I like, Guy will stand for another guy who is there)

Guy: Dumb and Dumber is an awesome movie.
Chum: Yeah. I used to have a really big crush on Jim Carrey.
Guy: Who didn’t you use to have a really big crush on?
Chum: Shut up.
Boy: Did you ever have a crush on me?

After much careful thought, I came to the conclusion that there is nothing good that can be said in response to that. This is what I said:

Chum: Oh yeah. I do right now.

However, I was forced to say this in a joking fashion. Now he thinks that I think that the idea of liking him is a joke!

Help! What would be a good thing to say in that situation? I obviously have no idea.

Does this mean I owe you money???

lurker,

Like you could afford, or for that matter,handle me?

Let’s just say Stinky Paws is one lucky man :slight_smile:
But I’m luckier since I’m HIS little ferret :slight_smile:

Carry on…

That’s ok… he’s my little… well, we haven’t figured out a name for it yet, but suffice it to say, it’s good!!! :slight_smile:

What the hell is the matter with me? Seriously, I have no idea how I managed that double post. If I can’t handle something this simple, how will I ever be successful at flirting? :frowning:

Thanks. Well, I have to start somewhere so how 'bout this:
What are some signs or signals that someone is flirting with you and what can you do to help you notice them?

You mean, all of the flirting I’ve seen so far has been understated? You’re holding back?

Holy cow. I must be really outta practice.

Yep, Ginger,he gets me at ten.
But he also gets me when I’m emotional,pissed off,raging with pms…

But he’s so worth it.
He’s the best. :slight_smile:
And I’m not sharing him.

That’s ok, hardy, you don’t have to share him. I wouldn’t know what to do with him.

Yeah, but remember they devaluate flirting north of the border by 35%. Exchange rate, you know.

:d&r:

I would hazard a guess that there are at least a few Americans that find my flirting more than just 65% effective. :wink:
