**RickQ** , made your day? I got kissed twice today, which makes it a Day That Shall Live In My Memory Forever. Ok, the kiss from you was the kiss of life, but since it was from a Yorkshireman, it counts. (Can you tell I read the All Creatures series a million times? Not to mention loved the series?) **Meephead** , is not mentioning that your picture is on the People pages as of today part of that subtle thing? And just a word to the wise–I don’t scare easily. 🙂 ---

Heck, I’d marry you all if I could. _prances around and throws butterflies and flower petals around, creating a lovey mushy aura about her welfish form_ As for **Tristan** … How can I answer you if you never really asked me a specific question? 😉 ---

Someone was posting about cheating, I think. And you posted this big long fantasy where you came home, found your girl cheating, and beat her and the scumbag she was cheating with to death, or some weird thing like that. Then I darted over to the picture pages to check you out and it was your old picture where you look like this super-scary guy. You made an impression on me all right. \*\* pepperlandgirl \*\* , I mentioned you in the crush thread! \*\* narile \*\* , you always used to pinch my bum in the chat room. Being one who HATES having my bum pinched, I remember that! And now, my sad confession: I am never flirted with, never called “cute”, no one ever proposed to me, and I’m just basically pathetic. Yup, this thread is my new home. :: finds a beanbag chair in the corner and settles in to stay a while :: ---

Gosh, I don’t feel so alone anymore. I feel confident and sure of myself. I still don’t think that I make an impression when I post, but I know I’m not the only one. BTW, I think that a lot of the non-notice that we get stems from our relatively low post counts. I think once you get over 500 or so, you’ve been around enough for people to notice. They still may not flirt, but they’ll notice. Oh yes, they’ll notice. ---

Man, people will follow you. Posters are like sharks - they can detect the smallest amount of blood and will move in for the kill. This is currently working for webmstr (low post count).

Wow, the thread is still alive and I have posted multiple times to it 😕 Usually any thread I post to dies immediately. Perhaps my powers are failing :Rick checks his Threadkiller ™ Fingers which go off accidentally: Whoa! careful people, there is no telling where that landed. If I killed off someone else’s thread by mistake, sorry 'about that. I guess it is just the power of all you the beautiful people in here that is stopping it from working 😉 TTFN Rick ---

::flutters eyes:: Hey there stranger… lookin’ for some company? I’ve been watching you… ::sigh:: See, I’m not that good of an online flirt. However IRL, I tend to get in trouble for being a _good_ flirt. ::raises eyebrow:: Doesn’t mean that I don’t still enjoy it. I’d love to have a title, a virtual fiance, a crush… you name it, but I hope that will come of its own accord. And soon. ~Mag Hey, Look at the link on my Sig! (hint hint) ---

\*Originally posted by Necros \* > [@](#): > > \*\*People don’t even want to _talk_ to me, let alone _flirt_ with me. \*\* Not true. I once tried to pull pieces of a broken light bulb out of a socket with my finger, standing on a damp bathroom floor, while leaving the other lights in the fixture on so I could see what I was doing. So you see, I have flirted with death. ---

Brunetter, patted, not pinched. I don’t pinch…much. So I guess I’ve flirted once or twice, but haven’t really seen any flirting with me that I didn’t start. Probably doesn’t help that I’m most likely looked at as being a drive by poster in most threads. I’ll post a stand, and read replies, but won’t post again unless I feel the need to clairify or adjust my position. I don’t normally post to hear myself speak (So to say of course.) ---

I’m loving this thread. I guess by now you’ve figured out that I am someone you have to take by the hand and lead so here goes with another question that I have been wanting to ask for so long. How do you put those little quotes at the bottom of your posts? I would be afraid to ask that anywhere else but here. 🙂 ---
