**JavaMaven1** : Cook well enough, and I’ll even consider polygamy. (Actually, throw in a good bottle of wine and some creamy chocolate mousse afterwards, and you can consider it a done deal.) ---

Laughing is, IMHO, one of the most important parts of flirting. Now, you sitting on my lap–that is either the most inspired flirting I have ever seen or you are beyond my help. 😉 ---

:Rick thinks “how to make Brynda laugh”: Ok, so there’s an englishman, and irish man and a scotsman…Hmm, perhaps jokes aren’t the best idea, not the way I tell 'em 😃 I think, with the amount I weigh, it was not the best idea to sit in your lap. However, if you wanna sit in mine… 😉 😉 Rick ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Brynda \* > \*\*And last but not least, **JBirdman12** , the last time I flirted with someone with a number at the end of his username, it turned out to be his age. I am afraid to flirt with you–14 year-olds are my absolute lower limit. Plus, for goodness’ sake, you can’t be a “ravager of planets” and expect folks to toy with you. \*\* Ahh! There’s a formula for this (or is it an algorithm? I can never tell the difference) Just take the number in my username, miltiply it by 2, then add 2, and that’s my age (for another six months anyway) And about the “ravager of planets” thing. That’s not really my job; I borrowed it from an essay on Galactus from some Marvel Comics book. I must say though that it does look good on my resume. ---

So your ex(sss) was a photo enthusiast (from fridge thread). Why don’t you post something from **the collection**? 😉 One digital flirt coming your way! If I weren’t taken (and actually hopelessly in love) I swear I’d be heading Northwest for Valentine’s Day, if only to paw lamely at your doggie door hoping for a treat. How long would I remain on the porch? ---

Though I am not interested in online flirting–just never seemed “real” to me–I am responding to A girl’s lament in this and the original “Who’s the cutest…” thread. Mrs. Rhosis has finally talked me into ditching the webtv, and upgrading to mid-to-late 90s PC technology. So I can now view the People Pages at last. And I am at a loss to understand any lack of self-confidence, any thoughts of not being attractive that A girl may have. IMHO, you are one of the top two or three, in terms of physical beauty. “Stunning” and “provacative” and “mysterious” (it’s your eyes, they’re hiding a secret)immediately spring to mind. Surely “The Song of Soloman” was written for such as you. Sincerely, Sir Rhosis ---

Hey there, **A Girl**. How YOU doin’? 😉 ---

Hey! Is it too late for a Virginian to get in on this ‘non-flirty’ thing? Just keep quiet about it. I’ve mentioned Mrs Chance’s katana before… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thread-for-people-who-dont-get-mentioned-in-flirty-threads/50180.md?page=7)
