Hello there, Turpentine! 
(I know, I’m a heterosexual female, but I find Turpentine to be quite a gal…) **

EEEEEP!
::Turp covers her face and turns bright red, resisting the urge to giggle foolishly and run down the hall…:::
I’ve been here for a couple of months, and I’ve got a photo in the people pages.
No comments abut how cute I am, no comments about my eyes, nothing about how a fine young lass wants to seek my hand in virtual marriage, nothing.
I must be dull and ugly, it’s the only thing I can think of. Might as well pack it in, and move to a shack in Montana.
:Rick sits quietly in the corner:
Anyone got and tips on this whole flirting business? I am not very good at it 
<sigh>
Being shy and quiet sucks sometimes 
I got mentioned once, so I guess that is some improvement.
Rick
Hehe. Not allowed to post links to naughty websites. Sorry…
But there are other ways to get information out of me.
RickQ, you silly Yorkshireman, you said “TTFN” on page 2. No one knew you were back!
Sit down and have a cold beverage. It is lovely to see you again. (Don’t want to scare the quiet and shy guy away with too much flirting at once.)
I’ll agree with that.
I never get mentioned in flirty theads either, but I don’t mind.
No really. I don’t.
Besides, if I start flirting with someone, I’m gonna get spider bites all over me.
And that’s no fun.
Well… sometimes it is.
and you didn’t even mention the Harley. I would be allover that, except for that first item sigh
I would change my name to Old Broad, but someone already has it.
You know, I have no illusions about my physical appearance - I’m short, have fucked-up teeth, no chin, and I’m rapidly gaining weight with no plans to lose it. So it doesn’t surprise (or bother) me that I don’t come up on the “cute dopers” thread. If you were to randomly select 5 guys (one of them being me) and put us in a line-up and have others rate us on our desirability, the odds would be pretty low that I’d be in the top 3 most of the time. When I was 13, my mom said something very helpful to me (though I didn’t think so at the time): “John, you’re never going to get by on your looks, so you need to concentrate on your personality and intellect.” Damn if the old bat wasn’t right. Despite my rather unappetizing physical attributes, I’ve never had much trouble getting dates, which I credit to my cultivation of non-physical qualities. The majority of people, I’ve found, are not so shallow that they become attracted to somebody solely based on outward appearance. I’ve never been flirted with on these boards, but then I’ve never acted flirty myself, which is probably the case with most of you and has more to do with your lack of sexual attention than your looks or personalities. I can honestly say that nearly everyone here has, at one time or another, said something to make me think, or laugh, or wonder. That’s what I call attractive.
You are THE MAN! Very well said!
BTW, damn your name! LOL Every time I hear Snoop Doggy Dog, I sing Woodstock Birdy Bird. My roommates think I am on crack or something. Thanks for the laughs.
Doh!
:Rick smacks forehead: I did not realise people thought I’d gone, I just tend to close with that :wally:
:Rick sits next to Brynda: It’s nice to know I was missed 
If you wanna flirt, go right ahead. Maybe I’ll pick something up along the way
Rick
Mmm…well, making me laugh was a good start, Rick.
Now I think we need some mild sexual innuendo and some winky smilies.
You could move a little closer, too.
:Rick moves closer:
Ah, right, you’re supposed to sit on my knee, not the other way round.
:Rick gets off Brynda’s knee: 
I’m trying to think of a way a Yorkshireman can do sexual inuendo, it just doesn’t seem to fit.
Is that any better?
Rick
A flirt thread!!! In my dreams… I´d be happy to get a mere fleeting mention in an obscure, dead, 1 response Pit thread
(huddles in the corner crying and rocking back and forth)
p.s. I see dead people…
Ok. I’ll finally join this thread. I recall a girl who flirted with me in kindergarten. After falling prey to her wiles, we were engaged to be married. Alas, it just didn’t work out. I thought I could make her happy, but she wanted more form life. That was the last time someone flirted with me. And so, humbled by 35 years of flirt lack, I submit my name to this thread. And to all those who have posted in this thread, I’ve noticed you all, and it’s only through my misplaced sense of decorum, and my total lack of flirting skills, that you have not been previously hit upon.
Why thank you, Meep. That was cool of you to say.
As a public service announcement, I’ve met woodstockbirdybird a couple times IRL now and he’s 100% dead on. I don’t mean that his unflattering self-description fits, but that it’s understandable that he doesn’t have problems getting dates.
Rasa, you’re making me blush. Thanks. That was a sweet thing to say.
oh, yeah. That’s me.
