If you ever wondered how bad I was at flirting, I now have irrefutable proof to show you. A thread was started in my honor and I, apparently, remained clueless for well over 24 hours. I mean girls here were lining up the block to drool over me and I’m off bumbling around everyplace in the universe but here. 130 odd posts later, I’m left in the dust, clearly forgotten and unflirtworthy.
This, folks, is the sad sad sad sad story of my life. One step behind and flirt too few. Hip hip hoo…eh, faggedaboudit.

Wow! We’re starting to get full in here! Verrain, I’m glad you decided to drop in when you got back from your weekend away. Ender, doesn’t matter when you got here, you’re here. And dublos, I KNEW there was a reason I made you an instructor so quickly… You’ve got the knack!
Now, to take care of a little business…
Falcon - Seems like dublos is taking care of your instruction well. Listen to him. He was trained well. And I know a certain someone who you can practice with IRL. (And heck, if it comes down to it, I’ll volunteer lurker for flirting duties so you can practice with him after I move up there!!! )
Well…
Just do that kind of thing, and you’re well on your way!
But I do think you can use more practice… So…
Just what other things that come easy from my attention were you thinking of, hmmm?
Oh no you aren’t! Don’t you DARE go anywhere! (I like to use that phrase a lot, don’t I? ) I started this thread in your honor and as such, you’re going to stay here and learn how to flirt properly! And don’t make me pull that sit on your lap trick I told you about in the other thread. That’s only used in desperate cases, and you aren’t desperate!
So, where to begin… (See, I’m not very good with the inital flirt myself, so even teaching this class is a learning experience for me!) Well, lets go with the old tried and true pussy snorkel comment…
I just got my new pussy snorkel in the mail. I can’t wait to get a chance to try it out!
And your reply…?
But… um… I’m clearly out of my league here. In real life my natural cuteness buys me time to be witty. That’s hard to leverage on a message board.(I used to regret only being cute and not handsome, but now I’ve learned that cuteness has it’s own advantages.) Additionally, i just can’t keep up with the flurry of messages here. Don’t you folks have Everquest to play?
See, I spend my weekend on yardwork instead of here where I could truly LEARN something…
TruePisces - it is my considered opinion that I’m still too much of a newbie to hold my own when it comes to online flirting - well ACTUALLY, I’m just usually left holding my own.
There. That’s my best attempt at flirting. Or this (even worse):
My whole arsenal, and it’s not even original material - just worn-out Python quotes…
Actually, my biggest problem is one of timing. By the time I FIND the good flirt-y threads, everybody’s already paired off and I’m left all wallflowery. I had one brief, shining moment on the Mistletoe thread, but even that didn’t happen 'til the third page. And, besides, that was back before Christmas, FCOL! Practically an eternity here on the boards.
So…
I’m gonna turn in an entrance exam so you can look it over (or just overlook it) and see if there’s enough raw material to work with. But please hurry! If I wait much longer, my material will be TOO raw for anyone to work with.
Tygr’s Test:
Yes, I’d like you to teach me. Especially if your tutoring tips are as nice as your… ah, OTHER tips.
PART THE SECONDE:
Yes, if you could have MY thing well in hand I’d learn much from you, too!
::Tygr settles back to await word from the Emissions… I mean ADmissions Board.::
I need help. I couldn’t flirt if my life depended on it. Well, certainly not IRL anyway… online I’ve had a bit more success, but highly erratically. Sometimes it just happens and is a lot of fun, but if I set out to flirt deliberately I can never think of anything to say and I wind up self conscious and miserable.
