[QUOTE=Zeriel]

- Flirting with = lighthearted and playful in entirety. “Hey, cool shoes.”

:smack: Egads, I’ve better go clear up some confusions… 😉

Really, what I meant was just that those were cool shoes! :eek: 😃 I had no intention to engage in any playful flirting, I couldn’t have cared less whose feet were in those shoes… 😛

But I’m glad at the later turn towards pleasantness, for a moment there in the first page I was about to have another one of the anxiety episodes where the entire universe is a minefield and **JRDelirious** never speaks or moves unless in minimal response to a direct query for the rest of his life…😃
