You smooth talkin' devil, you!

HEY--it's Saturday! So where's set????

Dys is the cutest flirter ever, but he doesn't really know he's flirting. Guess that's what makes it sooooo cute.

Exactly, and then who needs rohypnol :wink:

I thought flirting was one of the primary needs. You know, like eating, sleeping drinking fluids, chocolate.

The choice between chocolate and flirting is indeed one of the agonizing conundrum's of life . . .

Set, I agree. However, one can flirt audaciously while eating a chocolate covered stawberry. Not that I would ever do that. :wink: Until I became a woman, I never realized it was a primary food group. However, if I overindulge for too long a period of time, it tends to got waist.

I've not seen my waist since there were honest politicians in congress . . .

<sigh> I wish I could <even bigger sigh>

Wish you could WHAT, Oh prince? See your waist?
Rumour has it that you're a lithe & trim chappy!

Set, when were there honest politicians in congress? Even back in 1936, at the Democratic National Convention Will Rogers commented, "We have the best Congress money can buy."

He also said: "I am a member of no organized political party . . . I'm a Democrat."

It goes a lot further back than that. Samuel Clemens wrote: "Suppose I were a member of Congress; suppose I were an idiot--but then, i repeat myself."; as well as writing: "No man's life or property are safe while the legislature is in session."

Better yet, in the 1830's, Albert Sydney Johnston, one day to be lionized as the greatest Confederate soldier, and to be killed at Shiloh, wrote to his father-in-law in Louisville, Kentucky. Johnston had been to Washington, and had gone to the public galleries to watch Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and John Calhoun debate on the floor of the Senate. He wrote that he recommended the profession of politician to any man with a third or fourth son who was not of a serious disposition and for whom honest work could not be found.

Set, I remember that Johnston quote from my US Government class in College. The professor added aside, "Some families don't even wait for the third or fourth son." He was refering to the Kennedy's, but it could be applied to other present families now, I belive.

isn't it interesting how the topic of flirting suddenly became a topic of government and celebrities??

So it has, pragmatic! (I'd lost track of this thread for a bit)


So folks, have we now said everything there is to know about the fine art of flirting?
Does every person here who ever wanted to flirt, but lacked confidence in their technique, now feel they like an expert?

actually, the opposite. when i was 18 - 19 i could flirt like a pro. then i got into a long relationship and it just doesn't happen so naturally anymore. perhaps thinking of consequences as one gets older stands in the way? like, do i *really* want this guy to become interested in me and then go into explaining how we'd not match? eh, not worth the trouble.
