I'm so cool, if I were any cooler I'd be gay.

I know Eva, I told you, I'm really no fun.
I'm too lofty.
I can vouch for that!
Are you still upset about that drink I threw in your face?
are you addressing ME, sir?
I don't flirt with anyone. I'm too shy.
Hey!
Maybe I DO still flirt with my husband!
Dinner cooking time is my big dance time. I turn on the radio and ..... well... get gone. So tonight Mo and Mr. B are in there and Mo and I are dancing to "Lola" and they wander off to watch new Harry Potter DVD and "Heard it through the Grapevine" comes on and I'm grooving around when I catch Mr. B watching....
Later...
I walk by and there are these beautiful girls backflipping and dancing through Hogwarts and I hear Mr. B say to Mo: "Look, they're just like Mom".
You're right, Lash. I'm innocent.
Chai, I was afraid you were going to respond with "You wanna piece of ME?"
boomer, that is so sweet. seems like your husband is flirting with you.
i flirt with a friend of mine a lot. it was all fine and well for years - either he or i or both were in relationships. now we're suddenly both single at the same time. it gets awkward at times. and makes me tired. like i want to stop, but i can't, because that's the role... that's how it always has been.
Flirting's fun. And it should be taken as a compliment to the other, not a commitment.
it should be, but like i said, doesn't always happen that way.

huh?
sorry, I'm lost.
were you asking ME how I was doing? I wasn't sure.
see, if this is fliriting, i don't get it.
funny....I asked my husband before "do you ever think you flirt w/ anyone?"
he just gave me a weird look and said "no"
Nevermind, just some random, free-association play.
hmmmm....well, I guess if it's any concillation to me I know I'm very romantic with the person I'm supposed to be romantic with....
serious question...and I'm not trying to be a buzz kill, or talking out my ass...
Isn't the purpose of flirting supposed to be to get the other person sexually/romantically interested in you?
I think what ya'll are calling flirting I call joking around.
SIRC Guide to Flirting
What Social Science can tell you about flirting and how to do it
Why do we flirt?
Flirting is much more than just a bit of fun: it is a universal and essential aspect of human interaction. Anthropological research shows that flirting is to be found, in some form, in all cultures and societies around the world.
Flirting is a basic instinct, part of human nature. This is not surprising: if we did not initiate contact and express interest in members of the opposite sex, we would not progress to reproduction, and the human species would become extinct.
According to some evolutionary psychologists, flirting may even be the foundation of civilisation as we know it. They argue that the large human brain - our superior intelligence, complex language, everything that distinguishes us from animals - is the equivalent of the peacock's tail: a courtship device evolved to attract and retain sexual partners. Our achievements in everything from art to rocket science may be merely a side-effect of the essential ability to charm.
Who do I flirt with?
Practically everyone.
Nobody flirts with me :-(
I'm ascertaining from Intrepid's comment, you can herein refer to me as nobody.
Chai-- I think your interpretation of flirting is quite different than mine. I guess the serious flirting would lead to sex. There's another more friendly, affectionate flirting that I think people other than me may be talking about. That's the one I related to you.
