JACK DID IT: What About YOU?
rtprod:
Hi everyone,
Topic for today -- FLIRTING.
Jack's preening, strutting around like a peacock and, well, just the way he wears those jeans in the film's flirty opening sequence outside Aguirre's trailer make quite an impression on Ennis.
BUT what about your own real-life tales of flirting that have either WORKED, or gone horribly WRONG? And how about the best or worst flirting that has been done to you?
Myself, I think it's all in the eyes actually (though lately I think it's somewhat on the 'Net, or in the fingertips if you will, lol), and on my end I'm just "me" and try to be low-key and that can work. I don't use any fancy lines or anything, nope. But I can tell you the WORST one that someone ever tried on me. I was in a club when this guy who had been trying to talk to me came up and I was friendly and said "hello" for a second. The next thing out of his mouth was not the ice-breaker, but the deal-breaker:
"I'm surprised you're interested in me...because I suffer from low self-esteem." ::)
Amazing true story, folks. May be the most honest but worst attempted pick-up line anyone could say -- LOL.
So let's hear 'em. What do you do? And what has been done to you? And what really works anyway? Would you prefer just to cut to the chase? :o
Course, you could always just relax and let the emoticons work their magic: ;) :-* ;)

rt, you're gonna love this one ;)
I was at a party. I had just recently graduated from college and this was the first "post-college" party I had been to. I was living in a new city and had been invited to the party through a "friend of a friend" type situation--wasn't there with a date, it was more a chance to meet some folks. One of the things I discovered...in college, people go to parties to meet new people. After college, people go to parties to see their friends. No one was too interested in taking to me.
I'm sitting on the couch, sorta alone, and there is this guy also on the couch. Turns out the hostess was his girlfriend and she was busy doing all the hostess-y things she needed to do, and leaving him to his own devices. So we start talking.
I am wearing this shirt with my initials on it: LHN. The guy on the couch says to me, "What do those initials stand for, anyway?" and I replied, "Lovely, Horny and Nice." His jaw dropped at that!
It worked...I married that guy and one month from now (Jun 2) we'll be celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary.
And I am still LHN.

Well, you'll get no argument on that from anyone here at CT, that's for sure!
Wow, what a nice story that was to start off the thread. What line could have worked any better? lol
Now, someone spill something horrendous and give us all a good laugh! Who was embarassed beyond belief by something they did?
*evil rt grin*

I can cite my boldest attempt to flirt right off the top of my head. There was a fellow, with whom I became acquainted through a mutual friend, who was some five years older than me but had never had any sexual experiences (apart from himself) and definitely thought he was gay, though he was afraid of following through on any physical experimentation. He came from a rural, fundamentalist Christian background, and was pretty severely repressed. My friend thought this fellow might enjoy my company, that maybe I could help bring him out of his shell a little bit.
When he met one afternoon, to hang out and talk, I definitely felt physical attraction, and was pretty sure that this fellow felt something (if only idle curiosity). At one point, I felt an impulsive surge, and said, "You know, Dan, I'm certainly enjoying chatting with you, but I'm feeling a lot of sexual tension between us. I wondered if maybe we might like to go somewhere and do something about it." Now, this is not typical banter for me, and it certainly threw Dan for a loop. He got very sheepish, and stammered, "You mean, like...now?" I said, not necessarily now, but sometime, if he were interested, because I certainly was.
Well, nothing happened that day, but in the very near future, I became the first person for whom Dan disrobed, and the first man who he saw naked in an intimate context. So my boldness seemed to pay off, though my therapist at the time was horrified by my line when I recounted it to her. She seemed to think it was too forward or inappropriate. A friend of mine, on the other hand, laughed in amazement, since the statement was so out of character for me, and, moreover, actually worked!
Cheers,
Scott

rt, You may think you have done more than your share of flirting on the net, but I assure you the audiences are still very hungry for more actions. ;D
I am fairly inexperience in the “flirting” department; apart from being shy is part of my personality. I have only dated one guy that I met in college. After 6 years’ dating (3 of those were long distance), married him and we are in our 7 years of marriage now. So you see I did not have a lot of opportunities to practice my “flirting” skills ;)
I have to dig deep in my memory to see if I have some story to tell. :)
