I have always been, since childhood, a friendly and outgoing person. I like to talk and socialize. I like to joke and kid around and laugh. But if I tease you, especially in an adult-humor-type way, I am NOT flirting with you. I promise. Let me clarify:
Flirting, to me, implies that I would...in some way...like to follow up on any of the suggestive comments being bantered about. True flirting is the prelude to touching, kissing, or some form of sexual contact. If I am truly flirting with you, then yes...I want that contact, or I am at least open to the possibility.
But making off-color jokes does not mean I want your body. Teasing you in an adult humor way does not mean I have the hots for you. It means (and let's be perfectly clear here) that I AM KIDDING. It means I am trying to MAKE YOU LAUGH.
That is all. No more.
At the moment, I am lucky enough to have a wonderful significant other. HE is the one who lights my fire. I want him, practically all the time. No matter what I say to you, or what you might think my joking comments imply, HE is the one that I want. No one else. But even if I were unattached, teasing you and kidding around with you does not mean I am interested in getting up-close and personal.
So, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but although your male ego may fool you into thinking otherwise......
I am not.
flirting.
with you.
Really.
Sorry.

What?
Are you serious?!?!?!?!?
I can't believe it. I was sure you were flirting.
I think you're just saying this to back out of what you started.
:)
RWA - Watch it, Mister. I can tell when I'm being poked.
Blondefabulous - I'm so glad someone gets my point. Thank you.
J.
It's kind of shitty and unfortunate that you have to make this obvious statement.
Adam - I totally agree. But I had had it with some people misconstruing my intentions. And I felt so much better after I wrote it. Thank you for, as a male, understanding my point.
J.
Adam was flirting with you with that comment. LOL
You've totally crushed some poor guy today.
Good job! ;-)
but are you flirting with ME? because i'm a girl and i don't think it counts...
I get it, If I thought you were serious, it would probably terrify me as well as have me question your sanity. I mean, look at my picture again. I quit chasing women 37 years ago when I got married.
And I thought we had something going. I'm just crushed. And besides that, I'm crying in my beer. What a lousy night!
Jay - If Adam was flirting with me, he disguised it well. I'm not trying to crush anyone in particular.
Crys - No, I'm not flirting with you either. I don't swing that way.
Just Dave - I'm glad we got THAT straight! Especially since we're going to meet soon! Yay!
Craig - I couldn't possibly keep up with you even if I wanted to! Sorry about your beer.
J.
I totally think you were flirting with Crys. I mean, I would flirt with Crys... I mean... sometimes I DO flirt with Crys.
I thought you were saving this post until April 1st. ;-)
Wow are you on a short leash.
I guess I'm not much of a flirt, but I've known plenty of them and know they aren't serious - it's just part of who they are. Otherwise, my son's godmother would be chained to a concrete brick and hanging out at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico...
Still, it's kind of sad that people have to be TOLD.
I've unleashed a demon!
That, or someones flirting with you.
Amy - Well, okay....but just Crys! She is so adorable!
Brother Dave - Har, har.
Trukindog - This post is especially aimed at you, you nutball! (grin)
Sayre - It just had to be said. I felt better afterwards.
T-dude - No demon. Just setting the reoord straight. And no, no one is flirting with me. Except you.
