Rant: Flirting

[Vince's Firecrackers]

Dude, don't over analyze this crap. Chicks don't like to admit it, but they like a guy that is self confident and give off the idea that they could take them or leave them. You need to walk right up to the line of being jerk but don't cross it.

This crap you see in movies of women eventually falling for the sensitive male friend because she realized he is a great guy is crap! Be yourself, be confident and chicks will be attracted to you. I know it is easier said than done.

I have been accused of flirting all the time, even my wife says I flirt with her cousin (19 yr old hottie) all the time. I am not conciously flirting, it is just my personality. I worked in grocery stores all my life, customer service was a must. I can start up a conversation about just about anything.

"Ma'am, are you smuggling pencil erasers in your blouse from aisle 10 or are you just happy to see me?"

Ok. Lets start the discussion on how much you suck.

My wife says the same thing about me sometimes and it really pisses me off. Just because I'm friendly to another woman doesn't mean I'm flirting w/ them!

I don't really understand how anyone can dislike flirting. I mean, if you don't like it, don't do it. Eventually a girl will come up to you and make it obvious. If you don't like the "games" don't play them. Some would say you'd be better off in the end b/c you'll have been with less girls most likely and will have had more time to have fun with your friends. It's not like you have to bring a girl home for it to be a successful night. As a matter of fact, I don't htink I initiated one conversation with a girl. Ever. And, I have the most wonderful, beautiful, caring g/f in the world right now....no offense to any of the girls here. It's just that this girl and I meche and it's awesome. And, yes, she came over to my table and was impressed enough to leave her date and stay with me.

Yeah, but you can still be a sensitive guy if that's who you are, you just have to be flirtatious, sarcastic and funny too. Its a tough line to walk, but its doable. You just have to be legitimately happy with who you are when you're single. More than just likeing yourself, but accepting the things you don't like about yourself, and not being embarassed about them. Then you can start to move past them.

I think someone who is truly happy with themself will always attract someone. Be yourself and don't compare yourself to others. The right friends and relationships will come along. Sounds corny, but they will.

Oh, and like JL said, just assume they're all interested. You'll find out if they're not. If I get turned down, I continue to interact with the person in the same way. Just because they don't want your junk (right now) doesn't mean you can't make a friend, and still have a lot of fun (just less naked fun... for now). When they see that I'm not embarassed, it doesn't get awkward.
