OT - Flirting 101

Ayy yo,

How does a person successfully flirt these day? Is flirting still in use or did it go out with the horse 'n buggy or the typewriter?  Back in the day, I used to get some of my best flirt lines from the singers of the late 70's and early 80's, but just about every singer on Sirius XM satellite radio these days that can barely hum a tune is singing about how he (or she) just wants to xes you up or they're on a CD somewhere talking about how they wanna "lick on thangs... or feel all kinds of wetness and stuff... or wanna do it doggy-style and whatnot..." and by the end of the song he's talking all reckless by saying that he wants to take 400 years of slavery and oppression out on the coochie... and some women each that **** up!!!  WTH???

But I digress...

That tactic may be effective (to some degree) in getting a woman interested but what ever happened to the art of flirting with someone new and or a guy saying that special something that had you twitching in your seat all day at work?  What happened to those sweet little notes that a woman could playfully sing in your ear that had you hammering like a sunnuva-***** all day long down at the construction site thinking about what may possibly come later? Have we over-exposed the joy of xes to the point where it is just as interesting as what movie we're gonna rent from NetFlix?  What happened to the art of the ear candy?

I know most of y'all are on vacations or still in the bed on this Labor Day weekend but... Holla atcha boy anyway?

I have no damn clue!! Althought I'm married..I enjoy a good flirt every now and again. This guy at school been trying to flirt with me for the longest..but the way he come at me aint' even flattering..lol I had to put him in his place bc his flirting has come down right disrespectful..there is a line and I be damn he done step so far over it..he stepped on my pretty toes..

I have the potential to be a damn good flirt I'm just afraid it may be taken in the wrong way. I know my husband flirt with the ladies at work..cuz they can eat him up with a knife and fork! This generaton don't know of any of the things you mentioned..they too busy tryign to drop them sagging pants to the flo!

Flatter me ..not offend me dammit

The thing that gets me is the stuff people "use" for flirting these days.  A brotha simply saying, "Hi Ma..." to a woman  is supposed to make them seem flirty?  What happened to the creativity?

IMO, I think flirting with your signficant other during the day is a definite plus.  It works for me and I got the "twitches" now as the result of an earlier conversation with him.

I was just discussing this last night with a gentlemen.  I dont think I am a flirt but I was told I was.  I got a note from a guy that said Hey Miss Flirt Flirt, he says that I am the flirtiest woman he knows.  I told him that I am just a happy woman that enjoys people. 

I realized that people just don't talk to him the way I do and I told him it was just southern charm and hospitality.  He is not buying it.  So I tooka poll last night to see if men thought I was a flirt.  Most told me that they really did not think of it as flirting but they enjoyed the way I talked with them and how much they really did think about me . They told me that I left them with thoughts they were afraid to let me know because i was a preacher.   I laughed an said Dayum I am a flirt and a good one too.  What I thought was a gesture of kindness on my part was taken totally different by those I contact.  I am flirted with all the time and I flirt back.....but did not realize the other times I was the initiator.  
It is definitely not dead, very much alive in my life.  I enjoy it and thank God now I know it and am good at it.

Flirting is dead.  I wi**** were'nt so.  

A good flirt with a casual stranger could weaken you at the knees and get the imagination flowing.  It was a pleasant ice breaker, weeder outer,  way to meet people.  And perfectly harmless.  Sometimes it went somewhere.  Most often it stood alone.

Lately I find too few men remember how to flirt or be flirted with.  A litttle lite flirtation is too easily interpreted as an invitation for his bird to roost in your nest.  Or damit he simply offers his bird as his gift to you.
