Poly-friendly mingling/flirting thread

Soft*Silver · 05-02-2012, 11:31 PM

I was always adamantly opposed to being poly for myself, but so much has changed with me this past year. I know I could be. I dont know if now is a good time to be, since i am so busy with the store opening (delayed now until June) but I wouldnt be opposed to it if chrissy was open to it as well

Aishah, you have two professional flirters on here * to Apoc* We will teach you the fine art that is the coquet. And if you make it to Reunion...which you should...you will see it in action.

What some people don't understand is that flirting isn't just BS or blowing smoke. When I tell a woman she's beautiful, it's because I truly mean it. Or that her smile warms my heart...it's not just cliche, it really does turn my heart. On the flip side, in the flirt, if someone isn't attractive to me, I still try to find a feature in them that I admire and focus on it to flirt with. Because I would venture that a little flirting makes most of us smile.

So lesson 1- Be honest when you are flirting/complimenting.

Have a great day.

Yeah, when I saw we had a flirting newbie I thought how perfect we have 2 of the biggest flirts I know here ready to help. 'Cause we are generous like that. *high five to Paj*.

Come to the reunion!!!!

Heh.. K and I have always been open to having another, ideally a couple but I think our biggest challenge right now is exhaustion from work. I'd love to flirt but I'd be afraid of falling asleep..

aishah · 05-03-2012, 11:35 AM

hehehehehe, thanks apocalipstic and pajara!

i compliment people a lot (honestly) but i never thought of it as flirting before. my eyes have been opened!

Apocalipstic · 05-03-2012, 12:49 PM

I think compliments can be very flirty, as can a look of pure admiration! A sideways glance....a touch on the arm when talking. An unexpected whistle....

Thank you June! We work our little fingers to be bone to express admiration for the beauty and hotness around us.

And I totally get what you are saying. It would be nice to have someone around to do the things we don't want to or are not good at. Each person can play to their strengths.

Like I don't ever want to be in a position where I am cheated on or yelled at or told what to do ever again.

If I am not putting out enough? No prob, see your other GF.
I want to spend Christmas at the beach? again, no prob take your other GF to your parents for family time.
You don't like how I fold towels??
How I squeeze my toothpaste?
What I watch on TV?
What way the toilet paper goes on? and other BS you can think of...not a problem, because you have other relationships in your life who might enjoy your toothpate tube issues...live with them.
Want to dish out passive aggressive whining?....thats right, call someone else.

See Me when you want to spend special time with and serve Me. Heh.
