Duane Thomas Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Okay, I hate to sound like some paragon of functional social skills here, but it's really not that hard to tell when a woman's truly interested, and when she's just being friendly and flirty. Personally, I like flirting. It's fun. This all reminds me of something an old girlfriend of mine once told me about my longtime best friend, Richard: "You know what I love about Richard? He's self-confident enough to enjoy flirting, and absolutely doesn't expect anything to come of it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, especially since sometimes the woman herself hasn't decided whether or not she is "interested" or "just being friendly and flirting" until afterward. There aren't any reliable rules here. You just have to trust your gut and go for it if you want it, then see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I get away with saying the occasional flirty thing to some of the guys at the range, but it's usually the result of very good timing (coupled with humour), knowledge of whom I'm "flirting" with, and knowledge of the degree to which I can do this. Most of these guys are married, but we say what we say at times when the timing is right--and usually in front of others--because it's almost always humour-based remarks... and having an audience is half the fun.... but flirty remarks nonethless. It's a sport all its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have rejoined the world of single life(and shooting life). Any thoughts on understanding are appreciated. Cause let me tell you.

Turtle Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 TL, ....ok, but in percentages of women you meet, it must be less than .01%... Actually, I heard on WTOP news radio the other day (not that I believe everything I hear on the radio) that women have now achieved true equality, when it comes to cheating. They are about neck-and-neck with men at around the 50% mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling White Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I hate "cheaters" and someone pretending to be single.....it really puts the ugly into the mix of the dating game! The ring should be the "tell-tell" sign. Flirting is something that could be compared to classification.....D class to Grand Master! Books have been written on this! The ones I enjoy reading are: light her fire and mars & venus on date....mastering the skills are the hard part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reneet Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I think I'm going to get an old wedding band at a pawn shop or something and wear it. My plan is to attract chicks who specialize in tempting married guys, or who only find guys attractive if some other woman has them, thus reassuring the woman that the guy is attractive enough to pursue.If that fails, I'm getting a black suit and a roman collar. Chicks dig priests. Can't speak for other ladies here but if I see a ring, guy is off limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Ditto what reneet said. I don't EVER, EVER, EVER even THINK about doing married ones. That's a guaranteed lose-lose-lose situation if there ever WAS one!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling White Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Man, with that awesome avatar, you don't need skills! You're in like Flynn! Thanks for the vote! The avatar was just too cute when I stumbled across it....kinda like me !! The dating game is definately a challenge....especially when you introduce your date to the wonderful world of practical shooting for the first time ! The second question that gets asked is "how often do you do this?"!!! Well....umm Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have found that if you be forward and just ask they will tell you. If they are in a serious relationship, they shouldn't be acting intersted and flirting anyway. But... we are talking about women here. I have noticed that no matter how committed they are...when the cat is away the mouse will play. I don't know why, I have just seen it countless times. TXAG Exactly. And if they do fess up to bing married, the polite response on your part is: "OK, then we'll have to skip the foreplay and get straight to it.... I don't want to be here when the idiot gets home."

No one's asked ME that yet... but perhaps that's because I usually tell them up-front so they'll have a clear idea of what they're dealing with. (Love me, love my 1911!)My probable answer to that question... "As often as possible!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, now that I don't agree with. No offense intended, please understand. IMHO any man or woman knows whether or not they'd sleep with a person within 30 seconds of meeting them.

texasag93 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I know whether I would sleep with a woman within 30 seconds of meeting her. Most people do too, whether they admit it or not. Human nature. Some supress it better than others. TXAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Merlin-- "Flirting" is MUCH different than "Teasing." Teasing is cruel; Flirting is kind. No, all men are NOT dogs. Trust me on this one. RE: The 30-second test... Yep, I can think of at least three (or six or ten) guys at the range that I have to keep my hands off of in the first FIVE seconds, baby. Whew!

Sterling White Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 We should be careful here.....there is risk with being a little flirtateous at the range! Like loosing ones focus or mental concentration. You girls would never do that to us would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
