It isn't exactly an art, but it is a skill that some people are better at than others. You see people doing it wrong all the time. I like to think i was pretty good at it back in the day, i've probably lost it now though. I haven't attempted it for the past 5 years that i have been in a serious relationship. No takers so far for it being an Art Form but lots of people agree that some are better at it than others. Wonder what those people have?...those that are better at it That's just like in real life as well, though. Some people are better at flirting than others. Those people have confidence. Flirting as an art form???? Very doubtful, but could be viewed that way by those who are no good at it... or THINK they are.....the ones who try so hard usually suck at it. The ones who think their no good are prolly doin it right.

I believe it is easier for Women to seduce men because of one thing. Chelsea Handler "Women just need to show up and bring their vagina".

And "Kevin Please!!" (that is how Kevin broke me of saying "N-word please", I have to say "Kevin Please" now on the b ball court LOL) Guys who know how to do ALL THE SMILIES = PLAYERS Guys who know every feature of Yahoo Messenger= PLAYERS Guys who hide their online status = suspect Guys who refuse to chat on here and want to use messenger = scammers usually oh and guys who work a lot of sites say their address like: name at such and such dot com because they know other sites do not let name@suchandsuch.com go through PLAYERS

True, true!...and to be good at it, I think you must be able to determine WHO you should or should not flirt with...Good flirting is a two way street...Flirter and flirtee must both be up for it, receptive to it, and aware of the meaning....

I get in trouble a lot with this. I am the biggest worst cyber tease on the planet as far as guys I will talk to, etc. I will have a full on online relationship and even talk on the phone like I am serious, I am totally not. I may even met you. I will write bad poetry. AND my real life guy friends cannot wait to hear the stories. I grew up with guys so as they say, "don't hate the playa, hate the game".

If you like to flirt and be flirted with, and I do, every once in awhile you're going to make a misstep ...I go with intent and am quick to apologize if I have offended someone...no one is perfect, but everyone likes lighthearted, innocent fun...It's what makes the forums great!!!...So RAVE on Terrie...you are LOADS of fun.... Oh, and PS and THIS IS FOR RUTH if you are reading.....I love you, I trust you, you can flirt with ManO any time you like ...If you don't, he will pout......and I hate when he does that!

I don't think a woman or a man take it for granted that a guy or a girl who flirts with him or her wants him or her to kiss them. The art form comes into play only when he or she only wants him or her to "want" to kiss them. Flirting is fun...Real is real.

I am the type that IF I WANT TO KISS SOMEBODY they will know it because my lips will be planted on their face. Otherwise, do not assume anything.

Oh, and PS and THIS IS FOR RUTH if you are reading.....I love you, I trust you, you can flirt with ManO any time you like ...If you don't, he will pout......and I hate when he does that! He's such a baby. Actually, I recently had someone get hurt because of a misunderstanding with my flirting in the forums when he thought I was being serious. So, I am rethinking this whole thing.

I'm a wicked bad flirt. And by bad I don't mean I'm terrible at it...just that I do it a LOT. lol But I have learned that I have to be super careful with my flirting, because I do tend to go overboard. It's hard to gauge at times if people really understand that I'm just flirting for flirtings sake...sometimes when I think people are just joshing around with me, I find out that they thought I was serious. And then it gets kind of awkward. And if there's one thing I hate, it's unecessarily hurting someone's feelings. So yeah...I love flirting, but I'm trying to put a handle on it. I'm a flirty work in progress. And do I think it's an art form? Absolutely.

Don't stop being the way you are. Some people need to learn to realize that not everything said in the forums is serious.

I have given up on being PC long ago and worrying so much about avatars feelings. Some people will pretend to be hurt just to upset you.

I used to have my admirers because i used to be able to make people laugh, i dont think i actually attempted flirting in the way most people view as flirting. I probably engaged in a lot of sexual innuendo, which could be seen as flirting, but in reality all i was doing was trying to be funny. In real life i couldnt flirt with a prostitute that i paid to flirt with me. It is certainly easier online.

If I am taking it to another level in real life, I grab your azz or lick your face or something. It's very clear.
