All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
Whereas I say dating has one (really wordy) law to keep my advice simple.
Since pretty much the main thing people ask for is something along the lines of "I like her, what do I do?"

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
Word of advice. Never choose a password that reminds you of someone you are close to. Because, if it ends terribly, every time you go to access the program and need to remember the password, even if you have long since changed the password, you are reminded of what happened even years later.

I know a woman who changed her "Ricky" tattoo to "TRicky Woman" after her break-up.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
I call shenanigans on YOU, sir!
You're basically saying that if you're consciously flirting, it's fake, or, the other way round, that unconscious flirting is always genuine. In my opinion, neither are true. Of course, it depends on what you constitute as "fake". One could say you simply mean that it needs to come spontaneously in order not to be fake, but in that case I don't think you could be so damning of "faking it". I think what you mean by fake is ungenuine, untruthful to even deceiving. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what seems to be implied.
If that's the case, I have to disagree. Let's examine the first option: person A likes person B and decides to show this by flirting with her. Consciously, and thus fake as you like to put it. Is it a bad thing person A decides to flirt with her and is aware of his own feelings? No, that's self knowledge (as we all know the first tred on that long stairway to wisdom) and self control, both admirable qualities.
Maybe you'll say "well, if he likes her, he'd automatically flirt with her, naturally, without having to decide to!". Well, I've got news for you: there's plenty of people that don't have this reflex. Count yourself blessed that you do, but loads of folk have an innate shyness they need to overcome before they can "flirt". On the flipside of the coin though, I'd seriously question your unawareness of your own flirting, natural as it may be. How much are you really into someone if you don't even know you're into them? Are you even into them, or do you just flirt automatically?
This brings us to scenario 2: a gentleman (or a lady) who is sometimes referred to as a "player" has become so accustomed to flirting that they do it automatically, without a second though, without knowing they're doing it. I've personally seen this happen. Guys and girls used to flirting a lot who suddenly have boy/girlfriends or are otherwise unavailable who flirt out of reflex. They're not really interested, but they've just become so accustomed to flirting it's their standard way of dealing with the other sex (or the same sex, as the case might be).
Would this qualify as "nice"? I think not, conscious or unconscious, this is behaviour that could hurt people. Signals should be sent intentionally, that's what they're for. Signalling. I'm not saying you, my dear bearded gentleman, belong in this latter category, but still, a warning needs to be made to the world in general. Your philosophy is flawed in these areas.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
Demons, do NOT, I repeat- DO NOT- do anything unless you actually like her. A dream does not mean you like her. I had a dream I was dating a guy I knew a few years back. I wasn't at all attracted to him in real life. That would have been a Bad Basis for telling him I liked him.
That said, if you DO like her, age is a non-issue in this case. 2 years in the upper part of high school isn't all that big of a gap, or even particularly uncommon. Unless you were like a junior in college and she's JUST going to be a senior, I don't think there would be an issue.
One of the passwords I use regularly actually has ties to my ex. Is it weird that I don't even associate it with him? I've even utilized it post-break up for totally new things. Now I feel weird...Show me how pretty the world is

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
If you have to argue the semantics of it, by all means do so, but not with me. I'm of the strict belief that the subconscious mind holds our truest behaviors, and things we do unconsciously are by that virtue our most honest behaviors. If I'm *trying* to flirt with someone, it's because I shouldn't be wasting my time on them, but I am anyway, for whatever reason.
What you do is up to you, but I'm sure you know the old cliche: write what you know.Amazing Mountain King avatar courtesy of the remarkable Starwoof!

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
A single experience does not a universal truth make.
Basically, it's all of the above: a subconcious habit, an innate talent, a learnable, practicable skill, and a conciously enjoyable pastime and interaction.Last edited by Serpentine; 2010-07-08 at 10:08 AM.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
Now wait just a cotton-pickin' minute. I flirt with a lot of people. I'm totally uninterested in ~80% of them (female and male o.O). Does this make me a bad person? Or does it make me fun to be around and an ego booster? I've always thought the second option. It's not like I lead people on or... "Flirt maliciously"...
I am continuing to have a social life. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
I flirt with every gilr I know. It's ended up with me having about 80% female friends. I really don't think it's a bad thing.

Ever seen a girl blush at a compliment? That, my friends, is always worth your time.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice: The Thirteenth Woerier
I flirt with a lot of people, mostly subconsciously and due an aspect of my personality that my friends have decided to explain as me rolling an 18 for Charisma. I flirt with people that I'm not interested in but I flirt differently with those I am interested, unfortunately since I do it subconsciously I've flirted with people whilst I'm in relationships and had to take special care not to say anything that could be construed as flirting.
And yes, making someone blush when they've received a complement is very rewarding.

I was trying to make you blush!
EDIT: Actually, in retrospect, I'm kind of curious. How is a random compliment in a discussion of flirting in any way NOT relevant?Last edited by Pyrian; 2010-07-08 at 03:40 PM.
