when does harmless flirting stop being harmless?

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:19

Grace cheers, will pop off to shops tomorrow once I have been and bought my carpets.

Sparkle. I never compromise others feelings. I am sexually liberated in some ways but not in others, but that is neither here nor there tbh.

The original question was on the back of a chat with friends.

I am not interested in my male friends for any other reason than I an whoop their butts at pool. Xmas Grin

tight jeans and a tight top I'll bet.

Dear God thought I would never make it to page 4, wish I hadn't.

I knew a girl like you, every hungover post mortem always begun ' Christsakes I was only havinadrinkanalaff.' Thought she was one of the 'boys' and drinking pints and shootin pool was a passport to male approval, as did getting pissed and telling lewd jokes.

She is the joke, the 'boys' were laffin alright, at her.

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:21

Valium you presume wrong!

It depends who I go out with tbh. I sometimes go out and meet friends in the pub, other times I will go with male friends and their partners, other times I will go with the male friends. Sometimes I go out alone.

I do not behave in the same way as this woman because I don't jump in front of anyone or butt in on their conversation. I certainly don't hang off of any of my male friends.

who gives a shit now, honestly ?

perfumeditsawonderfullife · 22/12/2010 19:23

You do seem to go to the pub a lot, for a mother with two kids. Is there something there you don't have at home, apart from a pool table and draught lager?

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:24

ILIWYMB, tightish jeans yes, but never tight tops and never low cut. and always worn with a scarf and flat boots.

Perfume, I never drink so much that I get a hangover! I am always aware of what I am doing/saying. I am not one for lewd jokes. But yes I do drink pints albeit slowly.

perfumeditsawonderfullife · 22/12/2010 19:25

I think you are taking yourself far too seriously.

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:25

perfume, I go to the pub once or twice a week. thats hardly a lot.

OP posts:
ValiumShimmer · 22/12/2010 19:30

Oh sorry, it sounded to me like you hang around the men which was causing a problem, maybe with you being considered too flirty. And then it also seemed to me that you were mocking other women who tried to join in the chat/group.

Not sure I get it. Anywayy, cheers. Your very good health.

SparkleRat · 22/12/2010 19:33

The feelings of your male friend's partners could be hurt if they were not sure of the standing of your relationship, intentions of both sides e.t.c. I didn't mean my post as a direct attack just wish I could have found the article as it might have been useful to you as an insight as to why other women think you are a flirt (if they do) and are disdainful of/threatened by you. It could be dur to the signals you are sending out to both men and women through this kind of behaviour.

perfumeditsawonderfullife · 22/12/2010 19:33

Once or twice a week, without your dp and kids at home, I would say that was a lot.

nogreatexpectations · 22/12/2010 19:43

How are your kids OP, I mean do they figure much in your life or is it just all about you?

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:44

Perfume, dp doesn't live with me. but does come round in the week and at the weekend while I go out.

DS1 can be wearing and it is good for me to have a break. Helps me cope better. tbh i could just as easily go to the cinema/theatre on those nights. Just it is a time for me.

BrianAndHisBalls · 22/12/2010 19:44

Envy we get out once or twice a year at the moment Grin

at a party a couple of years back we had a similar situation, this girl kept throwing herself at one of our male friends. He begged us (me and dp) to help him so everytime she cornered him we would subtley jump in and rescue him. He couldn't really tell her straight to leave him alone because she was one of his friend's sisters.

Maybe the guy you were talking to has an arrangement with this other woman to 'rescue' him if she sees him cornered by you?

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:45

NGE, I am very involved in my childrens lives I am with them every single day. Friday at 9pm I go out. Sunday at 8pm I go out.
The rest of the time I am with my children.

TLES - "ILIWYMB, tightish jeans yes, but never tight tops and never low cut. and always worn with a scarf and flat boots."

Erm, your profile picture top looks pretty low cut to me, and that looks very like a pub garden table.

nogreatexpectations · 22/12/2010 19:47

OP, you been working too hard maybe, need a break, although maybe your partner might feel the same but he is too busy babysitting?

I have to ask, do you live in a "cansil owse"?

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:48

BAHB, I have already explained I was sitting at the bar. He spoke to me, and he was far from cornered, he started the conversation and I just answered him.

This woman is not a friend of anyones tbh.

And sorry you don't get out as much as you'd like!

OP posts:
AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 22/12/2010 19:50

aw come on, the OP might be a bit of a silly sod wrt men, but there is no reason to doubt her mothering skills

and the kind of house she lives in has no bearing whatsover

ffs

TLESinChristmasStockings · 22/12/2010 19:51

Biscuit, that was also 2.5yrs ago. It was a pub garden I was out with my DP, Mum, and DS's having a meal in memory of my dad on what would have been his 60th birthday. In June.

NGE, DP is not one for going out, he is happy looking after his chidren, because babysitting is a paid service not something you do with your own children.

And no atm and for the last 7 years I have lived in private housing.

OP posts:
perfumeditsawonderfullife · 22/12/2010 19:52

When do you see your Dp then? He doesn't live with you, is all the man you ever need, he is left at your home minding the kids while you go down the pub Xmas Confused chatting to all your friends, males included.

Are you sure you and dp are an item? Why would you not want to spend time with him to relax, when the kids are asleep?

nogreatexpectations · 22/12/2010 19:52

Pub, pints, pool????? Narcissistic and obsessing about pub life????

GraceAwayInAManger · 22/12/2010 19:53

That's hardly fair, BN - it's a summer picture and she's with DP. No need to get picky (TLES digs her own holes perfectly well Grin )

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 22/12/2010 19:53

those profile pics look fine to me

like those of a loving mother

TLES, I might criticise your flirtiness, but anything else is off limits
