just wondering really - im madly in love with dp - getting married next year - our relationship is great but lately, I have become a bit of a flirt with other men - completely harmless - I would never dream of taking it any further - but is this normal? do you all do it?

Anywhere not anyway

No, you've got to go a little way with it. You've got to go as far as the newsagents or the poncy juice bar.

UnquietDad · 16/06/2007 23:44

How VERY odd. I posted on here at about 21:30 and now it's gone.

What I said was there is Pure Flirting and Applied Flirting, and I think for most people Pure Flirting is OK.

ahundredtimes · 16/06/2007 23:46

So it has. Perhaps you posted it on another thread? A wildly unsuitable thread I hope.

ahundredtimes · 16/06/2007 23:46

There will be complaints.

UnquietDad · 16/06/2007 23:47

Did you see it, 100times? Or did I just go to preview and not actually send it, perhaps?...

ahundredtimes · 16/06/2007 23:49

I don't remember seeing it, sorry, but I'm a bit scatty about reading and remembering what people have said.

I tell you what though, we've spent 2 hours discussing what you perfectly encapsulated in one sentence. Perhaps it was thought to be a bit too good, and they wanted to leave us to flap and stew on this one for longer.

UQD - what if one were to stray into applied flirting without even realising it?

UnquietDad · 16/06/2007 23:51

Then one would probably need the services of the lovely Tracey Cox. I agree, though, difficult to toe that line.

Aitch · 16/06/2007 23:52

nah, you didn't post it UQD. i'd have noticed. because i'm waiting for you to Eat Your Hat re The Mas-terrrrr.

UnquietDad · 16/06/2007 23:53

I did say I thought RTD didn't like him! And I was right that he wasn't QUITE him... at first...

Aitch · 16/06/2007 23:55

truthfully now, dh is the one who benefits if i've had a good evening of flirtation. it's nice to flit about a bit at parties. and we do actually flirt with each other, of course.

Aitch · 16/06/2007 23:57

i was sure you said that JS wouldn't be playing the master...

ElenorRigby · 16/06/2007 23:57

Nope I don't flirt

Aitch · 16/06/2007 23:58

not even a little?

ahundredtimes · 16/06/2007 23:59

Not even with women or newsagents?

gibberish · 16/06/2007 23:59

Yeah I do. It makes work bearable.

gibberish · 17/06/2007 00:00

But not with women or newsagents, just to clarify. However if the newsagent happened to be James Nesbitt I probably would.

Aitch · 17/06/2007 00:01

lol about the newsagents, btw. why do we do that? is it the fact that a tinkly bell rings whenever you see them?

ElenorRigby · 17/06/2007 00:01

Nope

Aitch · 17/06/2007 00:02

oh no thanks re J Nesbitt. too obvious. he'd growl at you in what he'd think was a sexlicious manner.

Aitch · 17/06/2007 00:03

why not, elenorigby?

gibberish · 17/06/2007 00:03

T'would be truly sexilicious to me... I'd be growling back!

Aitch · 17/06/2007 00:04

me and dh would be giggling at you in the corner.

gibberish · 17/06/2007 00:12

lol why is your dh the newsagent?? Or are YOU the newsagent????
