DH plays his cards very close to his chest. We were friends for a long time before we got together, so even after he invited me over his house, I didn't know if it was supposed to be a date--although I was hoping like hell it was! As two dvorced folks, we took it very slowly and I had no idea how serious he was about me until he casually told me he was driving up to Mystic for dinner with his folks and asked me if I wanted to go. Once I got there, I found out from his mom that he'd never invited any other woman he'd dated since his divorce to meet them.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

don't know what I'm going to do with all of you
I'm pretty good at socializing and talking with people. I just have no concept of when people are flirting with me.
And anyway, I say all my snarky things out loud!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Healthy labor and birthing~ma!
I need to get dressed and go to work. Don't wanna. I love my work, but the doing stuff thing isn't what I want to do today. Also, I pretty much had chocolate for breakfast and now I feel oogey. Which is very very wrong.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I have no problems sending or receiving flirt-waves
This is certainly true. At least half of what I know about Buffista-flirtage, I learned from Hec.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
and even when the signals are understood and returned, it takes me approximately 3 weeks of HUGE ROMANTIC TENSION OMG to do anything about it, most times.
We were a while in happening. Tom had to wait out my aforementioned craptacular relationship and the immediate aftermath. So, in the meantime, we had lots and lots of time, within the 'ffista community and then smaller groups, and then just the two of us, to get to know each other pretty well without a lot of pressure. I met Tom for the first time in Feb. 2000 (the first S-ville Buffista gathering!) and we didn't get together till May 2002. I broke up with C. the day after New Year's Day 2002.
We did have some fun romantic tension probably about 3-4 weeks or so before we got together. Again, I never dreamed he felt anything for me like that, so in my mind, it was just fun, safe, flirting and banter.

And I'm like, PEOPLE HAVE LIVES. THEY DON'T NEED ME IN THEM.
That's where you are wrong, Mr. Cow. Lives are better with people in them.
See, I think a lot of the misanthropy on this board is really social inhibition gone sour.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm very good at flirting. The problem lies when someone is Flirting With Intent - I just assume that everyone flirts as naturally as breathing, so it doesn't mean anything. This has caused much amusement amongst my friends.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's stressful meeting people!
It's not so much stressful as I don't want to bother people.
