Oh, poor lamb!

Well, don't look to me. I'm a wallflower.

Oh don't fret. I have my CFM 'girlie' alt for that kind of thing IF I feel like dancing! 😁 She'll get more IM's asking to dance then she gets group notices for the cheap sales at weekends!

Is physical attraction necessarily the same thing as sexual attraction?

I can certainly imagine wanting to dance with a very attractive person, but that doesn't necessarily imply that I'm interested in sex. Flirting, of course, is different, but then flirting is frequently a kind of "safe" way of expressing attraction or even desire. I flirt all the time, but I'm not looking for sex.

In my opinion, you can't have one without the other. There may be varying scales of WHY you may be attracted to someone. I believe that, contrary to popular belief, everyone judges a book by it's cover and all 'attraction' has it's roots in whether or not we'd like to sleep with that person after everything else is out of the way. We may never do it, we may just have a dance, a few drinks and get a taxi home, but unless our brains decide "yeah...I'd jump that!", consciously or subconsciously....we don't make the move/respond well!

The problems don't start with why you may be flirting, they start with how the other person translates it! Depending on the people involved and how well they may know each other or not, the chance of an awkward time is always on the horizon! IMO.

Perhaps not during first impressions, but some of the men who have been in my life over the years who, when I first met them, did nothing for me physically but then as I got to know them - BAM - they turned into the sexiest creatures ever in my eyes.

Yep, that is indeed always a concern. It's a delicate balance.

Mostly I only flirt with men I know, and who know me well enough to understand how to read it. Flirting with someone I've just met -- at least, more heavy-duty flirting (batting one's eyelashes in a becoming fashion is always allowed) -- is definitely much more dangerous.

I am exceptionally weird and wouldn't have it any other way. 

Alas, my dance card is full. I'm also one of the weird ones who sees a dance as a prelude to naughty times, and my naughty times are reserved for one particular fella these days. 

But thank you for asking!

I've had pretty good luck flirting... with everybody.

That should surprise no one, I run an institute to advance the practice.

My first husband was the opposite.  Physically he was, well, impressive.  Emotionally he was just not there.  He also devolved from the good time man to a raging alcoholic.  But that's all another story.

With my 2nd husband (will be 30 years in June) I have had more people tell me they didn't get us as a couple until they really got to know Jax.  Our senses of humor play off of each other so well.  He is no chod or anything like that but he is just not the pretty boy I was usually attracted to when I was young and stupid.  And I wouldn't trade him for anyone else.

Doesn't all this reprehensible behaviour also risk getting you banned from the feminists guild?....Shocking!

lol cuz feminists don't flirt?

Trust me when I tell you that there is nothing at all wrong with the feminist libido.

(On the other hand, wanting to be asked to dance would definitely earn me demerit points, if anyone knew. But you're not going to tell, are you?)

One of my most successful flirting experiences involved recounting the "wibble" scene from Blackadder. I know what boys like.

Does that actually work on any non-Brit's?  😆
