Flirting is an important component of social behavior and although it can easily be misinterpreted, it need not be so if you select your ‘victims’ carefully and if you follow the six primary rules about flirting.

I love flirting and openly admit it in my profile. Everybody knows me as a flirt and I have rarely picked up problems because of it.

Rule 1
Do not flirt with complete strangers.
Flirting with complete strangers is inviting trouble. While I don’t flirt with strangers, I will certainly pay a strange woman a compliment if it is deserved, whereas in flirting, I grossly exaggerate with the compliments. I will flirt with the wives or girlfriends of my friends and relatives whenever the opportunity presents itself. I even flirt with my grandson’s girlfriend.

Rule 2
Do not touch the person that you are flirting with.
You flirt with the mouth and the eyes. You don’t need arms and hands to flirt. When you touch the person, it becomes personal and it can easily be misinterpreted. Don’t hug, don’t hold hands, and don’t kiss, not even her hand. If the person you’re flirting with start touching you, move away, and if it continues, stop flirting with him/her.

Rule 3
Do not flirt with somebody if you don’t know his/her partner well.
If your friend has a new lover, it is ok to flirt, even if you were just introduced. The quicker they get used to you, the better. The bottom line is, don’t flirt if the partner does not like you.

Rule 4
If your attentions are not welcome, stop it.
Not everybody enjoys flirting and look out for them. Don’t antagonize people. If the person or his/her lover does not enjoy your attentions, stop it right there and then or you may spoil what would have been a great party.

Rule 5
Only flirt on parties or other gathering where there are many people around.
Don’t flirt with your friend’s partner if you are only two or three couples together. If you are in a public place( like a steakhouse) and there are women in the company, don’t flirt with the staff; even if you don’t have a partner with you.

Rule 6
Keep it above board.
Flirt only if there are other people in the company. Do not flirt if you happen to meet alone on the verandah or while you’re dancing. Do not single somebody out to flirt with. If you want to flirt, flirt with every body.

So there you are. Six simple rules and if you follow them, you will never get problems about flirting. Flirting is a pleasure and a great icebreaker at parties and gatherings. People will see you as a big sport and it will often see you invited again and again.

But flirting has a serious down part if you have a real interest in a somebody. He or she will not take your attentions seriously but if you scale your flirting a bit down towards that person and talk some sense to him or her, your message will get through. If you want to know which girl I fancy at a party, just find the girl I flirt with the least.


I wish you all a great weekend and don’t flirt too much.

I done sent a e-mail to this attractive female MD from London UK; she's single and I have a interest in her.

A certain amount of darkness
Searching for some light
In a heart so confused
Mouth so dry
Eyes swollen
And dreams shattered

A certain amount of darkness
Taken aback far and wide
Laughing on an open wound,
Truth hides away
This most beautiful part of day
Brightly wounded heart

A certain amount of darkness
Hands so tied
Crying in echoes
Of wishes so true, so painful, so alive
Truly hurting

A certain amount of darkness
We both kiss onto
Dream of dreams
We both die into

Slowly hurting

Equally
Dying

Sure, with mustaches, beards, and various bling, we men certainly have our share of facial decorations. And in some cultures, men painting their faces, notably as part of war dress, is hardly uncommon. But none of this has become a multi BILLION industry world wide, as with cosmetics for women, in many cultures. A major difference between the sexes, No?

It is interesting, I will say.

I have heard some stories lately and it has made me think.

The title of the blog is "problem...as a single attractive man" This problem I speak of does not apply to single attractive women.

Now, let's make some unobvious statements here. When men and women find attractive in the opposite sex is a bit different. Men are visual, and so are women. So, when I say a single attractive man, I men a man...he don't have to be a super model, but must somewhat be pleasing to the eye...and of course, women value a man's personality as well. So, this man must be accepted by the community he is in.

Okay, here is the story.

A man gets out of a long term relationship, by his choice. He is out of society for 10+ years when he was in a relationship. He does not think anything about himself other than he needs to get his new life on track and start living it.

It is not long, he decides he main form of socializing in a small community will be at the bars. (not the best place..yes...I agree) But, he starts there. He starts going to the bar, not drinking a lot...he is not a big drinker...but just to get his mind off of things and start getting in touch with some old friends and making new friends along the way. This man is baffled one day. A man comes up to him and this man is begging him..."please don't take my wife, she is all I have." The newly single man looks at him in the most confusing way and say, no problem...no need to worry, I have no intention on doing anything like that.

This newly single man is not really looking for a new relationship. He is still trying to figure out where he wants to be in that realm of his life. For now, he is perfectly fine being single. Not to mention, he knows how it is when somebody cheats with a man's woman...and he would not want to bring that into anyone's life.

Fast forward to last night. This single man, who has been single for some time now is out on the town and out of nowhere, another man comes up behind him...a friend of his (so he thought) and starts to choke him. I was told there was some alcohol involved, so this stuff does happen...it is a bar. So the single man sitting down gets up and throws the man choking him off of him. The single man keeps proclaiming, what is going on here? I did not know there was anything between us. This went on for about a minute or so until the so-called friend's wife came over. She said something and that seemed to have got the aggressive man even more aggressive toward the single man. Then the single man put 2+2 together. Is she the reason for what just happen? The aggressive man starts stating...she is mine, we are married. The single man...all he could say, being confused and all was, "I am happy for you two."

All of that came out of nowhere...the single man told me he was totally unaware of him even being behind him.

So...the problem with single attractive men.

Can jealous men become wrongfully violent toward them?

From the story I heard, I would say yes. It is something that a man will need to become mindful of.

My name is Christopher Foss and I am looking for an honest, caring, respectful, loving, kind, supportive, trustworthy relationship that could turn into marriage. I am 32 years old and I live in Lewiston, ME and was born in Sanford, ME. I have 3 siblings which 1 sibling I currently live with.

(A caveman love story) (fun only)

It was full moon and Sallhhg knew there had to be more to life than the village and picking a good hunter to cook and clean for. She was standing staring at the moon and then

..............................................BAM

For him, it was love at first sight. He clubbed her so gently she saw rainbows, not stars, and he carried her to his cave instead of dragging her by her hair - what a GENT!

It was love for her too, when the rainbows cleared away she knew it the minute she saw the wealth of furs he had heaped in the sleeping corner. Not stiff sticky ones still spiky with blood, either. Properly cured, soft, warm, hardly smelling at all . . .

The moon was full again when he told her she’d have to go back to the village.

“But Hauggh! We do zooby zooms every night, sometime morning! This love!”

“Sallhhg” he said patiently “is been nice, you good good for zooby zooms. But is new moon now. You go.”

“Why?”

“No blood. That show you done, bun in oven, cooking. That mean soon no more zooby zooms, no more happy, nag nag nag. No. Been there. Done that. I make best buns, you lucky girl, but now me must find more ovens, make more buns.”

“But Hauggh! I love!”

So then he sat her down and he patiently explained the whole meaning of life

“World is bakery. Job of young woman is oven, to make buns. Me, Hauggh, master baker. You very good zooby zooms, so you had one whole moon of master baker. If you have bun, you lucky woman. If you not have bun, you defective. If you have very good bun, maybe I bring you back here next year, make more buns? Now go to village - and while you wait for bun, make me a fur for cave, eh? Nice soft one, no smell.”

(aren't we glad we live in modern times?)

Seriously, why describe yourself as humble? Does it have a slang meaning I'm missing (like wicked sick = WOW amazing)

because it is not a sexy word. To me it says hello, may I be your doormat?

Official definition -
1. having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance.
"I felt very humble when meeting her"
synonyms: meek, deferential, respectful, submissive, self-effacing, unassertive, unpresuming;
2. of low social, administrative, or political rank.
"she came from a humble, unprivileged background"
synonyms: low-ranking, low, lowly, lower-class, plebeian, proletarian, working-class, undistinguished, poor, mean, ignoble, of low birth, low-born, of low rank;

So when a guy describes himself as humble, whoa, haud me back. NOT.

I'm obviously missing something. If it now means full of fun, rampant libido, and a real guy's kinda guy, I have been blocking a lot of exciting men lately.

how soon after messaging someone online is appropriate to exchange phone numbers or any other contact information?

i know its up to the individuals but just asking to get some perspective here.

Situations led myself into a non-dating, no relationship involvement, for over 16 years. During that time, I raised my children totally on my own. No help from anyone or any type of resourses but my own. It had its ups and downs, but I survived and with that, I became strong and independent. When I mention this, men are intrigued and are all over it stating that this is something they want in a woman. Yet, once they become to know me, and realize I speak the truth of who I am, they run. What the heck? What is it about men, that gets them excited and has them telling me that they have longed for such a woman, but then once realizing it is true, they get scared and run away? I admit, that I have many sides to my personality that is quite versitile. I am straight up, forward and honest, serious when the time calls for such, yet playful, with some sarcasm too. It seems that only those that give me the time to come to know me either really like me, and stick around for at least the friendship, or they run with their tails between their legs. I am seriously getting tired of this dating scene and am finding that seclusion would most likely be a better choice for me. Truthfully, that wouldn't be my preferred choice, yet on the other hand, I wouldn't have to deal with these men who seem threatened by my strong personality.
I also believe, that once I say something that is not of their approval, they seem to become defensive, get a bit angry with what I have said, and shut everything off. Many times, I have found myself replying to something they have said, in the same manner they have stated, and what they have said is okay, but when I say it, all he*l busts loose.
I am very frustrated with how so many look at women and want them to be who they want them to be, and not who the woman is. I will not change who I am, I will be happy to respect their wishes, be more aware of what they ask of me, and willing to compromise, but, I am who I am, just as much as they are who they are. They are always stating they want an honest upfront, independent woman in their lives, yet when they realize you are truly one of those woman, they can not handle it. Why?

So ready to call it quits.
