That's a huge motivation to stay married, no need to flirt. I'd have to re-learn everything. Is there a class you can take?

I've heard Berkeley offers a class in Porn... not quite the same thing, but if they'll teach that, maybe they will teach flirting?

I've gotten a handful of these since becoming a prof. I have a standing policy - as soon as they hit my inbox, they get forwarded to my wife, my dean, and my representative on the Professional Affairs Review Board.

There are some crazy-ass nutters floating around any university, and there's no way in hell I'm going to have my academic career hijacked by some undergrad desperate for attention.

No such thing as harmless flirting when it's between a prof and a student.

Smoothmoniker says it's hammer-time

I flint inappropriately.
With the subject line: GONNA BANG SOME BARELY LEGAL TAIL TONIGHT WOOOHOOOOOO!!!1

I have done in the past.

And in fact I found myself flirting at work just the other day - there's a really quiet but very sweet guy. They just seem to bring it out in me...

I wouldn't call it inappropriate, but it's just me flexing my flirting muscles, so it's not really standard flirting either.

I think its pretty cute when Flint flirts... I know he would never actually do anything so inappropriate or not it is purely innocent. He is just silly

I love it when girls flirt with him... its nice to know you have something that someone else wants... besides... he's cute... I know it... he's totally a catch!

I didn't even flirt when I was single. Just dumb. I was asked out by a guy I liked once, and didn't even know it. I figured it out later. lol! Then I was so mad at myself...In retrospect, I now know that that guy sucks, but then I had a crush and was devastated when I finally figured out what in the hell he was talking about. I am an idiot.

People are flirting and I have no idea what they are doing, I just get confused.

One guy was honest and said he liked me for years once, and the whole time I thought this guy was giving me the stink eye, because he hated my guts. I have social autism or something. I can't read the, I want you so bad rfn, facial expression. I just don't read it. I just think that people hate me and write them off. I often wonder how often this happens.

Since I am an old bag, I doubt it still happens much.

Except that lonely dude asking about you in the coffee shop.

That's natural. He's on iggy. That's actually a talent I do have, ignoring people with putting no energy into it whatsoever. I just don't care. He said something else the other day, and he's the only person that cares about it. I don't even remember what it was. I am just at the point that he's wasting his time if he is talking in my direction. I'm busy.

Well, professors have nice large desks for a reason.

I think I'm reasonably cute for a 40 year old mom. But I haven't been hit on for a long time. Maybe it's like Cicero said, I just don't pick up on it anymore, my radar isn't on. Or maybe I'm putting out an "I'm taken" vibe. Still might be nice once in a while. <pout>

I agree with your approach but More Information is needed. Are they direct? Do they say "I do like looking at your ass when you're drawing something on the whiteboard." or do they say "I would totally sux0rs you off for an A in this class. The prereq took a handjob but I figure this class is a bit more important to my major."

hells bells, people! this is what I sent (besides the stuff about class IE responding to HIS email) "don't forget to vote!"


ok, smoothmoniker. That would get forwarded to the dean, et al? If so, you think waaaaaay too much of yourself.

You shameless hussy! :lol:
