Huh. Flirting.
I just sent a rather flirty email to one of my profs.
I am shameless.
Do you ever flirt inappropriately? I'll bet you never do.
I have forgotten how, appropriate or otherwise.
Is heaven missing an angel? Cause you've got nice cans.
Hmm, it's been a while. I've actually become more shy about those kinds of things. I used to be an expert.
What a great feeling it was: my New Year's resolution will be to shamelessly flirt at least once a month.
So what day is good for you Bri? I could pencil you in like every third Wednesday or something? :blush:
My tag line is "hello, handsome." I have a 'midnight Meijer guy' who is just simply a really nice guy that I see when I go to the store after work. I admit, I always flirt with him....I would never do anything but it's fun to flirt and I think it makes him feel happy. Other than that, I'm sure I flirt, probably not real inappropriately...which come to think of it, now I'm disappointed in myself....I need to flirt more.
Excuse me, sir...do you happen to have the time?
Yes, it is...
Good, I've got the place.
Da dum dum

Wednesday is good!
Hmmmm. I hope he isn't ugly.
We'll check back when grades are posted.

-sighs- I flirt without realizing I do it. One of the points of contention between me and the ex. He claimed I was deliberately flirting with his co-workers right in front of him... and I never realized I was doing it.
don't try flirting with ME now....I'm married.
Legally, so am I. You're fortunate in that you're HAPPILY married.
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 just sent a rather flirty email to one of my profs.
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

With the subject line:
GONNA BANG SOME BARELY LEGAL TAIL TONIGHT WOOOHOOOOOO!!!1I 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.
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.
GONNA BANG SOME BARELY LEGAL TAIL TONIGHT WOOOHOOOOOO!!!1
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've gotten a handful of these since becoming a prof.
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:
Don't forget to vote, is flirting? See, this is why I never get it when people are flirting with me. Must be. Does not compute.

Yoohoo, puppykins, don't forget to vote sweetcheeks:moon:
Sorry, but this thread is cracking me up! :)
Unneccessary does not mean it's flirting. I do unneccessary things all the time. If you were trying to flirt, and "don't forget to vote"" came out instead, I am sorry.
"I think it's cute when you don't forget to vote", might raise an eyebrow.

I DID vote. I voted for smooth as hawest teach at skool. :D

well. it's the
way I email it. It's just....sexy is all. :D
Oh wait, did you say "don't forget to vote" as a caption, on your topless photo? I'm getting it...Nrlly. :)
I really like how you fill out a ballot. Really full. Do you like those ballots where they poke into the hole they want? You're the kind of guy who knows what hole you want, and you aren't afraid to poke it. Hard, over and over, so there's nothing left hanging. Mm, I hope you get what you hope for this election day!

BigV is flirting with me, look...I knew it! Thanks Bri!!!
http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?t=18623
Big V flirty with me, big time.:D He wants us all...look at him throwing his self at us like that. pshaw.
I haven't had anyone flirt with me since I left law enforcement. I think women stereotype me as the grouchy old sergeant that used to be a staple of the old war movies. Hmmm....come to think of it, they are probably right
well known fact that BigV would be a flirt if he weren't so besotted with his wifey.
uh...Ut? You came amazingly close to my exact words in that slutmail. Wow!
:) :) :) :D
Big Sarge, you liar. Pants on fiar.
cellar women, including ME, told you how hawt you look. we lovey the uniform!
Hmmm...so "all I said" wasn't "all you said" now was it Bri? ;)
Bri takes poetry classes. You know how in poetry, one thing is often a metaphor for something else? I'm a-guessing that "don't forget to vote" means "you can poke my chad anytime, big guy."
What would Plath say about this? Brute heart of a brute like you.
I'm "a-guessing" that she really isn't going to post what she really a-said. :)
Hey look, rich wants to know when a good time, to do it, is.

aw, shucks. I did just say "don't forget to vote."
I know. I'm a bummer.
Bri- Awww, shucks that's sweet.
Bummer. When you are giving me a juicy story to live vicariously through you with, can you make it less disappointing? I mean, c'mon. Can you lie at least a little?
aw, shucks. I did just say "don't forget to vote."
Uh, Bri?
You're doing it wrong.
Yeah, Bri, I don't think anyone would take that as flirting. That's casual conversation.
Comments about physical appearance, invitations to meet up outside of office hours in off-campus settings, sexual innuendo, those are the things that get forwarded.
I used to flirt a lot, but I don't anymore. At least I don't think so. I just don't have any interest in it anymore. I think I've become boring and dull.
Most of my major flirting was under the influence, and the internet is also a good place to flirt.
All I know, is this election evening is going to be more interesting if I get to replace the word "vote" with "screw". Or "screw me".
Don't worry Juniper, it's already working with thread titles. I don't need to drink to amuse myself. (although I do, drink) I can also make a game out of anything.
I don't really flirt inappropriately. I pretty much just say everything as inappropriately as I can, and it usually involves some sort of sexual come on or innuendo.
Perhaps I'd be more successful if I actually tried some subtle flirting?
When does friend go to flirt..?/
...invitations to meet up outside of office hours in off-campus settings...
HA!
HE invited
ME out for coffee and everyone here said I was making waaaaaay too much of it. Esp. our international pals. /Culture thing/

when friend's tongue is in your mouth? TMI?
Oh this is the prof that made your life hell when you were disabled, isn't it?

Huh. He's flirting back via email form!
You mean he said, "Thanks, I hope you remember to vote too?"
:yum:
Nope. He was very flirty. He wrote:
"I already done did vote at that them there polling place, Brianna.
See you tomorrow."
flirty? Right? He's an English guy, right? Get it? Or am I off again?
He's obviously smitten, tongue-tied, and a bit shy.

Subject: Brianna again
Colleagues,
Here is an example of what Brianna (formerly known as "cancer lady") has been sending to me (attached). This is the same woman who had such a negative impact on both my teaching, my emotional response, and on my professional standing here at Osulite University.
Clearly, she is semi-insane and only wants to impact my life in a dramatic way. Here I think she's trying to flirt with me (my department colleagues agree) and I just want you to be on notice that not only has this happened, but that it represents a further arc in her emotional reactions over the last year and a half that have had such huge repercussions for me, my teaching career and my family.
It is clear that her creative writing skills are above normal, and on that matter she should be quite proud, as I am in having instructed her. But you can see that this situation has not resolved itself. I have sent her a simple notice (also attached) thanking her for her help in "filling out my ballot", in which I merely explained that I understand the ballot process; but I suspect she only read it as an acknowledgment of her lurid suggestions, which is not exactly what I intended.
In every other way she's an outstanding woman and student. One lecturer in our department suggested that I take notice of the outstanding quality of her cans, but I don't see what food storage has to do with it. Please advise.

FOUL!
Ut has clearly hacked my .edu account!
*sobs quietly, awaits police action*
ps--nice osulite, there. Exactly right!
I like the idea of flirting with professors, them and their suits and intelligence, control in the lecture halls....ohhh....anyway, I just tell myself if they will do something with me they probably are with 20 other students. I find Brits come off rather flirty a lot...but maybe it's due to my personal fondness for them, too:blush:
Great email, UT. I especially love the blind courtesy copy. :)
*sigh* So yea....whatever. You were temporarily handicap with your condition, and he shut you down. I wouldn't call this flirting.
Whatever floats your boat.;)
Quite right UT, quite.
To: Dean of Students <deanstockwell@osulite.edu>
hahahahahahah. Thanks for that, it made my day.
@squid, a bit of 'flirt' is pretty normal in brit conversation I think. But, Bri, that didn't sound actively flirty to me at all.
I know. I'm giving up. on everything
No. Seriously down after tonight. Hate self. going to bed.
Oh honey...whyso?
Seriously, you are being too hard on yourself.
No.
thanks, though.
g'night. Kisses.
yeah, brits are more flirty in general, now I think about it. We're totally into double-entendres and americans are not. We even have a phrase in case you look like you don't get it ("as the actress said to the bishop"). here, you say it and spell it out immediately afterwards whether they show signs of getting it or not, and add "just kidding" to make sure there are no hurt feelings......or don't bother to say anything at all.
That is something i miss about the UK (have been giving serious thought to becoming American today)

*Smiles* that's a hell of a step. Do you think you'll do it?
Hmmmmmmmmm.
Something to think about while American dreaming then I guess. I've never thought we were flirty as a nation. Perhaps it takes the absence to make it noticeable.
I'd certainly miss double entendre. Thinking about it, we're just rude really aren't we? :) I was reading an American review of a British comedy* the other day and it said something like, "I wouldn't call this family viewing - parents will want to watch it first as it contains many sexual references unsuitable for children." I honestly can't remember what it was now, but it was something SO tame. I guess in this country we assume innuendo goes over children's heads, and when it doesn't, they know enough for it not to harm them!
* ETA - Only Fools and Horses!
lol Only Fools and Horses Christmas special was essential viewing for the nation's families for several years. Far from parents watching it first, three generations of a family would commonly sit to watch that together.
I was thinking about something similar the other day. I was going to post a bit about the new BBC kids' drama, Merlin. I have watched several episodes now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It occurred to me, that I would probably include a warning for American parents that british children's television contains a lot of violence. More specifically, the violence it shows will sometimes be fatal. This show is aired early saturday evening and in the last episode I watched (online, i am out of sync with the tv) the young Prince Arthur kills Sir Valiant with a sword through his gut. [*]
Now, I am working on the assumption that american kids shows wouldnt have fatal violence shown, but thats based on nothing more than my own conjecture. I'd be interested to hear an American perspective.
[*eta] violence is shown and is quite realistic, but blood is not shown and the actual killing stroke happens off camera, in this case as he is clasped in a hug; we see from the shouders up, but it is very clear what has happened.
In general, parents here would be much more accepting of the violence than the sexual innuendo. We do have fatal violence, but it depends very heavily on the context. Accidents, and "bad guys" getting killed is much more acceptable than a good guy dying, or worse, a moral quandary in which a good guy kills someone else who might or might not actually be a bad guy. Conflicted protagonists, or antagonists who have somewhat understandable motives, are not common at all in kids' shows.
Yes, what Clod said.
Also, in my experience, it seems most parent's objections to sex, innuendo, and language, is having to deal with the embarrassment of their their child getting in trouble for repeating stuff at school.
My sister was pulled aside at drop off one morning because her son had repeated a line from the Simpsons.... something about a porn store. He was admonished for saying it so he then asked what porn was. The "teacher" (a woman with 5 children, some of them college aged) told him it was a bad thing that naughty people do to each other.
There's no men in here to flirt with. This thread sucks. ;)
I was told that there would be flirting in here?
No. Flirting is down the hall. This is ignoring.
My mistake. I always get those two mixed up. :)

That's interesting. Thankyou. We tend to go for conflicted protagonists in our tv generally, and that applies to children's tv too. Doctor Who is a classic example. It is written with eight year olds in mind and has a hero who commits genocide and then has to deal with that emotional legacy. Interesting that this wouldnt apply in kids tv over there, given that anti-heroes and conflicted heroes seem such a staple of American adult tv.
*Smiles* that's a hell of a step. Do you think you'll do it?
most likely/ main reasons being
(1) can't vote
(2) kids can do it at the same time. if we don't they have to wait til they're 18 and maybe miss out of various uni scholarships etc.
main con: cost. very expensive.
is not a huge huge step -you don't lose british citizenship, you become dual.
British comedy is often referred to as "potty humor"
Hmmmmmmmmm.

My son, at age 3, once did a Nazi salute and said "Heil Hitler" while we were getting out of the car. He saw it in The Sound of Music. "Hey, what's your problem, Dallas, why would you let your kid watch shit like The Sound of Music?" We felt we had to warn the daycare so they'd no what was going on if he did it at school. I could just imagine the whole room of 3 yos saying "Heil Hitler."
Some years later, in first grade, he informed his teacher that Martin Scorsese is the greatest director of all time. That one, he got from Animaniacs. ("Yeah," I told her, "we played Raging Bull and Taxi Driver for him last weekend.")
I remember watching Kill Bill with my brother and my 10 year old niece. She loved it.
Oh did you watch shogun assassin next?:)

Bri,
You came off originally with the idea you were inapropriatly flirting by txt. Smooth is doing the right thing, yes even if it's don't forget to vote. There is a line between the profs and the students, I think the profs should be seen to be not even close to the line.
You go Smooth.
Now, if you are being really, really sarchastic....then well, I didn't get it. Ha, ha. (courtesy laff)
Speaking of flirting in general.Before you made this thread I was thinking to myself that flirting is a lost art form.
I was even wishing I knew how to flirt. It would be something to amuse myself with. It's much more classy than a bold. "let's do it" with my eyes. At my age I opt for the sunglasses. If I could flirt I could still have a way to engage.
bri, I would be the last person to look down on you.
thanks, sky. You are a sweet one :)
Actually, a little flirting is what keeps life interesting. I don't think they can arrest you just yet for it (she bop, she bop...)
OK, confession: I flirted a little with my history prof's TA.

If things in the US are anything like here, TAs are horribly underpaid and do all the drudge work of marking etc. Flirtatious (ex-)students make up 30% of the value of his package. Ladies, be generous. Every little helps.
