What do you prefer?
Posted : 28 Oct, 2009 08:37 PM

Okay, I'm divorced and have a son who lives with me full time which leaves little time for dating. I can flirt like crazy if I'm not interesed in the person, but the moment I really like someone...different story (not sure why). What would be an ideal way for a guy to ask you out or ask for your number without being Rico Suave or a bit cheesy? Thanks in advance for your answers and may God bless each of you abundantly!

Flirting would be a HUGE turn off for me. It does not seem genuine.I just want someone to be real. Flirting also makes me anxious because it seems immature.



HOw about: I find you very interesting and Id like to know more?



Or: I've enjoyed talking to you and getting to know you better. Are you interested in meeting and spending more time together.



When a guy flirts with me I think he is interested physically. WHen a guy approaches me with an intention of getting to now me better, I interpret that as he is interested in ME.



Of course, we all have different definitions of flirting.



Guys--just be real and honest.

I'll third that! It's difficult with online dating to begin with. I think the best approach in this setting is to just say, "Hey - do you want to get together sometime just as friends? No pressure?" To me, that takes away a lot of the nervousness of meeting for the first time. Plus, if the person turns out to be incredibly WEIRD (see worst dates ever post, lol), it's just a friendly meeting and not a "first date."

Ladies I disagree.Flirting can be fun when you are single. It have in the past told funny stories ans teased ladies.They know my jokes and they are never vulgar.I have been told that I am funny br women.When someone gives me a rough time thoses girls I tease have been the 1st ones to stand up for me.

No disrespect, but we were asked as women what we prefer and he wants to know what women prefer.

Ok, guys, hope you don't choke on this one :ROFL: You can chew on this one and either spit it out or digest it. It all depends on what you're looking for... do you want a Godly woman or not? Just remember that is God's daughter you are flirting with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not made of stone, I LOVE to flirt. But, there is a time and place for everything and I'm saving my flirts for my fiance/husband :hearts:



Here is a quote from a 'male' married friend adding his view:



"Flirting is the perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire." Its interesting when you think how easily people in this society commit adultery - its as though flirting has become a socially and spiritually acceptable form of adultery.

To me, as long as flirting is done in a non-sensual way (although I guess there could be an argument made that all flirting is sensual to at least some extent), there is no harm in it. How else would a guy know a girl was interested in him (or vice versa)? It seems to me that we were made to flirt, and it's OK to do so. Now, it is NOT OK for a married person to flirt with someone other than his/her spouse. And I honestly don't like it when I'm with a friend (usually a girl) who flirts with every male she sees...she's not interested in them, so why flirt? I don't flirt very often, but I do try if I'm interested in someone.



But to answer the original question, I think that it's cute when a guy flirts with me. However, if he were going to seriously ask me for a phone number or ask me on a date, I'd want to KNOW that he wasn't joking. Perhaps just a simple request, with no flowery wording, would be best.

dear tabatha, please forgive dg as he meant no harm here.

he was just telling folks what the women he has flirted with have told him and that they are the first to take up for him..therefore he is giving a womans opinion in whats hes been told by them and shown by them..



i dont know if youve noticed but women and men both give their points of view on any forum heading under any post if they feel they have something of value to add to the discussion.



i hope you understand that he meant no harm..

thanks ole cattle

Absolutely I took it with no harm. The unfortunate thing about e-mail is lack of tone. I was trying to be funny as well as make a point.:nahnah:



I would never mean any harm. And I love a good debate!!!With all points of view!!!
