I've heard of sniffing glue, but sniffing leather?? o_O?

[greyloch]

Just kidding. I do the same thing whenever I go by a Wilson's Leather store.

However, I do not go around sniffing the leather skirts. Well, at least not in public.

I, too, LOVE the smell of leather, and Wilson's never disappoints.

BUT, you should try sniffing leather skirts - one Hell of an ice breaker there.

I started dating a girl because of her sniffing my leather.

I rode from Buffalo up to Toronto and then onto to Montreal on a hot late may day a few years ago. While I was waiting to check into the hotel; I was joking to one of my friends that I was going to have to PEEL myself out of my chaps.

Hot lil gothling came up, squatted down and sniffed my inner thigh from just above knee to just below crotch.

How could I NOT date her after a greeting like that?

Let's hear it for subtlety.

[DrT]

Well to her credit she at least makes her intentions clear from the start.

Sometimes it's good to shed the subtelty and just go down for a bit a crotch/leather wiffin'


Lord, I apologize.... be with the pigmies in new guinea

I hate when sarcasm doesn't translate online.

I need to get me a leather Utlikilt.

[DrT]

I did understand it was sarcasm, that don't mean I can't say anything about it

utilikilts are a bit outta my range, unfortunately

Let's hear it for subtlety.

I don't do subtlety. I am a shameless and massive flirt. I flirt with the same freedom as another may have with saying hello. I flirt with lesbians. I flirt with gay men. I flirt with trolls. I'm not TRYING to get in peoples knickers. I just like flirting.

The downside to that is that I COMPLETELY miss "subtle" clues when a girl tries to flirt with me. I see it as her simply being friendly. I'm dense that way.

So I LOVE when a lovely makes her intentions clear.

Ditto for me on these parts.

I've seen my wife get really steamed at some waitress or other woman and I've had no idea why. Her response, "You had no idea she was flirting with you did you?"
Me, "I just thought she was nice."
Her *headdesk*

On the flip side, I hate it when people interpret acting flirtatious as serious romantic interest. A few years back there was a crush meme on LJ where you could tick the boxes of the names of friends you had a crush on, either present or past. It would then give those people a number for how many people either had or have a crush on them. I thought it was cute, checked off a whole bunch of names to boost scores I thought needed boosting. To me, a crush is being nominally interested in someone, as in you find them attractive in some way, but aren't necessarily after anything beyond friendship. Well, apparently the quiz designer fell on hard times and offered to sell the names of the people who were interested in you. It didn't last long, but one of the people I checked off managed to get his list. And threw the results in my face. I laughed at him for waisting his money on a Livejournal meme. I didn't explain that I so seriously would NOT get involved with him because he's a bit too self-absorbed for my taste.

There are women that do that?????????

I have yet to see one of those!

I need to get out more.

[Nimue]

Many of us tend to assume the guy isn't interested until he proves otherwise. Or at least those I know. We figure better to be subtle and try to find out that way than make fools of ourselves. Only problem is guys are notoriously oblivious, to the point where you'd have to be as subtle as a sledgehammer to the noggin to get through to them, and we tend to read the lack of notice as disinterest. So there's a peek into the female psyche for you. Not to be confused with the female Psyche, I wouldn't want to fight Cupid for her to show you that.

Hence we have half of the problem with the social world today. Men don't act interested because they have either had too many rejection in the past, or (like women) don't want to look like a fool, or more often both. As for myself, I'm honest and forthright in my intentions, which causes flirtations to flow. It would be nice to some how know when that flirtation is just a game, and when it's something more. These are factors that add to our obliviousness (is that a word? It is now!). Call me crazy, but it just seems like it would be so much easier if we were just all honest. Some say that might not be as fun, but if you can get past all of this BS, then I see the results as being much more fun.

Just my two cents.

[Nimue]

Oh, certainly, but flirting isn't always just a game or prelude to something more serious. Sometimes it's just being friendly, as Jak noted. I tend to prefer being friends with someone before even considering something more. Of course, I even attempted to dissuade the current SO from his desired course of action after a friendship phase. So I guess in my case it might take someone just as stubborn as me and with a good dose of self-esteem to recognize that we could be good together. I think in the end it's all individual, I hate using the phrase "meant to be," but if two people are compatible and have similar interests in each other, things usually have ways of sorting themselves out. Being honest is definitely a big step in the right direction for any relationship.
