Tinkerbelle 5 #1 February 18, 2004 Say, hows about opening another fresh can of worms and discuss how you guys feel and what you would do if and when some scantily clad or otherwise very overtly friendly and flirtacious girl/boy hit on and persistantly played with or pursued/sought out your guy/girl/significant other on the DZ? That ought to be a very lively subject to debate/discuss! This happens all too aften as we all know, but few may be willing to admit, since it is such a sensitive issue. I don't know what would be an appropriate response. I think we could all benefit from some input on how to best manage this delicate interpersonal situation. Ding! Round 4! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bobsled92 0 #2 February 18, 2004 Well, The ONLY person I would flirt with at our DZ (but, I don't) is a 42 yr old(single & curvy) woman how overtly flirts with a52 yr old guy who's 40 old wife (Veluptous and hot) is much hotter and seems to NOT care (?3-ways?) *POPs meet showed me some strange behviour in the group. It will be awhile before I'm old enough to be in POPs but, maybe folks let loose more then I'm staying out in the cold there. I know I can get burned from a distance It depends how OPEN you are and how comfortable with YOURSELF you are as far as reacting. If someone I'm with, gives in to overtures then I may NOT want to "keep" them. Why waste MY time._______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites metalslug 36 #3 February 18, 2004 To quote from a popular movie: "Are you going to tell me to stay away from your girl ?" "Well, if I had to do that then she wouldn't be my girl." I think it's usualy best to discuss the problem with the 'significant other', but to let him/her handle it themselves unless they specificaly asked/agreed that you intercede. Either the S.O. is happy in their relationship with you or not. The flirting stranger, or someone else like them, will either succeed or fail based on that factor alone. It's just a matter of time.
