1. Guys say things like this a lot. "If you didn't already have a bf," "if you were a little older," "if you weren't dating my friend," etc, etc. It doesn't mean anything, it's just a comment. Unless it is accompanied by flirtation, which can be read easily by body language, eye contact, etc, it's NOT a come on. It's just a statement. 2. Even when people flirt, THAT doesn't always mean anything. A lot of times people flirt just for fun, that's why it's called "flirtation" instead of "contract of intent." You take things way too seriously and read way too much into sh*t. 3. You are so f**king condescending. To pretend to know what a situation is based purely on one sentence when you have no real knowledge. Any girl past the age of 14 who isn't completely naive can read a guy. If a girl says "he wasn't hitting on me" then he wasn't. How f**king condescending to presume to know better than a person who is actually in the situation simply because you have a penis and therefore know exactly what all other penis-owners are like. 4. I'm a very good judge of character. Which is why I don't like you. This is an (moderately) interesting conversation Ms Aphid and I'm fairly certain I can handle it like an adult. Do I have your permission to respond to your comments (which you've directed towards me)? Will you handle it like an adult? *straight-face*

You take things way too seriously and read way too much into sh*t. I can't imagine anybody having fun flirting with someone that they have no degree of interest in. If not, you're just asking for a headache. Well it's hard to believe I know but there are many people who don't take things seriously. Like seriously.

What can I say, I just find it hard to believe. Maybe you're a saint. Although I imagine that he'd take the flirting seriously and wind up getting his poor little heart broken =/

Poor computer cardboard box guy =(
Anyway, maybe it's just because I'm a bit anti-social, but I just don't see where the fun is if there's nothing at stake. I mean, if anything, I get accused of not taking things seriously enough. Say that I found you to be absolutely repugnant, but we were flirting anyway. What's to stop me from just killing 2 birds with one stone and flirting with somebody better?

Come again? Stakes? This is why men should be upholstered on stakes.
Preferably with green jello and then flung at with the shells of walnuts. Smack on a funnel squarely on the center of the face. I love you too, Pinocchio. ;D
Food fight!!! nobody touch my carrot cake.

Mr Wolf: While I'm sure you're a nice guy and you mean well I do disagree with you and am not sure how you were hoping to help the situation. Let's say, hypothetically, that I've been walking the low-road all along should I not see the error of my ways and try to bring the conversation back on more civil terms? It is never too late, and it is always right, to 'take the high-road'. Fair enough? - If you had been privy to all of our conversations both public and private perhaps you'd be better capable to make a fair judgment. The fact of the matter is I'm joking and she's well aware of it. Mr Evil Long: I don't think I'm cut out for this evil racket.. I need your help and inspiration, or perhaps you could just take over the low-road for me.

Oh, well sorry to interupt then. I was just trying to ref. and it's good sportsmanship to pay a toll of an initial apology while switching from the low road to the high road.

The guy was drunk enough to be slurring his speech. Drunk guys aren't very subtle so I'm pretty sure I would've noticed if he was trying to hit on me. I think he was just appreciative of the fact that I was prepared to listen and try and understand him and perhaps he wished he had a girlfriend who was like that. I don't think he meant that I was hot and he wanted a shag.

Mr Wolf: I see where you're coming from and I agree. But I've apologized multiple times to Ms Aphid and she knows exactly where I'm coming from. Would it surprise you that she hadn't apologized once to me?
VLR: As Ms Aphid has kindly pointed out, I wasn't there so naturally this is entirely speculation. But to me that's what this forum is about: generalization and speculation. So I'll just say that the very fact that he was drunk and incapable of any subtlety is the very reason I would tend to take his words at face value. His words at face value suggest that he had impure thoughts, that's why he brought up cheating. Heart to heart chats with a good listener doesn't qualify as cheating in my book. On top of this apparently your boyfriend felt the need to step in so I factored that into my equation as well.
The only reason I felt compelled to put my word in here at all is because you seemed reluctant to believe that a guy could be interested in you because he thought you were attractive, and my point was: don't be ridiculous, you are and it's most likely he thought so. Sorry, if you too were of the opinion that my thoughts were uncalled for.
