(AKA: Mark E. Lodge, USA)
In my first essay on flirting in Second Life ® ( HOW TO FLIRT, BY MARCO, PART 1) I listed some of the 16 basic types of flirting. There are more, but these are the basics:
Breaking-the-Ice Flirting
"Innocent" or "ingenue" Flirting
Outrageous BS Flirting *wink
Friendly Banter Flirting
Funny-Pun Flirting
Purty Flirting
Sexy Flirting
Chatty Flirting
Funny Flirting
Get-to-know-you flirting
Get-to-bed-you flirting
Vampire Flirting
Dirty Flirting
The-Whole-Room Flirting
Virgin Flirting
Profile/Tag Flirting
In today's Part 4, I wish to discuss some of these and give you examples. Some of my best flirting ever occur in these.
Now these first types of flirting belong to a class of flirting called, "First Base Flirting". Listen-up grasshoppers....for by First Base I do NOT mean what you think....close, but not quite. Noo I don't mean Kissing, I mean "getting the girl to LAUGH WITH YOU!
Laughing With you is truly the most fundamental goal of flirting. If she laughs AT you, you are sunk. Is she slaps you or calls for Security, you have totally flunked out. So today, the first goal is to get her to smile and laugh, WITH you.
My first tactic is called "Breaking the ice flirting", used when meeting someone for the first time; or meeting someone I don't know very well. I try to stay light and breezy, and just let my flirts take off from something the person said..for example:
I met CA for the first time at Quarters. She was in Neko mode, with purple hair, and was dancing to Purple Rain. Grasshoppers, please remember the most fundamental rule of flirting...you will have success if you get the girl to laugh WITH you. If she laughs AT you, you are sunk. Watch how a Master Flirter handles this situation:
18:26] Marco: Have you been dancing in the Purple Rain with Prince?
18:26] CA: lol
18:27] CA: im a cat today lol
18:27] CA: and im a hair dresser so in real life at times my hair is purple lol
18:28] Marco: yu can be MY kitty kat any day
18:28] CA: lol
You see? Light, breezy, I based my comments on her hair, her outfit, the song, and result? "LOL" SHE LAUGHED....I made it to FIRST BASE!
The next tactic is the "Friendly Banter" flirting, also used to get to First Base. The word Banter means "good-humored, teasing conversation." Watch how this works in the following convos:
1:26] Marco: Hello cutie pie!
1:26] CW: Hello Master Flirter
1:27] Marco: shhhh it is a secret.
1:29] CW: Only from the 3rd World, lol
1:29] Marco: hahaha
or
5:48] Marco: You're gonna get me in trouble with all my fans....they all want me.
5:48] JW: lmao
5:48] JW: sorries i will be good
5:48] JW: lol
5:48] Marco: yeah...I bet you would be too ;)
5:48] JW: mmmmmmmmmm
5:48] JW: dont tempt me marco baby
5:48] JW: lol
5:48] Marco: lol
5:49] JW: i am still holding that raincheck on my thongs being chewed off me lol
5:49] Marco: watch out, you might end up in a blog.
5:49] Marco: ooooo
5:49] JW: oh really?
5:49] JW: you do that and i will kick your ass lmao
5:50] Marco: promise? How do I spell your name?
5:50] JW: rofl
5:50] JW: i didnt say kiss your ass baby
5:50] JW: lol
5:50] Marco: HAHA

19:53] SE grins

The lesson today is short, but to give you a taste of some of the meatier coursework to follow, I give you a sample of "Innocent or Ingenue Flirting". Ingenue of course being the French word meaning "an artless, clueless, innocent young woman" but as you will see, as I use it, it means anything BUT innocent and artless.
10:21] IV: if you're bored..come to my work event..80's dance..LOL
10:21] IV: wear white
10:21] Marco: not bored at all...uhmm...I have a sweetie on my knee. ;)
10:21] IV: awwww
10:21] IV: so sweeet
10:21] IV: ok ..well bring her
10:22] IV: giggless
10:22] Marco: lol
10:22] IV: you can always have sex later
10:22] Marco: hm...she might not like that. ;)
10:22] Marco: OH you mean with HER?
10:22] IV: OMGGGG
10:22] IV: gigglesss
10:22] IV: yes
10:22] IV: i mean sex with her
10:23] IV: hahaha
10:23] Marco: haha
10:23] IV: you crack me up
10:23] Marco: lol
10:23] IV: put on white and come dance..will give ya good energy for sex
10:23] Marco: send me a link, and maybe...no promises.
10:23] IV: ok..teeheee..luv yaaaa
10:23] Marco: oo
You see grasshoppers? I played the "clueless, innocent" young man, and GOT TO FIRST BASE...she LAUGHED! (Note: I had ALREADY made a "Homerun" with the sweetie on my knee ;) Now, your homework for this week is to go out and get a gal to LAUGH with you! Enjoy!
