Thanks, FFF's wife!
A while back, I had a profile on OKCUpid, where I messaged this guy whom, I swear, was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. I was intimidated, but he's a counter-culture, steam punk, ren faire type of guy, and the life I lead overlaps that a little.
Despite my intimidation, I sent him a message: "can you make me a fire hoop ?"
He wrote back: "no, but I can direct you to someone who will teach you how." or something to that effect.
And I said something like: "that'd be great, but apparently I fail at flirting."
And then this happened:
I am, at the very most, an inadequate flirt... at least when I think I should be flirting. All I can think is that guy thought, "I don't know this girl from Wilson on Home Improvement, and she's already trying to put me to work for her," and I was thinking, "this is a good opportunity to mention something we have in common."
Flirting failure: me.
Sorry, TEGH, for the hijack
