I was flirting with this girl online. Or was I?
The internet makes life more complicated. Where are the labor saving devices promised in the back pages of pulp magazines?
Talking to people in person is hard enough. Talking without any body language or voice tone adds entire levels of difficulty to the process. And don't tell me about smiley faces and shorthand; "LOL" is a poor stand-in for the sound of a child's laughter.
Do you ever do that though? Where you're talking to someone (I am referring in general, towards girls, but this may vary for readers) and you think you're flirting, but maybe you're just really irritating that person? The line between playful banter and being a prick is pretty thin, and it's just a bad situation if you can't quite tell the difference. And the thing about flirting is you can't just ask, "Hey, are we flirting?" Because that kills it. And if you're not flirting, well that's just really embarrassing.
