DU women: Can I get a pity flirt?

[Pale Blue Dot]

First, take a look at my picture in the DU gallery (http://www.democraticunderground.com/gallery/gallery_a.html - NOTE: Add 15 years. Your mileage may vary). There, am I so bad looking?

I have been through incredible heartbreak, and my wife and I will officially file for divorce this week. I am starting to believe that I am going to spend the rest of my life alone, and I desperately need an ego boost. Can you flirt with me, just a little? I'm a basically nice guy, and I promise that I will still respect you in the morning. :D

WARNING: If this thread sinks like a stone, I may have to do something drastic, like join the priesthood (and I'm not even Catholic!) :scared: :-)

1. Sorry to hear of your divorce. Here's a hug, dude!

:hug:

Batting eyes all the while.. Val

[Pale Blue Dot]

4. Why thank you!

And you have very pretty eyes! :loveya:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

21. (blushing)...thanks!

[kikiek]

2. Well if it helps at all from a married woman I think you're

going to find someone very soon if you want to.

[Pale Blue Dot]

5. Thanks, but I'll be holding out for you.

:loveya:

[LynzM]

3. Don't join the priesthood!

Somebody out there is waiting for your caring eyes and great smile!

Seriously, many hugs to you. Divorce is difficult and different from everyone, but there are many supportive people here who are willing to listen and help however they can, and you will get through it. You'll probably learn a lot about yourself and what you want in a relationship in the process, and hopefully, you will find someone who appreciates that knowledge. :hug:

;) ;) ;) <--- requisite winks for flirting!

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. That's the hard part.

I've figured out that I have to figure it all out on my own first, and that is really, really scary.

What an insightful comment! Thanks! :loveya:

[nini]

7. hey baby... what are you wearing?

:evilgrin:




sorry to hear of your heartache... it sucks to go through all that and it's normal to feel things will never get better.. but they will. Don't give up on yourself... surely something is waiting around the bend for you.

[Pale Blue Dot]

8. I'm wearing a T-shirt and blue khaki shorts.

But I don't look half as good as you do! :loveya: Thanks!

[nini]

13. do you think that's my pic?

oh honey.. I wish I was that young!! That's Ilana Wexler - the littler girl who gave the speech at the dem convention.. she's my new hero :D

But, if you're flirting back.. GO ON you sweet thing :loveya:


LOL

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. I knew that wasn't you.

Your beauty cannot compare to Miss Wexler's - she HOPES she grows up to look like you! :loveya:

[nini]

19. How do you know what I look like?

I haven't posted my pic in the gallery because I don't wanna make the other girls jealous :evilgrin:

This reminds me of those threads about cheesy pickup lines....ha

feeling better it appears! I'm sure you can count on the DU ladies whenever needed to help you out. You shouldnt' hesitate to reach out when you need to. Hang in there finnfan!

:loveya:

[Pale Blue Dot]

20. I am imagining how you look based on your posts.

As an aside, I thought of a great pickup line while I was at the Warped Tour Friday night (a concert that I had no business being at):

"I wear my tattoos on the inside."

What do you think? I should have the women crawling all over me in no time, right? Right?

Thanks again, nini. :D :loveya:

[nini]

23. looks like you've already got women crawling over you here

you're gonna make the other guys jealous. :P



:loveya:

9. The Queen of Flirting is here

never fear....

You smell REALLY good....what cologne are you wearing?

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. Ummm.... Ivory Soap?

My future-ex had no sense of smell. Damn! I guess I have to go out and buy cologne now!

Thank you, my beautiful queen. :loveya:

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

15. You are so welcome!

Well if that isn't cologne, you just must naturally smell good and what woman can resist THAT?

Your hair in your picture looks great. It's really thick, eh? Thick enough for a girl to run her fingers through?

[Pale Blue Dot]

17. I have not lost a single strand.

Run away! :loveya:

[LynneSin]

10. Why don't we meet in Philly for the upcoming Kerry Meetup

I think I started a thread somewhere about moving my meetup to the Philly area and I'm going to drag Ramsey along with me (although I haven't officially notified her of this yet).

I defy anyone to come up with a better evening then spending it with two hot progressive blondes at a Kerry Meetup

:loveya:

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. Wow... I'm getting chills...

With that kind of invitation, there's no WAY I'll miss it.

Just promise me you won't hurt me, OK? :loveya:

[LynneSin]

34. Oh we'll hurt you

but you'll like it

I'll give Ramsey a call and we should meetup and get involved with getting Kerry & Hoeffel elected in Pennsylvania. I don't want to waste my time in Delaware since it's pretty obvious that Kerry will win that state!!

12. You like Finns, too?

I adore them! Let's run off to Finland together! We can hang out in the sauna, swim in the lake, and pick berries naked!

[Pale Blue Dot]

18. Uh... It USED to be for the Finn Brothers (musicians)

However, suddenly I have a strong desire to travel for Finland, and to eat berries! :loveya:

[SOteric]

22. You cutie, you.

You are a good-looking, incredibly intelligent, warm and caring man and I'm finding it near impossible to believe that you won't find your life filled with the love and affection of eligible and attractive people in short order. Hang in there. No, your mother did not slip me a few bucks to say this. :hug:

[Pale Blue Dot]

24. WOW.

OK. My head can no longer fit in this room. Thank you, SOteric. :loveya:

And thanks, Mom. :loveya:

[buycitgo]

25. ha! wrong thread

kiss me, anyway!

[Pale Blue Dot]

26. I think that you responded to the wrong thread.

But thank you, and may I say that you are really hot! :loveya:

[SarahB]

27. Blatant flirtation here:

Finnfan, you are so sexy. May I lick you?

There, now that's flirtation, people! Geesh! :7

And yep, I hear you on all that other fun stuff. My marriage is a big turd that is stuck and clogging up the toilet. It's been a bad day today (among thousands now) and trying to figure exactly how we get out of this mess.

[Pale Blue Dot]

28. May I suggest you get out of it by

continuing to flirt with me? Ay carumba! You may lick me anytime you want!!!! :loveya:

:D

[Pale Blue Dot]

29. Thank you all!

This was fun, and exactly what I needed. I promise that I will be dreaming of EACH AND EVERY ONE of you tonight! :loveya:

Thanks again!

[Ellen Forradalom]

35. See you in the sauna!

Bring a towel!

[yvr girl]

30. I'm shy...

but if you buy me a coffee, we can play footsie under the table.

[Pale Blue Dot]

32. Very, very cool.

I like shy girls who like to play footsie! :loveya:

[TOhioLiberal]

31. Awww, poor Finn...

:hugs: ;)<----thats about as flirty as I can get...

Seriously the divorce thing sucks! She's missing out on a good guy! I mean what's not to like? Good looking, liberal...good looking...come to Ohio! I'll chase ya!

[Pale Blue Dot]

33. I'm right in Pennsylvania!

Thanks for the flirt! :loveya:

[NashVegas]

36. FinnFan

I can't do much for you right now (at work), but will see what feminine wiles can be conjured up at a later time.

Sorry, sweetie.

[terrya]

37. Will you accept a pity flirt from a gay man?

Sorry to hear of your divorce, Finn. :-(

[TransitJohn]

38. Well

My wife walked out on me aqbout 8 years ago, and at this point I look at marriage like I look at the chicked pox--I've had it once, and shouldn't get it again.
