mawaridi, in a friends-locked post provides a lesson on Subtle Flirting. Specifically; what NOT to do, with an example from a party she went to.QWP.
Cast:
Me (drunk)
A nerdy but nice guy whose name I can't remember (henceforth: NBNG)
NBNG: *rambling nervously in an OMG-am-alone-with-girl sense* Blah blah blah. Blah! Blah blah blah blah.
Me: I have no idea what you're talking about. So are you going to kiss me or are you just going to stand there?
NBNG: ...! Um. Probably just stand here.
Me: Ok.
NBNG: But I might lean in a bit.
My Brain: Oh dear. *FACEPALM*
Me: Shut up, brain. I choose to interpret this as "I am not revolted by you, please snog me." *snogs*
NBNG: Heh...I don't do this very often.
My Brain: I can tell.
Me: That's ok, I do.
My Brain: Oh, you did not just say that.
*more snogging*
NBNG: Maybe I will come to this choir thing after all. Heh heh.
My Brain: Oh, crap.
Me: Well, this was fun. But, you know. Just a one-time fun...thing.
NBNG: *blushing* Oh, yeah, I knew that.
My Brain: SHAMELESS HUSSY.
