[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 410444"] There's plenty that also figure that a recently divorced or separated person is rebounding, ergo looking for some no-strings-attached fun. Some are, some do, and plenty also don't. I'm a natural flirt, it's my version of small talk. I adore puns and double entendres, and it sometimes appeals to my sadistic side, too. Doesn't mean I'm in the least bit interested in the person I'm talking to in that way, though. It's just how I talk. I know a number of women who are the same way - we're not great at small talk, so this is how we communicate. I'm also used to being around men who are the same way, often guys old enough to be my father or even grandfather, or young enough to be legal but way too young for me. It's casual banter and often a way to make someone smile and brighten their day a little bit, and I rarely have guys take it the wrong way (some are oblivious, yes). Those who think I'm serious are informed otherwise, i.e. "I need a signed and notarized permission slip from your current wife, delivered by her in person, before I can even consider your offer." Said line also delivered with a smile, but a cooler smile. Because yes, I've been duped into going out with guys that were married or otherwise attached and no one told me until later. And yes, I was VERY insulted when a mutual friend said "I thought you knew." Floored, in fact. It's like... obviously, you don't know me. If I'd known, I wouldn't have gone! But I made and am still friends with that guy's now ex-wife. P.S. To run some off, I'm not above telling them that I don't think they have a high enough pain capacity for me. ;) [/QUOTE]
