I've noticed a trend among online posters looking for romance and companionship to look for, or at least *fall for* humor first.
What I see is lots of people trying to be funny. This is the nature of internet *dating*. People flirt from one joke to the next.
I think seductive and humorous flirtation should be approached with caution. I'm naturally funny (how terribly immodest but true), but I don't try to disarm others to meet my romantic needs. (if I do, it ain't working)
Sure I do it anyway, but that's beside the point. Besides, I extend my compassion beyond tuna nets - I catch and release all jokes.
I don't need or want a date with anyone on this site. (no offense) I can't take even the most *intimate* online exchange seriously. Makes me wonder how healthy this online forum is for the romatically inclined.

first off, welcome back!!!!
also, have i ever asked you to marry me? well, what the hell took me so long?
are you considering this site as an internet dating site? i never have. i just find this as a way to get away from screaming kids (there's one screaming right now and it's not even mine), daily responsibilities, and a way to flaunt myself like a piece of meat, much like everyday (is that so wrong i ask?).
i think that's just part of my personality, a thing i cant change and wouldn't want to either. im not looking for dates, nor am i looking for sex. i am however looking for a huge diamond ring. (any takers???? pretty please? i don't think i've said it any more clearly than that!)
i think it's all in good fun dear. why not join in?

Tell us a joke, Verne. I need some tips on finding romance on the internet. Or somewhere.... anywhere.

I can be serious and I can be not-so-serious. Take kissing for example, one should always be serious about kissing and not tongue in cheek.
As for the sex thing, I can't help myself. Its already been covered here.

At the risk of sounding less than masculine, not really, not me, at least I don't think so Phillipa. They must have done a survey in a nudist colony or something.

Unless that's the kissing technique.

i just feel like i'm getting it all wrong with you verne?
am i wrong?
you're a tough cookie to crack (not that i'm insulting you by calling you a cookie or that i'm trying to crack you.).
can we be friends? there's nothing more sincere than that. and there are absolutely no hidden messages there either (not like i normally do).
welcome back verne. i hope your fence is ok. and that your lawn looks beautiful. and that you're happy, healthy and feeling completely fabulous.
if you do indeed extend my invitation to be my friend, i'll try my hardest not to flirt, but that's just how i am dear, with everyone.

i can't help it. i was raised by a mother who explained the birds and bees to me like this (granted, i was 16 at the time):
'birds do it and fly. bees do it and die. dogs do it and stick to it, so why don't you and i?'
she's often quoted as saying 'if it feels good, do it', as well as the (in)famous 'did i stutter?'
maybe it's my upbringing?
maybe i'm hardwired this way?
nature v. nurture?
i do come from a long line of dirty talkers full of potty mouths and lack of inhibitions... but, i love it.
