Second Life Romance: How To Flirt in Second Life #2; First Base FlirtingIn my first essay on flirting in SL, Second Life Romance --How to Flirt #1, I listed some of the 16 basic types of flirting. There are more, but these are the basics: Breaking-the-Ice Flirting,"Innocent" or "Ingenue" Flirting,Outrageous BS Flirting *Wink,Friendly Banter Flirting,Funny-Pun Flirting,Purty Flirting,Sexy Flirting,Chatty Flirting,Funny Flirting,Get-to-Know-You Flirting,Get-to-Bed-You Flirting,Vampire Flirting,Dirty Flirting,The-Whole-Room Flirting,Virgin Flirting,Profile/Tag Flirting In today's Part 2, I wish to discuss some of these and give you examples. Some of my best flirting ever occur in these. Now these first types of flirting belong to a class of flirting called, "First Base Flirting". Listen-up grasshoppers....for by First Base I do NOT mean what you think....close, but not quite. Noo I don't mean Kissing, I mean "getting the girl to LAUGH WITH YOU! In the sport of Second Life Romance, getting the gal to laugh WITH you is truly the most fundamental goal; the first base of flirting. If she laughs AT you, you are sunk. Is she slaps you or calls for Security, you have totally flunked out. So today, the first goal is to get her to smile and laugh, WITH you. My first tactic is called "Breaking the Ice Flirting", used when meeting someone for the first time; or meeting someone I don't know very well. I try to stay light and breezy, and just let my flirts take off from something the person said..for example: I met CA for the first time at Quarters. She was in Neko mode, with purple hair, and was dancing to Purple Rain. Grasshoppers, please remember the most fundamental rule of flirting...you will have success if you get the girl to laugh WITH you. If she laughs AT you, you are sunk. Watch how a Master Flirter handles this situation: 18:26] Marco: Have you been dancing in the Purple Rain with Prince? 18:26] CA: lol im a cat today lol 18:27] CA: and im a hair dresser so in real life at times my hair is purple lol 18:28] Marco: yu can be MY kitty kat any day 18:28] CA: lol You see? Light, breezy, I based my comments on her hair, her outfit, the song, and result? "LOL" SHE LAUGHED....I made it to FIRST BASE! The next tactic is the "Friendly Banter" flirting, also used to get to First Base. The word Banter means "good-humored, teasing conversation." Watch how this works in the following convos: 1:26] Marco: Hello cutie pie! 1:26] CW: Hello Master Flirter 1:27] Marco: shhhh it is a secret. 1:29] CW: Only from the 3rd World, lol 1:29] Marco: hahaha or 5:48] Marco: You're gonna get me in trouble with all my fans....they all want me. 5:48] JW: lmao, sorries i will be good lol 5:48] Marco: yeah...I bet you would be too ;) 5:48] JW: mmmmmmmmmm dont tempt me marco baby lol 5:48] Marco: lol 5:49] JW: i am still holding that raincheck on my thongs being chewed off me lol 5:49] Marco: ooooo...watch out, you might end up in a blog. 5:49] JW: oh really? you do that and i will kick your ass lmao 5:50] Marco: promise?

I made it to First Base with all 4 of these cuties!The lesson today is short, but to give you a taste of some of the meatier coursework to follow, I give you a sample of "Innocent or Ingenue Flirting". Ingenue of course being the French word meaning "an artless, clueless, innocent young woman" but as you will see, as I use it, it means anything BUT innocent and artless. 10:21] IV: if you're bored..come to my work event..80's dance..LOL 10:21] IV: wear white 10:21] Marco: not bored at all...uhmm...I have a sweetie on my knee. ;) 10:21] IV: awwww so sweeet, ok ..well bring her, giggless 10:22] Marco: lol 10:22] IV: you can always have sex later 10:22] Marco: hmmm..she might not like that. ;) 10:22] Marco: OH you mean with HER? 10:22] IV: OMGGGG gigglesss, yes i mean sex with her! hahaha 10:23] Marco: haha 10:23] IV: you crack me up 10:23] Marco: lol 10:23] IV: put on white and come dance..will give ya good energy for sex 10:23] Marco: send me a link, and maybe...no promises. 10:23] IV: ok..teeheee..luv yaaaa 10:23] Marco: oo You see grasshoppers? I played the "clueless, innocent" young man, and GOT TO FIRST BASE...she LAUGHED! (Note: I had ALREADY made a "Homerun" with the sweetie on my knee ;) Now, your homework for this week is to go out and get a gal to LAUGH with you! Enjoy!
