"No, if anything it's been useful practice 
I have no idea what I'm doing  "
I second this.. i am currently finding 'vanilla' dating difficult..
Don't know if it is my expectations or pre predicting intentions? Haha..
Wanting the best of both worlds - is it realistic ? |

You can't block and delete in the real world.
Then again you can't ask for a lot of prerequisites before they start chatting to you. If they do.
People in the real world have no idea. None of us do we find the comfort of a keyboard too easy. |

I'm glad some of you feel my pain
The situation - I've worked a couple of shifts with a guy at work, we don't see each other often (he does evening shifts on the bar, I tend to do breakfast shifts) which could work in our favour as that means we could keep things more private. We've talked on Facebook, he asked for my number so he could text me the rota. But do I ask him out for a drink? How? When? What?  |

You can walk away, showing your palm, shaking your head saying "Never gonna happen, mate. Never gonna happen". |

I think there's two separate dynamics to this.
Flirting online like fab is hardly flirting, it misses body language and context is easily lost in text type communication where it is far more emphasised in person.
But I do agree that at times I'm perhaps a bit too forward in vanilla dates possibly due to developing a sense of sexual association with Flirting as a result of previous fab socials or meets.
But at least vanilla dates quickly get a flavour of who we truly are.
Win some, lose many!  |

I don't flirt. I just hope if I send enough hints or subconscious clues they'll eventually pick up on it - on here and in the real world.
But I do wonder how certain behaviour translates 'out there'. Good thread OP for my nosiness.  |

Just ask him, don't be afraid of being direct with a guy... if you're too subtle, men tend to err on the side of caution in case we've misunderstood. |

I think that's hit the nail on the head. Some folks are good at flirting and a natural at pulling some of us find it harder. A meet from fabs at least sets the ball rolling even if it only stays platonic |

So naff he won't know if you're joking or not. If he says sorry, no, you can make out you were just having a laugh with him |

I don't have problem with flirting but since I've joined fab I don't believe that guys in real life mean their compliments seriously...simply because I see what men send me here just to have a quick shag |

In that case, I'm basically going to tell him I'm interested but I want to take it slowly |

It's probably an excuse to get your number. Give it to him, and just do general chitty chatting and take it from there.

This is a sad state of affairs of how the internet can have a negative impact on people skills. One has to be mindful to be smarter these days to keep people interactions real. |

Not for me, Nothing better then going out and having to be confident to go up to a girl and flirt and chat.
I'm friends with a lot of younger lads through playing sport with them, dating apps have made it far to easy for them to pull they aren't good at approaching randoms in pubs and clubs |

the problem with flirting on here is it's a bit like using a sledgehammer when sometimes a gentle poke will do, oh the innuendo (the poke not the sledgehammer you disgusting lot) |

I'm the same! I'm so used to declaring an interest/guys declaring an interest that I've completely forgotten how to flirt - or how to tell if a guy finds me attractive without him telling me directly!
I haven't had sex in the 'real world' since I joined fab well over 3 years ago!
If and when I try dating again I'm worried I'll be so direct that they'll run a mile!! |

Not at all; if anything I'm struggling to communicate in the porn-fuelled Fab world and the intricacies of the balance between being sexually overt while sensual and choosy. |

"No, I'm not kidding. "
I can understand this happening. I think it has made me very cautious as most vanilla ladies would run a mile if they knew. Also, I love the sexy banter in clubs, but can't say most of the stuff to ladies in a vanilla environment. Most likely get a slap. |

If anything the club scene in swinging world has made me far more comfortable in the vanilla world. I relax more on vanilla nights out because I no longer "go out on the pull". |

I would actually say I am actually less assertive in the real world than in fan or club world
The reason is that on the last vanilla night out the lads were going up to girls hugging them touching them and in my head i was like ffs you haven't asked to touch
Don't get me wrong I can talk to women, I just can't flirt. Charming yes talking yes anything more I freeze lol
Also i am still not comfy with someone saying they have taken a shine to me. |

"I've never been any use at flirting and I'm still utterly rubbish at it. I fall back on charming people with my quirkiness. "
Well that's kind of flirting albeit not direct, but I'm thinking you don't need it to get attention.I may be wrong... |

If I find a woman attractive in the vanilla world I'm a bit of a flirt, even if I know nothing will happen. I just like chatting with pretty ladies. Making conversation face to face is so much easier than on the internet, plus body language to gauge their reaction is invaluable. On here, I can't talk/flirt because it's so impersonal and women don't engage.....well not with me. I would like to think it's the whole being guarded thing but I might just be an arse.. |
