Wait a minute-back up-say what???

Is there something about me or Ray that just invites weirdness? (No, I don't really want an answer. And yes, I know that won't stop some of you ( Read more... )

yeah, had that trouble in the SCA a lot myself. Doesn't hurt that I'm an incorable flirt... but I don't really mean it... I'm VERY monogomous... VERY. Thanks.

A lot of people tend to leave theircommon sense and moral codes behind with their mundane names at these larger/longer events... has kind of scared me away while I have gradeschool/middleschool kidlings with me.

*shudders*

That was something else about the encounter that surprised me. I appear to have forgotten how to flirt...I started flirting (according to my mother) at 2 weeks old. Somehow in the last 2 years I have forgotten how. I was actually tongue-tied at someone's attempts to flirt with me last weekend. Of course, it might have been the 5-year-old hanging on my skirt.

oh no!!!! Yeah, I flirt a lot better when the kidlings are off elsewhere, lol!

Yeah. Having the little one's keeps me from flirting. I've been working hard to recover a little bit of that part of my life. I mean, I am going to be single soon whether I like it or not. I will never marry again nor have more kids, but I won't live to happy if I can't at least have some interaction with adults.

so i get asked a lot "how can you tell if a person is poly, bisexual, available, etc?"

and the answer i usually give them is "everyone is poly, everyone is bi."

which is a way of saying "whatever you do pretend it's normal and that everyone does it."

as a strategy, it works more than you might expect. in that you get a reaction like yours less often that the one you're usually looking for.

I appear to know a lot of people who follow that theory in every aspect of their lives. Hey, whatever works. :-)

You are both very open-minded type peoples. Often that kind of open-mindedness leads to openess of other sorts. As you mentioned it was polite, and unless they bring it up again chaulk it up to just one of those things.

*nod* That's pretty much what I was was going to say. Open-mindedness on one side plus an "it doesn't hurt to ask" attitude on the other side of the equation will get you this sort of thing. It's not so much inviting weirdness as failing to deter it. ;>

If they are decent people, they won't ask again and it shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe it's the constant hope that you swing. You're attractive (oh gosh, did I say that?) and Ray's not uneasy on the eyes either (you're safe from me Ray). So it doesn't surprise me if people wonder or desire you to swing.

Of course, I just put up a tire swing that that's all I'm going to do.

If they know you are kinky they assume you at least swap. Master and I are poly, rather he is poly. I am not shared with others even though he shares his wife. Go figure? Anyway, when we go to kink demos, people act surprised that he won't let some other Dom fuck me. We must have missed that rule in the perv book.
