I will not lie to stroke his ego. I'm not going to giggle and pretend I'm into something I'm not just to make him feel like he's hot shit. If I don't care, sorry boutcha luck, but I don't care.
"No, I'm not into you're band. Hardcore death metal was maybe my thing for ten seconds when I was 15. I am now no longer 15. Thusly, it is not me anymore. Yes, you're totally cute and have a smirk I can't resist, but I don't care about your band. Sorry, man. Doesn't change the fact that I can't resist your smirk but I'm not gonna listen to your metal band."
I realize this means I fail utterly at flirting. Apparently, flirting means giggling incoherently and pretending that whoever you're flirting with is the Ultimate King of Awesome. Simpering, blubbering, nonsense. I opt out. I prefer not to let my brain drain out my ears when a cute boy is around, thanks. I'll stick with Gears of War and my friend-zone, if that's the alternative.
ooooo Gears :)
ReplyDeleteYou don't always have to act that way to flirt, but you can fake minimal interest in a common interest or be honest about your disinterest. If you are honest about your disinterest, you should try to find a common like.
