[braided pain]

I like flirting. I like the mind games, the back-and-forth, the energy.

I tend toward banter and innuendo and playfulness--where I might pop a friend in the arm with a rubber band, I'll pop a love interest in the arse. Steal a few French fries to see how he'll react. See which of us runs out of steam first.

I'll also flirt with 'safe' people to practice my skills, or just because it's a pleasant way to pass the time. Or because I need that sexual energy and don't want the actual sex.

So would dirty jokes count? That seems pretty risky. Or turning something the professor says and saying something to the girl next to me into something dirty and sexual based on something in lecture; there are tons of opportunities in biology for that. I've actually done that in a conversation about breast-feeding; that was not flirting by any means, it was just a dirty joke in passing in a convo; I don't know how that happened; it just did.

Yes, that counts. Sarcasm is fine too, as long as it's lighthearted. Snarky, not bitter.
