    Okay, well, now how about when you constantly see posts by someone on a friend's page, but you are not friends with this other person and decide to drop them a pm simply complimenting them on how good they look and to keep up the great work. No friend request, no pic, no questions. A fly-by compliment, if you will. Creepy? :huh:

    I would have to say that's bordering on creepy. Depends what (if anything) you did after that. My personal opinion. I have a very sensitive creep monitor though.

    Flirty is when it makes you wet.
    Creepy is when it makes you nauseous.

    If you are a HOT guy it is flirting.

    If not then it will likely be regarded as creepy.

    I disagree. It's all about the way you say (type) things. Humor is key, without humor, things can sound creepy.

    This!!!
    You can come out with the worst line in the world, and it will work if you put the right spin on it. It's all in HOW you say it, not WHAT you say. This is why flirting over the internet can be tricky. Tone of voice and body lanuage is removed from the factors so you are left with just context.

    So my question ....has any guy ever had a girl be creepy?

    YES! and they are usually constant FR from women under 22 (im 41, so I just auto deny) but then they PM in the most forward freaking ways that even though Im a perv (in a good way) I think girls (and yes they are girls to me) just shouldnt be doing that to old dudes like me.

    See, I think this one depends very much on the current profile pic. I could probably get away with it with my current pic, but I would probably get shut down if I had the blue pic up.

    I can't tell the difference. It's flirting as far as I'm concerned until I get reported to the mods (repeatedly !). Some people can't take a compliment.

    Flirting - when they're reciprocating or open to it

    Creepy - when they're not; if you know way too much about them, follow them around, or keep trying it on with them despite getting the feeling that they're probably not that keen then you're being creepy.

    So by that analysis, yes, looks will probably come into it a little bit, but a stellar personality and sense of humour could redeem you.

    My husband is a total creeper. In a flirty kind of way. He sneaks up behind me in the store and smells me.

    AW! So sweet!

    Truth. This is why I'm a creep. Girls don't like parrots. They tend to stick with their own species.

    It probably makes me a total geek to say this but everytime I see your parrot pic and read your posts I think of the episode of full metal alchemist where the "sun god" tried to bring a human back to life with a bunch of bird souls. You're right, it's creepy haha. Please tell me someone else knows what I'm talking about =)
