I belong to the chronic pain community, hell, for the most part, we are all to sick to flirt.

Nope. Had people come on to me bizarrely lol I don't think online relationships are worth the hassle even less so than actual relationships to be honest.

Just remind yourself that DS stands for Daily Strength, not Dating Service.

You can pick up broken men anywhere in real life, why bother with flirtations based on fantasy?

The only cross the line crap I've encountered on here is a couple messages from Nigerians straight up stating they want a fat wife... I tell them to go look on MySpace.

I love to flirt, and do with people who I know I can trust. I flirt in real life, also, but I also draw the line. Their are only certain people on here that I will joke that way with, and they know who they are.

BLUSHING I think that flurting is fun as long as it is not crossing the line it does lift my spirits it can be a healthy thing

I'd flirt with people on here once i knew we were friends, but wouldn't want to start a relationship with someone from here. I'm not strong enough to deal with someone else's depression as well as my own, I need to get better before I can get involved again. Wouldn't turn down fuck buddies though LOL

i just ignore things that seem to cross the line...it all depends what you're here for i guess

Don't let it get that far. If it did I would stop the conversation

Nope, neither.

I think it is true to say that we are all fragile - and who is to say that we'll need each other in the same way if we are healed? its the sad facts of life.
i know i never will heal and its not because of illness but something a lot deeper..
therefore even if there was ''flirting'' i highly, highly doubt anyone would want me.

its actually fact.

P.s it wouldn't be forfilling if anything more came out of it. as one member has just said you don't need two loads of baggage lol

As long as it isn't vulgar or stalker-like I would consider it as a self esteem booster. However, I would be honest with the person and let them know it is harmless flirtation. You obviously are uncomfortable enough to start a topic. Go with your gut feeling above all.

i wouldnt go there. I have enough problems with out dealing with that.

Found the love of my life soul mate on line not here but saved my life got me back on my feet and writing moving doing the sun rise and the moon shine. Shes crazy too welll dahlink had to be to put up with headcase like me.

My husband and I have been married since we were 20 yrs. old. I adore him but a little harmless flirtation wouldn't hurt anything. Just saying.

I've not flirted with anyone, I'm in a good relationship and don't need or want to flirt with others. I have had a guy that wouldn't leave me alone and kept bugging me and making sexual innuendos though...but I got rid of him in the end by removing him from my friends list, blocking him from IM and then simply just ignoring him and deleting anything he sent me.
