Cyber Flirting: How Wonderful Is It?

I do not want to negate a blog posted on the same subject with an opposite view. I agree with that blog entirely, but I do want to balance the discussion.

Cyber flirting can be just like real life, and can be harmful or sweet and grand. Be fully aware that cyber flirting can be powerful, just like real life and maybe more so. In cyber flirting we don’t have the nitty gritty of daily life and the intrusions of other people. Our imaginations can run wild, if we allow them to do so, and that is the wild and wonderful part, but that is also the dangerous part.

I just started web chatting in the last 2 years and I have learned as I went. I learned to connect with my imagination and to role play, and to be a slightly different personality for the people that I met, without being deceitful or dishonest. In the process, I have a wider acceptance of people and I more knowledge of them.

I have drunk a bit too much with some drinkers, and I have tried tea with the tea drinkers. i still am not a drinker, and I prefer coffee, and so it is with other things. I am not much of a flirter, but I am better than I was. I never ran into whisper, when new, nor did I chastise the men who wanted to rush me into a whisper. I really did not know what a whisper was, but I did know that I came to a room where civility was expected and that is where I stayed until I trusted someone enough for a private chat or needed to speak to them privately.This and much more is the same as real life. The big difference is the amount of fantasy and imagination that can be used.

I saw men pounce on women, and I saw women baiting men and when men grabbed the line, the women acted offended. I learned that most men will go farther than most women may expect, and sex is their favorite subject, or I think I did. I saw women fighting over men just as they would in real life. I also saw men being gallant, neutral, or butting heads. I also know that some men know the rules and never forget them and that both men and women learn the rules, or they don’t stay. Just like real life. On SC, the rules are good and allow adults to be safe and explore life and love in as much safety as is possible in a cyber world.

Cyber flirting can be wonderful, and the depth of feeling may amaze you, but you must deal with that and be prepared for it. One or both parties may and can escape rules and reality, and one or both may end up with real consequences, like distance and realities that cannot be overcome. No, one big reality in the real world or cyber world, “Love does not conquer all” , but it may be “better to love and to lose, than never to love at all”.

And who said, “All the world is a stage “, so the level of realness varies greatly so know your character and the character of others, pun intended, or your drama will be a tragedy instead of the great love story, and even love stories do not really end, “and they lived happily ever after.
