And sometimes you'll find someone who's just happy to flirt back :-]
That's the thing, they ALL seem happy to
, and I can't even tell them "um, could you please reject him? He's supposed to be bad at this.", because that'd be scripting how others RP.I digress... I just wish girls had a lil higher standards out there! Sure your da wouldn't approve a bachelor like Clive!
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
