Ha, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Even worse than no 'dar, I have no flirt skills either and can neither flirt, nor tell if someone is flirting with me. Any attempts to try a flirt usually end up fairly lame. The best was the very cute one at Publix supermarket who just about smashed his cart into mine to get my attention - all I could offer was a blank stare, an apology and walked away, when I should have gotten the hint instead. Oh well, live and learn.

Kukukajoo, I've had a similar experience when I used to go out with my best friend who was a competitive bodybuilder at that time, and blonde/blue to boot. I can't count the number of times the waitress/waiter fawned over him and then walked away without even taking my order like I was invisible! The first few times I got nasty about it, but after awhile I gave up. The upside was watching the rage build in the Fort Lauderdale Queen Mafia set when they'd see him pick up the tab - the glares got to me, but after he explained they were just being jealous and .....y, I let it go.
