I'm not very good with flirting online or in real life. The only time I am comfortable flirting is when I know someone really well, and I feel secure enough to know it's not going to cause any problems for myself, the other involved, or to any extensions of the people involved.
Tec, to answer your points;
1) "Getting serious", if I flirt with someone there would have to be some "serious" feelings to begin with, otherwise I can't see the point of flirting at all... it would be empty and meaningless...
2) I suppose it could be an easy Ego Boost... but I can't see how something that is not really meant, can be genuine, and therefore satisfying?
3) With the lack of any kind of relationship (be it friendship or reciprocated lust or whatever...) empty flirtation does nothing for me... I can't see the point, not even for entertainment value... I can't get the whole doing something or saying something that you don't really mean or feel.
(maybe I have this all wrong, maybe I'm just too damn serious all the time *shrugs*)
