1) is it easier to "get serious" due to the lack of facial expression?
2) is it just an easy Ego Boost?
3) what does this flirtation do for You?
interesting thread.

1. sort of. I suspect I'd start giggling uncontrollably if i was face-to-face sometimes.
2. sure. nuthin wrong with that.
3. um .. makes me happy to make people I like enough to care about happy, and to give said people ego boosts ... sometimes it can make me hot and bothered ... sometimes it reminds me that I need real life sex.

One thing, that I think is important .. I usually only flirt with people I'd flirt with irl. in other words, either I've seen a pic, or else the person is so damn cool that I don't really care, it's just a way to share some good warm fuzzies and such ..
