Actually, the discussion was orderly (taking turns, raised hands) but a bit noisy. The venue to which we were referring in the discussion was a poly pool party (imagine 80 or so folks in an over-heated swimming pool, like a huge hot tub) which was much noisier *and* dimly lit.
I only tend to notice flirting if it is fairly overt, likewise... I think that that is in part because I subconsciously filter anything less obvious. After all, why would [person] be interested in flirting with me? Plausible deniability...
I did fling myself competitively at a guy back in high school on a bet, and I won, too
(chuckle) Won him, or the bet? Or both? In my mind, "pick up" entails meeting someone at some event or location, flirting with Intent, and subsequently taking him/her elsewhere for more intimate activities. Exchanging contact information with someone new, and then arranging a subsequent date the following week, doesn't construe a pick up...
