when your playing tunes how do you know the opposite sex are flirting! at a session in belfast recently a redheaded female flute player was rubbing my leg with her foot as we played and breathed huskily in my ear "i need you"!does this constitute coming onto someone?
I think you may need more help than we can give you! And as a fat, balding, greyhaired, aging ITM player, I confess that have nearly forgotten how to deal with situations like you are describing (come to think of it, that never even happened to me even when I was young and dashing).
OK, in another recent thread someone claimed that, at one of his gigs, two young ladies showed off their feminine assets. Now this. Next? Probably a video, "ITM: Girls Gone Wild!"
Sorry to burst your bubble but she's like that with everyone although you may not have heard the second part of that remark which is normally "...like Matt Molloy needs flute lessons"
If you see Matt, tell him I said he doesn't really need lessons. Even he can learn to play the flute if he puts his mind to it. Just tell him to put his mouth near one of the holes - it doesn't really matter which one - put his fingers on the rest, and (here comes the hard part) blow (using his mouth) while moving his fingers around. That's really all there is to it. I'll bet he can do it if he tries. Tell him that if he has trouble with it, I'll split the cost of a bodhran and a pen knife with him. And give the redhead my phone number.
There is a thing that female flute players do when they tilt their head to one side, hold themselves upright and sort of sway their hips to the rhythm that is maddeningly seductive.
if you were the sort that could be seduced, that is.
False Alarm!!!! I met her today outside her workplace...finally! I told her I thought that whay she did at the session was cool and I was ok with it. So what do I do next time?
Drop the hand?
breandan my identity is in your hands!!to reveal it would be an executable offense! im on a covert operation from ur superiors!commander mg and kwn(expecting) have given me for my eyes only orders!will send smoke signals and morse code in due course to keep u updated!!

She was probably just tapping her foot to the rhythm and your leg just happened to be there.
Sorry. I'm not sure if I'm a cynic or realist.

Re: help
Seems like your technical advice would be more profitably (and interestingly) given to the readhead.

Re: help
when they're playing the flute, I mean. I wouldn't know what they do at other times

Re: help
I do that when I play the flute Bren.
Yet none of the lads says I'm maddeningly seductive.
Is it my beard that puts them off?

Conan, when she was kicking me, I think the phrase ended "...to go get me a pint."

Just a thought, but have any of the plonkers who contributed to this thread ever heard of term sexism? No, I thought not!

Re: help
Geoff, surely you can't deny that women who play the flute are without exception gorgeous and sexy. (As is showaddyadito, even if he won't admit it!)

Re: help
needaliver she does read this board from time to time. Are you sure it's a good idea to confess your lust to the world?

Re: help
I suspect that the flute player in question was Maria - and you probably didn't hear the end of the sentence because of the noise in the bar
'.....to move a wee bit further away from me'
# Posted on November 12th 2005 by breandan
Re: help
Let's guess how she would have finnished the sentence... shall we?
"I need you to move or else my flute will start dripping on you."
"I need you to stop playing so I can hear the tune."
"I need you to move so my boyfriend can sit here."
