Some day there will come a time when you recall all those stupid things that you said as a youth, and they will haunt you…..like a hidden monster in the cellar, they will haunt you.
Looks like the reality check hit them so hard that Luann and Bernice don’t want to keep trying, that’s sad. Let’s hope they recover and try to flirt again. Or it would be interesting see how they would react if some of the boys will approach them while they are having their picnic. It’s nice that Luann always tries to lighten things up with some jokes.
Now, perhaps, the young ladies know what it’s like for a guy to approach a woman with witty banter and just the right thing to say to someone they have never talked to before but find attractive.
There is no such thing as flirty banter, any more. Everyone uses their phone and swipes. There’s LOADs of videos on the usual platforms with women complaining that men no-longer approach them. Men have adapted to the grim reality of modern dating. The women must now adapt also. This arc is an illustration of how severe the need of said adaptation is.
When I was young and single (40 years ago) men would approach women they were interested in. I never had to make the first move. And there were plenty of young men who would initiate a conversation with me. I would never chase after a man who was not interested enough to talk to me.
Luann should put together a book of her worst come-on lines. Though since she’s cute, she should get a smile or a little laugh, so worst could become an opening.
Luann needs to quit college and enroll in a finishing school where she can learn some etiquette, poise and class. Either that, or start performing as a stand up comic or a circus clown because right now she’s just a really repulsive obnoxious bimbo. Bernice is right to be embarrassed to be around her (and we all thought it would be just the reverse).
Well, in spite of what Sheriff Mordecai said last week, it looks like Luann and Bernice have “reverted back to their factory setting,” as one poster before me described it. This being Monday, I hope I’m wrong and something unexpected actually does develop.
flirty banter is NOT necessary (made a mistake); just “read the room” e.g. expressions, eyes etc. before making conversation that’s potentially stupid or unwanted.

Well, it wasn’t a total bust… at least they got some tasty chicken.
Luann definitely needs to work on her flirty banter.
So will they still meet somebody else or?

They couldn’t even give us one day of flirting at the Cluck Wagon. There is a word for this. It starts with a c and ends with tease.
Mordock999 Premium Member 3 months ago
Uh NO, Luann.
The Sleazy angle doesn’t work for you.
In fact, it makes you sound like a female version of Les, something the planet DOESN’T need.
So I guess just being yourself and letting the guys step up to you first is just out of the question, eh? ;-)

Luann tells Bernice that he said “chickin.” But that would sound exactly the same as “chicken.” So why the misspelling?
