Girls, Do you find flirting with poetry or other creative writing to be a turn on?

Good grammar alone is enough for me.

But it all seriousness, I think it depends on the guy and how well I know him. If he’s writing because it’s something he enjoys, I’d like that. If it feels like he’s writing just because he thinks it’s quick access to sex, then absolutely not.

Haha fair enough. I think it’s cute to write thoughtful messages to women I’m close to, but they never seem to care.

Depending on the context. If we're just hanging out and someone suddenly starts reading a poem I'd laugh, and that's coming from a literature student!

If it's like on text or it's like a study session, maybe a library date then yeah it would be interesting, but I wouldn't call it a "turn on", it wouldn't get me wet

Haha fair enough. I have terrible “game”, but I can be quite eloquent with words. If I have someone’s first name I can write an acrostic poem using the letters in the name

If the conversation flow led to it you can definitely share that, not only with women but with people who are into literature in general.

I agree it’s better through text or through a letter to pass her. What’s your first name?

Creative writing is fun to see, but it doesn't turn me on or anything

No, words don't do it for me.

[RobEdelman]

Nice! Out of curiosity, why do people like to reply to these questions anonymously? I don’t think you’re incriminating yourself with this answer haha
