OP, the people that randomly show up on yahoo and g-mail are being paid to lure people to a website. If some random stranger you have never given your e-mail address to does this, then that is what they are. They scour the web and hit as many people as they can to lure you to a site usually sex and porn sites.
They normally target males.
A lot of times they try to pretend they have met you, either in real life or online social media.
When bored I have had fun messing with a few of them. Being a straight female who doesn't use social media I find it hilarious because they are hoping to snag some horny guy. Pretty easy to mess with them and waste their time.

It's the internet. It's expected. Either don't go on the internet or learn to ignore the 'flirting'. IMHO

Candlestick, you are so right, flirting on the net is horrible. Listen, why don't we grab a cup of coffee - yeah, over at my place - and we can cut those lights down low and give these internet creeps the slip.

I don't want to creep you out, so just to let you know I was just horsing around,
A serious answer. The internet is very much like hanging out at a bar or a dance, everyone wants a little attention and we think our thoughts are just about the coolest things in the room, and then we find out that other people also have great thoughts and experiences, and we communicate with them. Humans live life in social situations, and net-speak and the internet have given society, in just the past twenty years or less for most people, access to data that we wouldn't have dreamed of when we were kids (remember encyclopedia's, when they were the source of hard-to-find information? Libraries used to have answer desks, for people who wanted to know the population of Brasil and things like that). Now, we can ask the world, and ATS is a fine place to do that. In the midst of that we also hang out with each other. Communication amongst us human apes has taken a giant leap into the future in the very near past, and we are now all along for the ride. Sometimes friendliness and what you call flirting comes with the territory.edit on 15-4-2014 by Aleister because: spelleng fixx
