Oh, we’re just flirting
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hi, my name is Laney, and I’m a flirt.
Confession is good for the soul, right?
It didn’t used to be that way. But I’ve refined my tricks over the years, and I can’t help but use them sometimes. I love the feeling of smiling at a guy and having him smile back. Exchanging that typical semi-witty banter that falls into a fun pattern. Even if it doesn’t lead anywhere, the flirting game can be enjoyable in itself.
Sometimes, I can’t even help it. I sent an email to a coworker the other day innocently (or so I thought) commenting that I thought he had good taste in music. This precipitated more than 20 (!) immediately and evidently flirtatious emails in return. And I don’t even know the guy! When I was telling my friends about this state of affairs, one of my male compatriots was like “Oh, please, complimenting a guy’s taste in music — of COURSE he thinks you’re flirting with him!”
Well, um, oops, in that case!
Do you enjoy flirting, or do you just view it as an unfortunate means to an end (dating or a relationship)? What are your typical flirting tricks? Would anyone ever describe you as a flirt?
What flirting characteristics do you enjoy in a member of the opposite sex?
What does flirting mean to you?
