Flirting is good for the soul

I am convinced that flirting is just good for the soul. I think it makes your skin brighter, your smile shinier and your eyes more sparkly.
I have no medical proof of this but that's what I firmly believe. Its how I felt yesterday when I spent the afternoon laughing with an acquaintance.
You know the drill... its always someone that you never quite think of in "that" way... someone you've known for awhile... someone who somehow, magically manages to do or say or smile just the right way... and then it clicks...
Wow... he's cute, and smart and funny and sweet... How did I miss all this before?
In the case of this specific gentleman... He’s someone I’ve known for a couple of years. He is just a smidge younger than I am. (well, more than a smidge but eh… I don’t look my age so we’ll just keep blurring that line) And he’s freaking adorable. I had a really fun easy-going time with him.
I like those.
The great thing about younger men is that they seem just a tad fearless in their approach. (laughs) They put it out there, and if you seem hesitant, they put it out there stronger. And again... and then they tweak it a little and try again. Until you smile... pow!
Persistence can be sexy. (Stalking is not -- know the difference, please!)
It is very appealing to chat with someone and discover little nuggets about them that make you smile and that send your mind wandering just a little bit into the land of ... "what if..." and then to pull back to reality and think... "gee, this is actually a really good moment". And your smile grows just a little bit larger... and you nod (maybe to yourself) that yes... yes! THIS is a good, good moment.
It was like that.
All sparkly, shimmery, fun and frolic. It was a giddy, tickly feeling in my tummy. It was... slide your eyes down low 'cause you're thinking slightly naughty thoughts and you don't quite want to give it away. (I can say all this here because he does not read the blog, hallelujah!)
All that to say... after having a great day -- I gave a talk about breast cancer to some very nice people in Baltimore (great experience) -- an unexpected opportunity to flirt and laugh and feel free and happy... was the cherry on top of the sundae. It was a good feeling.
I am going to encourage everyone to take an hour or so (hopefully longer) today – or over the next few days – to just smile, laugh and say naughty and inappropriate things to someone you really want to see smile. Trust me… it will make you feel good all the way down to your toes.
Did for me. (wink)

hey mass!
very true. there is a fine line between innocent fun & flirting... and someone getting caught up. i flirt all the time, and i enjoy all of it. makes me feel more alive. its a beautiful thing. a lot of people are very lonely though, so you do have to be careful how you spread your "love" around. :) |

@Pink nice fun-loving happy upbeat blog. Flirting is contagious. Its fun, I flirt a lot. It does give you a good feeling inside. I flirt with people all the time, when they flirt back its cool. I take it all in stride. If they cross the line, I'll just delete them as a friend.

Nice blog.
It's good to see that there are women out there that still like men....and still appreciate men. Can't get any of that here in the military. SMH.... |

Nice story. Lately I've tried to limit my flirting but it's such apart of my personality. I find myself at times going over the limit and then I have women more interested than I intended them to be. And if I don't follow through with all that flirting then I look like a jerk or as if I was misleading someone. With that said, flirting is very good but with so many people anxious to find that one, you have to be careful. But when both people are clicking, similar to the flirting that takes place on a first date, it's nothing like it. You wish you could bottle up that energy and keep it as long as you can.
