halfarock Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 In another thread, it was insinuated, repeatedly, by a variety of posters that flirting was somehow a character flaw. By an agglomeration of posts it would seem that a flirty person is a slutty, insecure, shallow, immature, attention whore. Being an insatiable, habitual flirt, all I can say is that this attitude is just plain wrong. It takes a great deal of confidence to flirt well. I’ve come to the realization that most (at least 80%) of people have a really hard time looking anyone in the eye for a significant amount of time. I, however, can look anyone in the eyes without even a flinch in the slightest. So, whenever I do get a person who will look me in the eyes I take full advantage of it. It is play, it is entertainment, it is making a connection with another person. I flirt with everyone, from little girls to old ladies, and everyone in between, even a man every now and then. I’ve never had a complaint from anyone who I’ve flirted with. Everyone is happy for having made that little connection. Most of it is entirely innocent – good clean fun. But at the same time, when there is romantic interest, it gets quite intense. My girlfriend isn’t bothered at all that I flirt. In fact, when one of her friends is down, she’ll say to me, “Hey, why don’t you go cheer her up, you know, go flirt with her.” Flirting is a good thing, a very good thing, it makes life worth living.

LucreziaBorgia Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I don't see anything wrong with flirting in general. I guess for it to be ok in a relationship though two things have to be true: 1. The person flirting has no intent to cheat. 2. His/her partner is very secure with the relationship. Otherwise, the relationship is toast. Link to post Share on other sites
