So I was talking to a customer at work. Normally I make it quick; you know just going over the options and what not, but every once in a while I get a really attractive customer and I somehow manage to talk to her as if I weren't scared to death of attractive women. (I know shocking right??) :-P Any way when the customer left a friend of mine who worked at a rental agency next to me came over and said.. Nice, you were flirting like a pro... I was actually taken aback a bit.. I have never really been able to talk to women face to face for lengths of time, yet alone flirt.. Apparently though I was doing it without realizing it. So it dawns on me; What constitutes flirting as opposed to just having a friendly conversation? I have always had the notion that flirting required both parties to be in the flirty mind set with a conclusion that there might be some sort of date in the future, or at least an exchange of names and a thanks for the conversation type deal... To that end none of my "flirting" could really be called flirting.. Could it?? If a man compliments a woman is that flirting or is it being nice? And Vice Versa of course. (After all I am a progressive fellow.) ;-) Or is it flirting? Going back to the customer, Admittedly I took a genuine interest in what the young lady was saying; She had an audition to play the cello in a New York orchestra. Which is very very cool.. So how could my friend think I was being flirty? More importantly how could I know realize I was doing it? Here is the thing I know I get flirty on here when I'm complimenting all the beautiful young ladies bearing their bodies for the masses. Which I must say YAY!!! ;-) .. To be honest I probably wouldn't knowingly have the courage to flirt in person, but some how it's a lot easier on here. So how do I translate that into the real world? It makes sense as to why I can flirt online, obviously the fear of rejection is a lot lessened if you aren't face to face.. There's a saying..Dance like no one is watching. I suppose that's just a clever way of saying don't worry so much about being rejected just have fun. Perhaps that's advice I should try, or maybe I have already taken it, and just not realized it.. Either way.. :-D
Rant Over.. Cheers.
