You know why girls are drawn to the bad boys? The players? Because they are so good at flirting! If you ask me, guys don't compliment girls enough (and cat calls do NOT count). So when the bad boys say something nice and throw in a wink and flash a bright smile, it's all a girl can do to not wet her pants right then and there. Flirting is fun!
I have a couple of guy friends who live across the country, and I often exchange flirty messages with them. I think my shyness goes away with them because they're "safe"--they live across the country, so nothing will ever happen and I can say whatever I want. Right?
Today I was involved with one such exchange while riding the bus home when I caught myself smiling ear to ear while I was reading a message. What was I doing? When is flirting just flirting, and when is it time to stop? What would I do if that guy all of a sudden decided to move back across the country? Then I shook my head and realized this is not something I should over-think.

I agree with your second paragraph.It does seem "safe" to you, but try to take a risk and use those flirting skills in person! Try it with one guy, even if you don't find him attractive. Maybe that would be easier for you first. It sounds like you have a crush on your texter. I think you are ready for the next level.:)
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, I refuse to admit anything because that's how I get disappointed and hurt. On the other hand, dude lives on the other side of the country, so taking anything to any other level is just not a good idea.
ReplyDeleteShit, now I wonder if this guy reads the blog. I don't THINK so, but.....
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a bit of harmless flirting via text! Sometimes it's a nice reminder that you are sexual and desired.
ReplyDeleteI think that's just it. When your dating life is chirping crickets for a very VERY long time, it means a lot to feel even the slightest bit desired once in a while.
ReplyDeleteChances are, lots of men are attracted to you and desire you. But 98% of them aren't good enough for YOU.
