Flirting
Flirting is an important component of social behavior and although it can easily be misinterpreted, it need not be so if you select your ‘victims’ carefully and if you follow the six primary rules about flirting.
I love flirting and openly admit it in my profile. Everybody knows me as a flirt and I have rarely picked up problems because of it.
Rule 1
Do not flirt with complete strangers.
Flirting with complete strangers is inviting trouble. While I don’t flirt with strangers, I will certainly pay a strange woman a compliment if it is deserved, whereas in flirting, I grossly exaggerate with the compliments. I will flirt with the wives or girlfriends of my friends and relatives whenever the opportunity presents itself. I even flirt with my grandson’s girlfriend.
Rule 2
Do not touch the person that you are flirting with.
You flirt with the mouth and the eyes. You don’t need arms and hands to flirt. When you touch the person, it becomes personal and it can easily be misinterpreted. Don’t hug, don’t hold hands, and don’t kiss, not even her hand. If the person you’re flirting with start touching you, move away, and if it continues, stop flirting with him/her.
Rule 3
Do not flirt with somebody if you don’t know his/her partner well.
If your friend has a new lover, it is ok to flirt, even if you were just introduced. The quicker they get used to you, the better. The bottom line is, don’t flirt if the partner does not like you.
Rule 4
If your attentions are not welcome, stop it.
Not everybody enjoys flirting and look out for them. Don’t antagonize people. If the person or his/her lover does not enjoy your attentions, stop it right there and then or you may spoil what would have been a great party.
Rule 5
Only flirt on parties or other gathering where there are many people around.
Don’t flirt with your friend’s partner if you are only two or three couples together. If you are in a public place( like a steakhouse) and there are women in the company, don’t flirt with the staff; even if you don’t have a partner with you.
Rule 6
Keep it above board.
Flirt only if there are other people in the company. Do not flirt if you happen to meet alone on the verandah or while you’re dancing. Do not single somebody out to flirt with. If you want to flirt, flirt with every body.
So there you are. Six simple rules and if you follow them, you will never get problems about flirting. Flirting is a pleasure and a great icebreaker at parties and gatherings. People will see you as a big sport and it will often see you invited again and again.
But flirting has a serious down part if you have a real interest in a somebody. He or she will not take your attentions seriously but if you scale your flirting a bit down towards that person and talk some sense to him or her, your message will get through. If you want to know which girl I fancy at a party, just find the girl I flirt with the least.
I wish you all a great weekend and don’t flirt too much.

No kidding? you sound so serious, I can almost believe you.
You say you love me, I say you do.
You say believe me, I say it's true.
If there's a question you'd like to raise,
It depends on how much it weighs!

wish u a sweet smexy, loving weekend smitten kitten, meow baby
We will always have rules. Even if I say there are no rules, that in itself is a rule.
Sea, boat, candle, and, whisky...
And couple of drops of clonidine,
To leave in English...
I like point 3.
Yes, an important rule if you don't want your face modified. Some guys can get real uptight about it. But every one of those rules are designed to avoid problems. If you break any of them, you're inviting trouble and I say:"Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you."
The person that opposite - is beautiful.
Only be not fond friends,
Flirtation, it is often dangerous.
Flirtation, the moment of a sin is fine,
The body awakes the forgotten feelings,
Only be not fond friends,
Flirtation skillful - at all not art.

Yes, flirting can be dangerous provoking but if one stick to the rules, everything will be fine. Too bad not everybody understand or follow the rules.
now you're talking about the master of flirtation and manipulation.
but...i am very confident...you will teach me..
by the way please fix the bullets ...which i am holding at you..

This is a surprise coming from you and completely different from what I would have expected you to say. So much for my ability to judge people!
But flirting should not attract men of any type if you flirt with the unavailable as I do. As I said in my blog, if I am interested in her, then I'd rather not flirt with her.
You're going to shoot yourself in the foot. You're holding it wrong. You must point the barrel at me, not the grip. That simply won't do.
This is all to protect you against these dangers. I'm like your personal lightning conductor. Eisch, what I would not do for a friend.
Once s-x, Lyubov and Flirtation
Undertook to carry a cart with load, -
And together all were put to it!
Flirtation smiles, stands still,
And the love aspires up!
S-x settled on a glade
Also I ordered to Love: "lay down!"
Love, having tinted sponges gently,
And having whispered something to Flirtation,
I took seat on a closed sleigh pretentiously,
And Flirtation drove a horse!
Runs tired s-x in a pursuit,
Shouts Love: "Don't leave!
After all the cart with a burden is a weight!
Respect my desires!"
Love air-kiss
I sent it, having told:
"Forgive, my knight ironed
I was tired of your entertainments!"
As always the blog was interesting, and as always any didn't leave comments without answer. World and wellbeing to you.
Just when I thought it was safe to venture out again, the iron woman is back.
Thanks for dropping in with these interesting tidbits.
What's this business of putting my comments on Snooky's blog?
Mind you, growing old is not for the faint at heart and nobody said it would be easy.
But I cannot answer your question. Flirting can vary in character, from clumsy gestures and verbal cliches to the discrete bat of the eye.
Though it is always an excuse when in a predicament.
There I was thinking you would have an answer... now I am lost
And it can be such fun to flirt. Stale parties will light up and relative strangers will become friends of only everybody will play the game right.
I flirt for fun only!
What have you done to Teenam.?...
Nothing really. She pointed a gun at me but she was holding it wrong, so I corrected her on how to bold it in order to shoot me and then she went missing in action. Have not seen her since.
I will find her!
Well, flirting with the wrong guy is a good recipe for disaster. I was in Parow earlier this week and heard a very similar story. If this happened last weekend at JJ's place then you were definitely flirting with the wrong customer. And then the mystery of your hidden identity is also solved because I know whose brother was arrested with the villain.
You will have to pick your flirting partners more carefully. That guy is bad news.
She is probably sleeping now.
Must be way after midnight in India now.
