Sitting at the airport in Las Palmas waiting for my flight back home. Finally...

It have been four long weeks and I am really missing my own bed, the pets and the neighbours around.

While traveling I have found that flirting is a big past time among the people, it seems to have no limits, age and gender (!) all cast aside, there is the traditional glans of an eye coming back time after time to the intense eye-lock that is impossible to avoid.

What is it that sets it off? The innocence of it, the very public place with all that surveillance makes it safe, or is it simply that those that travels with planes must have some kind of order in their life?

I have no answer, it is great fun to watch and take part of it, but then it struck me - it is the same on all travels... wither with bus, train, air or ship.

Have you too noticed, do you have your own favourite places and situations where you become a flirtatious being?

I´m not sure Mike, sometimes friendliness is mistaken for flirting, that´s happened to me many times, and I´m always surprised when a man interprets my friendly nature the wrong way.

Last year some of my students bought me a beautiful handheld fan, and inside the box were instructions about how to use it for sending unspoken messages to a possible suitor.

It was so interesting to learn how in the past, the Spanish ladies used the positioning of their fans to flirt with men..... and sometimes to reject them.

Flirting is great fun...however I do agree with Jan, there is a fine line between flirting and being friendly...and they can be mistaken

A great saying I try to live by:

Always look happy, wherever you go, as you never know who falls in love with your smile

So when I smile...am I flirting?? Do men see that as flirting??

dunno

AND DON'T TELL ME I SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER BY NOW very mad

Maybe I am calling all curiosity past a point "flirting", I do not venture too far along that line... I need to safe my guns for "the one".

For the Spanish fans... they still have the skills, without the fan they use eye lashes batting in a very advanced way - sometimes almost with a magic behind it.

Ok... here needs example....

She is sitting opposite of me, some 20 meters between the rows of chairs.

I am reading my book, having a coffee, she is reading a book too, but does not really. Instead she is surfing around checking out people, she is an attractive girl, and knows it.

But then she go back to this single guy in front of her, his luggage still on the cart not yet checked in. She pick up details as if registering something bit by bit, all the time returning to his face as if looking for a response.

When he does in the end see her, she straighten her neck slightly, taking in his features and then do a quick around check, and returns to his face. She moves some heir to the side, looks at him still and then gives a short smile.

He do not clearly respond to the smile, he have the book catching his attention but have got affected by the female at his opposite. He raises his eyes again, waiting and she is quick to be back in the eye-lock, now both gives and approving smile.

Flirting?

I would say it is...

Well life is so very short dear, no sense wasting it being a total sour puss and dribbling away our todays and tomorrows doh, and flirting is very good for you, almost as good as surrendering to that ever illusive love bug, when it occasionally offers itself up.

'Waste not, want not' I always say.... cin cin wine!

Flirting should be innocent, a spice and an open appreciation of another person, without bonds or promises of any kind. If we can decide that it works for us, it becomes interesting.

When we too easy take a flirt for an invite to something more I think we venture into deep waters and I do not want to go there.

True said here - enjoy life, take in the abundance of romance and when ever it is possible, share your positive energy. All it takes is a flash of a second.

That was astute Mike.... some do assume it could be an 'invitation' to something more, but I've always considered little flirtings as signs of appreciation.... that might lead to more interest.
Sort of a mental flower being offered bouquet.

But of course, depending on background and situation , could be perceived differently than the spirit in which it is being offered cool.

This I have a problem getting my head around...Why should it be innocent. I understand 'each to their own' and putting a smile on someones face...But what is wrong with flirting with your partener...



mike69spain: If we can decide that it works for us, it becomes interesting.


This I'm cool with...if it works for the individual/couple and helps keeps the 'spice' then I suspose go with the flow.

I'm all for sharing as much positive energy as possible...Its one of the laws of the universe...And like you said all it takes is a 'flash second'..If everyone smiled at the first person they met/meet in the morning and said 'Hello'..with a smile, hopefully 'they' will do the same and sooner rather than later the whole world will be smiling...
