learn to flirt

I think have no option now but to say “I’ve done this”.

I had finished my chocolate cake and she said “There’s still some chocolate on your lip.” I said: “Would you like to lick it off?”

I’m seriously thinking of marking this as done. Last week I flirted blatantly, if a trifle crudely. It was not with a stranger, though, so I’m not sure if it counts.

I smiled a lot today at random people. It’s getting very easy. Nice to play peek-a-boo too :-).

I did it! This morning I winked at somebody! Naturally and easy.

Yet another compliment for my voice; over the telephone, from somebody I’ve never met. I must be doing something right!

I’m not sure it this is flirting or not, but I just had a light conversation about a tourist destination with a nice young lady at a helpdesk. It was so easy! If I was used to it I wouldn’t have noticed it happening.

Apparently flirting is play between adults, and one just ‘knows’ when something is play and when it is serious. Like the difference between a boxing match and a fistfight, or Monopoly and high-stakes poker, I suppose.

I never was good at playing games, I’m not sure how to proceed with this one.

What a wonderful thing the web is. I found a tutorial on flirting!

Can a bearded man flirt? Or should I give up on this thing?

I don’t have a clue. How does one start?

Are there any rules?

How do I know if someone is flirting with me?
