TOO MUCH OF A FLIRT

Flirt according to Webster is to behave amorously without serious intent.  Apparently, it is a lost concept.  One of the characteristics I adore about my fiance, Nakia, is that he is as much of a flirt as I am.  We both understand that it is simply being playful, not an attempt to covet someone else.    Too many people are misled by this flirting, even when it is openly discussed as just that–flirting.  Maybe I am too good at it?  Do I make others sometimes feel too good with the off-handed comments I make?  I love the smiles, the laughs, and the good memories that flirtatiousness lends the day.  But, I sure hate the drama that sometimes follows it.  Whether that be a spouse’s mistrust due to these silly comments, or the unintended deeper feelings evoked in another.  It is so much of who I am as a person, this flirting behavior.  I flirt with women as well as men, single, married, gay, lesbian, black, white, yellow, purple (well, I would if I met a purple being!), native american, asian, doctor, homeless, 49er fan, cowboy fan, country music lover, rap lover, polka music lover…….the only people I don’t flirt with are the chronically stupid people (and they already stopped reading this).   I just read this to my ex husband, Steve, and he asked why I feel the need to defend myself?  I don’t.  I feel the need to educated those around me and prevent any future misunderstandings if at all possible.  So, in brief…I AM A FLIRT!
